Originally from North Yorkshire but now London-based, saxophonist and composer Jack Wilson presents his debut album, The Bear And The Wolf.

Wilson, ...
Sam Norris: Wood/Gold - Solo Saxophone Volume 1
by Jack Kenny
This is music where you need to embrace the journey, not the destination: The music might not have a clear beginning, middle, and end in the traditional sense; enjoying the moment-to-moment unfolding of sounds and ideas is the purpose. Sometimes the act of listening to a saxophone is rewarded because the musician wants to ...
Zen Zadravec: New Paradigm
by Jack Bowers
While there are few new wrinkles on Canadian-born pianist Zen Zadravec's album, New Paradigm, neither is there anything to mar this well-wrapped post-bop session comprised of eight of his generally bright and pleasing compositions and arrangements. Zadravec leads what is essentially a sextet (three-horn front line and rhythm), mixing things up by adding a ...
Rick Vito: Slidemaster
by Scott Gudell
Rick Vito is truly a top slide guitarist / USA and he has consistently been a top gun for decades.

La coreana DoYeon Kim, specialista di gayageum (o kayagum), cetra orizzontale di tradizione anch'essa coreana con cassa armonica in legno e ponticelli mobili dotata di 12 corde di seta, benché i modelli più recenti ed evoluti arrivino a squadernarne fino a 25, nonché cantante, giunge con questo Wellspring al suo quinto album, che però è in ...
David Occhipinti: Looking Glass
by Glenn Astarita
David Occhipinti delivers a compact yet richly textured statement with Looking Glass, a collection that runs approximately 35 minutes and registers more as a carefully curated EP than a conventional full-length album. The work centers on original compositions for electric guitar and string trio, drawing inspiration from Dadaist artists and the surreal narratives of Lewis Carroll. ...
Mick Goodrick & Fred Hersch: Feebles, Fables And Ferns
by Jack Kenny
Recorded in Fred Hersch's New York studio in August 1988, Feebles, Fables and Ferns captures a rare, one-time meeting between two luminaries who were both active in Boston at the time. That it has taken nearly four decades to reach the public is a question the music itself seems to answer: this is not the kind ...
Eric Vloiemans & Will Holshouser: Back On The Road Again
by Jack Bowers
Here is an instrumental duo straight out of Alice's wonderland: trumpet and accordion. You heard right. Back on the Road Again features only two artists: Dutch trumpeter Eric Vloiemans and American accordionist Will Holshouser. The two formed a bond in 2018 and have been performing together for the most part ever since. Back on the Road ...
Richard Baratta: Another Kind of Bird
by Pierre Giroux
Charlie Parker's music has withstood every conceivable tribute. It has been copied, analyzed, celebrated, and occasionally embalmed by its own importance. Imagine the surprise at the release of drummer-percussionist Richard Baratta's Another Kind of Bird, which is not another museum-piece salute to Bird. Baratta and pianist-arranger Bill O'Connell treat Parker's compositions as living, breathing works capable ...
