Mike Gibbs: Revisiting Tanglewood 63: The Early Tapes

With British jazz in 2021 in better shape than ever before, record companies are being emboldened to revisit their tape libraries and reissue historic but long deleted albums.

Dan Dean: Fanfare For The Common Man
by Dan McClenaghan
Songs Without Words (Origin Classical, 2017) opened the door to Dan Dean's giant step into “going vocal"— an innovative approach to his choir-like voice-layering presentations of classical music. Rain Painting (Origin Records, 2021), teaming Dean with guitarist John Stowell, proved a perfect digression into Stowell's distinctive compositions, employing Dean's vocal harmonies, bass playing and drum programming ...

The Very Singular Mr. Ran Blake
by Duncan Heining
