by Nic Jones

It's a question that seems especially pertinent here. Drummer Dylan Ryan has come up with a programme of compositions here which, while they might lack something from the melodic point ...

Herculaneum: Orange Blossom
by Troy Collins
Herculaneum is both the sister city to Pompeii, also destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and a blazingly original modernist quintet with capable chops and ample ideas. The brainchild of drummer Dylan Ryan, the group's resident composer, Herculaneum is a rare entity: a new group that seemingly arrives from nowhere, fully formed with its own ...

Greg Burk: The Way In
by Jerry D'Souza
Since Greg Burk's first three solo recordings were self-released, they may have gone under the radar for many listeners. This is his first recording to have a wide release, and a welcome one at that. It should help bring Burk's solo music to a deservedly larger audience. His thinking is wide-ranging and agile, and this music ...
The Rempis Percussion Quartet: Rip Tear Crunch
by Nic Jones
The first striking thing about this music is the sense of space which just could have been the last outcome from a quartet lineup that includes two drummers. As it turns out, this music has a suppleness and flexibility that bodes well for the future of the group, as well as for any listener who gets ...
