by Geno Thackara
Andy Milne The Re:Mission Contrology Records 2020 Though Andy Milne actually hasn't recorded in the classic trio format before, you'd never know it just from The Re:Mission.

by Jakob Baekgaard
The history of jazz is not only a story of great individuals, but also a narrative of partnerships that have shaped the development of the music.

by Chris May
Of the three dozen albums released in Blue Note's 180gm vinyl Blue Note 80 reissue series, Robert Glasper's 2005 debut, Canvas, is the only one recorded in the twenty-first century.
