Charles Mingus: Thrice Upon A Theme
by Matthew Miller
The reissue/compilation has always held a tenuous position in the music world. At best, it can save a work from obscurity; at worst, it can take it out of historical context and unnecessarily clutter the market with music that has been safely anthologized. A reissue of a reissue, Thrice Upon a Theme, is nonetheless a welcome ...
Froy Aagre Offbeat: Countryside
by Stephen Latessa
Featuring finely crafted compositions and precise, yet stirring performances, Countryside is an ambitious and lovely followup to Frøy Aagre Offbeat's debut album, 2004's Katalyze. The album sports varying moods, veering from stately elegance to moments of more delicate humor and whimsy. Composed and arranged by the saxophonist/leader, each track has obviously been worked over ...

Charles Mingus: Thrice Upon a Theme
by Kurt Gottschalk
In 1956, bassist, bandleader and composer Charles Mingus began an ascent that would carry him at least until the Town Hall debacle of 1962. The explosion of energy, passion and fury that he would exhibit over those six years could barely be predicted from the dozen or so records he'd already released--good records, but tame compared ...

Mats Eilertsen: Turanga
by Budd Kopman
Turanga is a low-key but intense album that is evocative of states of mind rather than sound images. The publicity sheet that came with the record has “(movement, rhythm, flow)" next to the title, and the recording certainly has those components in spades. While on the whole it has a Middle Eastern/Southeast Asia feel, it is ...
Froy Aagre: Katalyze
by Stephen Latessa
Norway, the land of fjords, reindeer, and Vikings has presented us with an album of cerebral grace. Frøy Aagre Offbeat's debut album Katalyze is a beautifully recorded and musically diverse offering. Consisting of Aagre on saxophone, Andreas Ulvo Langnes on piano, Roger Williamsen on double bass, and Freddy Augdal on drums, the band plays with an ...

The Tribute Sessions is an homage to those musicians who highly influenced the singer and songwriter. Along with nods to Canray Fontenot, Clifton Chenier and A.P. Carter, Simien covers Sam Cooke’s “Rome Wasn’t ...
