by John Sharpe
The fact that Ingrid Laubrock's Anti-house is an established working band is borne out by the degree of trust the German saxophonist places in her world class cast of collaborators.

Mario Pavone: Blue Dialect
by Mark Corroto
Gone are the days where a jazz trio maintains a three month residency, playing nightly in a club.

But have no ...

Anthony Braxton's Sonic Genome at Turin's Jazz Festival 2015
by Francesco Martinelli
Egyptian Museum Turin Jazz Festival Turin, Italy May 28, 2015 Someone might ask: “Why is an African-American saxophonist from Chicago performing inside the Egyptian Museum in Turin?

Anna Webber’s Percussive Mechanics: Refractions
by Mark Corroto
Credit the new generation of jazz musicians for neither following tradition, nor coloring within the lines. Their music is not created within “the tradition." Unless, of course, that tradition includes maverick innovators like Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, and John Zorn, players that, at times, have been given the label of non-jazz. This new crop of players ...
