by Dan Bilawsky

by Hrayr Attarian

Noah Rosen / Alan Siva: O.I.L. (Orchestrated Improvised Lives)
by Eyal Hareuveni
Alan Silva is one of the last true heroes of free jazz and improvised music. He was at the right place, at the right time with his own powerful sound.

Convergence Quartet: Slow And Steady

It might just be that the third record from the Transatlantic Convergence Quartet is its best yet.

Marco Eneidi: Pallettes of Color & Sound
by Anna Poczatek
Marco Eneidi seems to become a forgotten artist. Which is odd, at the very least, because his improvisation workshops are attended by the first seat of the Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich, and because, in just the past few years, the saxophonist has played with artists including pianist Cecil Taylor, guitarist Joe Morris, reed multi-instrumentalists Roscoe Mitchell, Peter Brötzmann ...

Jazz: A Blessed Obsession
by Mark Corroto
Jazz listeners travel some strange and beautiful paths. It might have all begun with collectors trying to find a legendary Edison cylinder that New Orleans trumpeter Buddy Bolden--some believe to be the very first jazz musician--may (or may not) have recorded in 1904.
