Musician

Dave Storrs

In 1969 Dave Storrs came up from a rehearsal in the basement to watch man walk on the moon. He participated in, and absorbed, the music of the time—Hendrix, Coltrane, The Beatles, Miles Davis, Mingus and James Brown. Between music, some school, some hitchhiking, and playing all kinds of styles in all kinds of places, an approach emerged. Seeing Sun Ra in 1979 inspired Storrs in new directions and in the '80s he began leading and composing for various ensembles—Freezer Burn, Multnomah Rhythm Ensemble and The Tone Sharks—as well as doing film and video scores. Storrs first albums, Ross Island (1984) and Jumper Cables (1987), received national air play and critical acclaim

Dan McClenaghan's Best Releases Of 2020

Read "Dan McClenaghan's Best Releases Of 2020" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


In a year that will be remembered for the coming of the COVID-19 pandemic, the music survived, thrived even, not on the bandstand playing for live audiences, but in the studio, socially distanced, in many cases collaborating from afar with swapped sound files. Musicians with time on their hands were especially inspired. These are the 2020 ...

Dave Storrs' Sound Shack: Part 1

Read "Dave Storrs' Sound Shack: Part 1" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

And Louie Records was born. If Louie Records can be said to have enjoyed a heyday as a proper record company (whatever ...

Read "Terra Incognita" reviewed by Troy Dostert


In a musical career that stretches back to the 1980s, tenor saxophonist Rich Halley has stoutly maintained his independent path in creating jazz that is inspired by the freedom of the '60s avant-garde but which also draws liberally from the language of bop. You can hear both Albert Ayler and Sonny Rollins in his playing. But ...
