Dörner-Schwerdt-Sartorius: Jul Fuel

Read "Jul Fuel" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Jul Fuel unfolds more like a tale of three cities than a singular statement--especially when the tracks are experienced in album order. The release transitions from a solo piano performance to a piano-drum duet, a trio performance, and, finally, a slide trumpet solo. At its core, however, Jul Fuel revolves around German improviser Axel Dörner, even ...

Giacomo Merega: Opus Dichotomous

Read "Opus Dichotomous" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The title adopted by Giacomo Merega and Joe Morris' duo release Opus Dichotomous might be a false flag. This recording is anything but an exercise in contrasts. Merega's electric bass and Morris' guitar travel congruously throughout the nine tracks to deliver these improvised gems. Perhaps the dichotomy the title refers to is that of botany where ...
