Boris Kozlov: First Things First

by David A. Orthmann
April 7, 2022

Bassist Boris Kozlov, pianist Art Hirahara and drummer Rudy Royston often operate as the rhythm section on sessions for the venerable Posi-Tone Records imprint.

Art Hirahara: Open Sky

by David A. Orthmann
October 2, 2021

At the close of each track of Art Hirahara's Open Sky it feels like the slate gets wiped clean and the record begins anew. The disc is rife with turnabouts and the contrasts in character of the thirteen performances are often startling.
