Jacam Manricks: Trigonometry

Read "Trigonometry" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


The reason that there is seldom a wrong note played by Jacám Manricks on Trigonometry is that notes, phrases and the spiraling flow of seemingly unending lines appear to be so extremely well thought-out that nothing could possibly sound out of place. To hear the saxophonist play in soft, dulcet tones that occupy the paler colors ...

Read "Undead Jazz Festival: Kenny's Castaways Edition" reviewed by Daniel Lehner


Every zombie film fan knows that being bitten by a creature of the night is a fate worse than death. The only cure is to have a member of your party load up a shotgun and take you out before you turn into a limping, brain-hungry shell of a person. So giving an event a header ...

Alan Ferber: Chamber Songs: Music for Nonet and Strings

Read "Chamber Songs: Music for Nonet and Strings" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


There is a magnificent sequence on “Paradox," about four and a half minutes into the piece, as it races upward. The instruments trade interpretations of the song's conundrum, its paradox, the inverted chord changes on which the song is built--saxophones, then trumpet, the blat-blat-blat of Alan Ferber's trombone, before the strings get their say. It is ...
