by John Eyles
July 31, 2023

Although it was recorded in 2015, at Studioboerne45 Berlin, it took several years for Strange Songs to see the light of day.

Alan Wilkinson/Steve Noble/John Coxon/Pat Thomas: The Founder Effect I

by Mark Corroto
May 15, 2014

You cannot judge a book by its cover. Maybe, but music fans somehow know that expression doesn't lend itself to album covers (in this case, CD covers). Look at the Blue Note Records covers from the 1960 sixties, Miles Davis' On The Corner (Columbia, 1972), or The Clash's London Calling (Columbia, 1979), and tell me you ...

John Butcher & Mark Sanders / Alex Ward & Roger Turner / John Tchicai & Tony Marsh: Treader Duos

by John Eyles
December 11, 2009

These three contrasting reeds/drums duos are a fine record of the concert at which they were recorded, in February 2008 at St Giles-in-the-Fields church, London. Each of the three tracks lasts about twenty five minutes, long enough for the duos to give a good account of themselves. The three tracks give an opportunity to hear some ...

Treader

January 20, 2008

The 2001 album Masses was far from the first electronic infusion into jazz. It wasn't even the first time the British duo Spring Heel Jack--known up to that point for more beat-oriented electronica--had worked with acoustic improvisers. But it was a remarkable piece of work--perhaps the first time jazz and electronic music had met on such ...
