Damon Smith, Peter Kowald, Joëlle Léandre & Bertram Turetzky: Bass Duos 2000-2007

One function of recordings is to document a performer's development.

Two of the three discs in this set were previously released, but ...

Tilting Curvaceous is all-of-a-piece, s0nic 0penings' instigator and extraordinary alto saxophonist Patrick Brennan informs us, emerging from a single “meta-groove interface," to be heard whole.

East Axis, Sebastiano Dessanay, Christoph Irniger & Andrew Cyrille

There are more. Also on the bill, ...
Gaia Wilmer, Greg Ward, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Janel Leppin & Other New Releases
by Ludovico Granvassu
There are different ways to unpack this playlist. One of them is approaching it as a travelogue taking us to the music incubator that is Chicago; to a scene deserving wider recognition in Washington D.C.; to Brazil, France and Italy. And it all starts from Free Form Funk Freqs' 3rd Galaxy. Happy listening!
Art Ensemble of Chicago: The Sixth Decade: From Paris to Paris
by Mike Jurkovic
Recorded live in Paris in February 2020, The Sixth Decade: From Paris to Paris. presents Art Ensemble Of Chicago—as defiantly daring avant-garde as that first night in Paris, 1969 —giving no quarter whatsoever in their lifelong, diasporic pursuit of creation unbound.
