Christian Wallumrod Ensemble: Fabula Suite Lugano
by John Kelman
With The Zoo is Far (ECM, 2007), Norwegian pianist Christian Wallumrød introduced a group that expanded on the unique sonorities of his other, same-titled Christian Wallumrød Ensemble.

David Sylvian: To Blow the Heart Wide Open
by Nenad Georgievski
Many artists deliberately avoid taking risks, making changes instead opting for the safe, but David Sylvian is not one of them.

Ergo: Multitude, Solitude
by John Kelman
As jazz leans away from characteristics that so defined its earliest days, groups are emerging with unorthodox instrumental combinations, fleshed out by the vast potential of technological soundscaping.

Supersilent: 9
