Brigitte Beraha And John Turville: Red Skies
by Bruce Lindsay
On the sleeve and the CD it's “Brigitte Beraha and John Turville"; on the press release and the electronic data it's “John Turville and Brigitte Beraha." This inconsistent approach to credits has no impact on the quality of the music on Red Skies, of course, but it is perhaps indicative of the ego-free zone inhabited by ...
Nilson Matta: Nilson Matta's Black Orpheus
by Dan Bilawsky
The story of Orpheus and Eurydice has been told and retold in various mediums and manners throughout the ages. Claudio Monteverdi used opera as his means of transmitting the tale, alt-rocker Nick Cave tackled it head-on in song and author Neil Gaiman revisited the story in comic book format, but the list doesn't stop there; any ...

Cave Women: Cave Women
by Chris Mosey
Scarcely the most appropriate name. There's nothing primitive or brutal about this five-woman outfit from Sacramento, California.

by Nicholas F. Mondello
Fifty-plus years after saxophonist Stan Getz and singer/guitarist Astrud Gilberto captured composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and served up bossa nova for popular consumption, musicians continue to eagerly return to Brazilian classics.

Emy Tseng: Sonho
by Dan Bilawsky
