Various Brits: Just Not Cricket!
by Mark Corroto

Wadada Leo Smith: Occupy the World
by Eyal Hareuveni
Great trumpeter and composer Wadada Leo Smith's five epic extended compositions collected on the double album Occupy The World mark him as a major American composer with a musical language and artistic vision that transcends the boundaries of the Afro-American heritage of jazz.

Evan Parker/Barry Guy/ Paul Lytton: Live At Maya Recordings Festival
by John Sharpe
After twenty one recordings there may not be too much more to say about the superlative English threesome of saxophonist Evan Parker, bassist Barry Guy and drummer Paul Lytton.

Maya Homburger - Barry Guy: Tales of Enchantment
by AAJ Italy Staff
The sound! Come per l'estetica propugnata dalla ECM di Manfred Eicher, così per l'inossidabile duo Homburger-Guy appare quasi scontato individuare nella sonorità la preoccupazione/caratteristica prioritaria. Un suono pieno, ineccepibile nell'intonazione, imperioso, modulato nella più ampia gamma delle possibilità timbriche e dinamiche. A questo si aggiunge poi la loro attenzione/sensibilità per le strutture e il timing, che ...
Liudas Mockunas & Barry Guy: Lava

However, he acquits himself well in a voice entirely his own. Co-founder of the No Business imprint, Mockūnas weighs in as one of the country's premier ...
