Deep Tone Project: Onward

Read "Onward" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Another fine collection of contemporary jazz from the Ukrainian collective band Deep Tone Project. The personnel is unchanged from their first album Flow (Fancy Music, 2014).

Konstantin Ionenko Quartet: Noema

Read "Noema" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Ukrainian bassist/composer Konstantin Ionenko introduces a striking new quartet on Noema. His previous release Deep Immersion (Fancy Music, 2013) was a quintet with piano, trumpet and saxophone.
