by Nic Jones
May 3, 2009

Here's another of Reel's exercises in twentieth century tape archaeology. Like earlier efforts, it has the practical effect of sealing another hole in the documented fabric of British jazz and improvised music from the last four decades of that century. It's highly worthwhile too, this labor of love, as on this occasion it yields a program ...

Perspectives 2009 Vasteras, Sweden March 5th-7th, 2009 For those who have not attended, or perhaps not even heard of, the Perspectives International Festival for Creative Music, held in Våsteras, 90 minutes northwest of Stockholm, there are two comparable equivalents.

Herb Robertson: Abandon in the Moment

by Sean Patrick Fitzell
March 25, 2009

Amid a whorl of scraped cello, tenor sax squawks, and bass clarinet blats, trumpeter Herb Robertson paused, his eyes closed in concentration. With NSA-like hearing ability, he pierced the action with a bracing note that crystallized the unfurling improvisation.
