Jacob Melchior: It's About Time

Read "It's About Time" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


The art of the trio often takes shape in a variety of ways. Many of today's leading three-piece groups rely on a difficult-is-better approach, reveling in rhythmic trickery, harmonic complexity and melodic fragmentation.

Read "The Face Of My Love" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose
