by Eyal Hareuveni
William Thomson, better known as Lord Kelvin (1824-1907), was a Scottish physicist, engineer and inventor who defined absolute zero--the theoretical absence of all thermal energy. The musical incarnation of Lord Kelvin comes from Norway--certainly a cold place on the globe--its three members meeting while attending the famous Trondheim Conservatory. Like its debut, (Dances in the Smoke ...

by Bob Hatteau
ECM, ACT, Winter & Winter, FMP, MPS, ENJA... Germany sounds like a generous land for creative jazz record labels.

Lajos Dudas: 50 Years With Jazzclarinet: The Best Of Lajos Dudas
by Dan Bilawsky

Paul Hubweber & Philip Zoubek: Archiduc Concert: Dansaert Variatiions
by John Eyles
Trombonist Paul Hubweber has previously impressed in the trio PaPaJo, which he shares with bassist John Edwards and percussionist Paul Lovens, rightfully being compared with the late, great Paul Rutherford.

Daniel Blacksberg: Bit Heads
by Clifford Allen
It's somewhat surprising that there aren't too many active trombone/bass/drums power trios around, with the model being strongly set in the late 1970s New York scene by such bands as BassDrumBone (trombonist Ray Anderson, drummer Gerry Hemingway, bassist Mark Helias) and the comparable, albeit freer group Brahma, with drummer Barry Altschul. The lack of current 'bone-heavy ...
