Each of the participants is acutely aware of the needs and demands of the moment, and the music they fashion is accordingly free of overt precedents at the same time as it works the seam of free improvisation in trenchant fashion. The nature of the forces deployed Aurora ...

Read "Sextessense. A Tribute To John Stevens And The SME" reviewed by Nic Jones


Anyone for an antidote to repertory? On Sextessense: A Tribute To John Stevens and the SME, the musicians involved are acknowledging what through sheer persistence and longevity has become a part of the tradition (one that is still likely to have the reactionaries foaming at the mouth, which, of course, gives them something to do with ...

Kiku Day / Henry Kaiser: Zen Kaiju

Read "Zen Kaiju" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


Berkeley-based experimental guitarist Henry Kaiser has gained a justified reputation for his eclectic tastes and the way that he fuses his influences into an idiosyncratic guitar style. He began playing the guitar after listening to seminal free-improv guitarist Derek Bailey and has a deep knowledge of the Grateful Dead's musical journeys, as well as the 1970s ...

Ecco Don Moye piegarsi sinuosamente alle suadenti, morbide armonie di “Estate” con un ...
