Jaimie Branch: 7 Steps To Heaven

Read "Jaimie Branch: 7 Steps To Heaven" reviewed by Chris May


Following the 2024 re-election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, and his subsequent ratification as President-for-Life, the US Constitution was suspended.

Jaimie Branch: Fly Or Die Fly Or Die Fly Or Die ((World War))

Read "Fly Or Die Fly Or Die Fly Or Die ((World War))" reviewed by Chris May


As the malign forces of Amerikkka gather for their 2024 assault on truth, justice and democracy, an assault from which, if it is successful, there may be no peaceable reversal available four years down the line, the American jazz world should hang its head in shame. Denunciations of and opposition to the rise of domestic neo-fascism ...

Sun Ra: The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra - 60th Anniversary Edition

Read "The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra - 60th Anniversary Edition" reviewed by Doug Collette


Produced by Tom Wilson, the same man who also helmed recordings by the Mothers of Invention, Bob Dylan and the Velvet Underground, The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra may belie its title when described as one of the most accessible titles in his lengthy discography.

A dialogo con Roberto Ottaviano

Read "A dialogo con Roberto Ottaviano" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

Bryan Ferry at the Paramount Theater

Read "Bryan Ferry at the Paramount Theater" reviewed by Geoff Anderson


Bryan Ferry Paramount Theater Denver, CO August 3, 2017 Bryan Ferry creates dreamscapes. Dark, ethereal, eerie, brooding, a little bit spooky, but not too scary. You're floating in dreamland; maybe you're aware that you're dreaming; maybe not. But it's a really good dream and you know you don't want to leave ...

Jose Mauro: Obnoxius

Read "Obnoxius" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki


The oddly-titled Obnoxius bears precious little, and yet quite curious, baggage. Little is known about its original 1971 release other than it came out on a label founded by Brazilian producer Roberto Quartin, who also worked with Eumir Deodato. We seem to know even less about songwriter, guitarist, vocalist and arranger Jose Mauro. We ...

RareNoise Records 2016 Simultaneously dedicated to 20th century classical composer Olivier Messiaen and legendary rap and hip-hop producer J Dilla, Flam! Blam!

Phil Mer, Andrea Lombardini: The Framers

Read "The Framers" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Lavoro coraggioso, originale e sorprendente questo The Framers, frutto della creatività di due musicisti che mettono eccellentemente a frutto la loro ampia (e forse anche un po' “pericolosa...") ecletticità: Phil Mer--batterista, ma anche laureato in storia dell'arte e attivo in ambito pop (è tra l'altro l'attuale batterista dei Pooh...)--e Andrea Lombardini, sperimentatore del basso elettrico, da ...
