Samuel Mösching: Ethereal Kinks
by Kyle Simpler
Two words that frequently get overused when talking about jazz are “fusion" and “eclectic." In many cases, if something is difficult to categorize, one of these terms will probably apply. Unfortunately, in many cases, these terms also fail to truly capture the essence of the music. However, for Samuel Mösching's Ethereal Kinks, both eclectic and fusion ...

Harrison Bankhead Sextet: Morning Sun, Harvest Moon
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Harrison Bankhead's uniqueness is not restricted solely to his bass playing, which is touched by the melodicism of Ray Brown and the authority and inventiveness of Charles Mingus in a voice singularly his own. Bankhead is a composer with a sensibility finely attuned to a painterly impressionism, while being unafraid to fly in the face of ...
