Enemy Live at BIMHUIS Amsterdam
by BIMHUIS
Fiercely intense and beautifully intricate, Enemy spotlights three brilliant musical minds: bassist Frans Petter Eldh, pianist Kit Downes and drummer James Maddren.

On top of that, the music of Enemy is very intricate and their performances are tight-knit. The energy of the musicians is infectious; their compositions are challenging and full of contemporary beats and astounding ...

by Roger Farbey
An original member of Empirical, featured on their self-titled 2007 debut album, pianist Kit Downes went on to form the left-field jazz-rock trio Troyka, but had been leading his own trio as far back as 2005, with his first recording Golden released on Basho Records in 2009. On that album, as here, he was accompanied by drummer James Maddren who, like Downes, is an alumnus of the Royal Academy of Music. Incidentally, in March 2018, Maddren was honoured with the ...

Napster founder Sean Parker is bidding on the music giant. Tech-blogs have used the word “irony." But they may have it backwards. They think that this would be a victory for Parker, when it will more likely be his undoing. There is no doubt in my mind that Warner would sell to Napster founder, Sean Parker's group, assuming they could come up with a reasonable bid. In fact, Warner would love to. Tech-blogs have used the word “irony" to describe ...

If you like, just skip ahead and read my latest MTT essay here. Early in January, I did a rather extensive review of Thumbplay Music. In it, I suggested features that were missing from the cloud-based music service. Soon thereafter, I was in a book store and I started flipping through The Upside of Irrationality by Dan Ariely.

All About Jazz @ Spinner
By Tad Hendrickson Matthew Shipp has a great new solo album coming out, but it's his mouth that once again causes a stir. There's been a rumble in the jazz jungle these last few weeks as a new Jazztimes article on the experimental pianist makes the rounds. There has been a number of posts here at All About Jazz with a lot of back-and-forth about comments Shipp made, some new and some published previously. According to Shipp, both Wayne Shorter's ...
