Michele Sperandio Quartet: The Sea Of Music
by Neri Pollastri
Un disco di cover di brani provenienti dall'ambito perlopiù pop “colto," con autori che spaziano da Robert Wyatt a Robert Fripp, da Nick Drake a Elvis Costello, fino a toccare Tim Bukley, Cristina Donà e persino Lucio Dalla, scegliendo brani aventi tutti un riferimento al mare: questo il contenuto di The Sea of Music, a nome ...
David G White: While You Were Sleeping
by Dan McClenaghan
Guitarist David White made a splash on Origin Records with his Big Neighborhood band. Neighbors was released in 2005 on the label, followed by 11:11 in 2007. He picked up a Grammy nomination.

Kenneth Dahl Knudsen: Anti Robotic Dance Music
by Ieva Pakalniškytė
First performing at Vilnius' Tamsta Club in 2023, Anti Robotic Dance Music initially appeared as a burst of futuristic jazz, rock, drum-and-bass energy, shaped by the immediacy of a trio set with a large ensemble. Heard now as a recording, that same performance sharpens into a clearer articulation of bassist and composer Kenneth Dahl Knudsen's defined concept. ...

Rachel Eckroth & John Hadfield, featuring Petros Klampanis: Olhos de Gato
by Katchie Cartwright
Rachel Eckroth and John Hadfield were in Greece to record Speaking In Tongues (Adhyâropa Records, 2025). The freewheeling piano-drum duo found themselves with an extra day in Athens after finishing the recording, so they decided to enlist bassist Petros Klampanis for another little session, just for fun. No expectations, just a bit of free improvisation.
David G White: While You Were Sleeping
by Paul Rauch
Guitarist David G. White has an independent streak in him that has endured from his early days on the scene in Boston and New York in the 1990s. Grounded, like most fusion-oriented players, in bebop language, White learned the nuances of jazz improvisation from his mentor Charlie Shoemake in Los Angeles. Now based in Oakland, his ...
Faces: Early Steps
by Doug Collette
Released somewhat under the radar in the fall of 2025, Early Steps is the missing link in the chain of archiving projects within the vault of the now-defunct British band Faces. Its content discovered by late band member Ian McLagan while researching the essential box set Five Guys Walk Into A ...
