by Ian Patterson
Jazztopad 2015: World Premieres National Forum Of Music Wroclaw, Poland November 27-29, 2015 November in Wroclaw means jazz. Ten days no less. Jazztopad, however, is more than just another jazz festival. A core component of the programme since Piotr Turkiewicz took up the reins as Artistic Director in 2008 ...
Ben Monder: Amorphae
by John Kelman
Having made his first--and, up to now, only--appearance on Munich's lauded ECM Records on the late drummer Paul Motian's Garden of Eden (2006), it's certainly taken a long time for the virtuosically talented guitarist to get a date of his own. Monder's résumé--while filled with significant associations including, in addition to Motian, composer/bandleader Maria Schneider, double ...
Bill Frisell Trio at Peace Center
by Mark Sullivan
Bill Frisell Trio Peace Center Greenville, SC November 22, 2015 The promotional description for this Bill Frisell Trio show promised “music from Frisell's entire, and quite versatile, repertoire."

Mark Wingfield: The Continuing Evolution of the Electric Guitar
by John Mark McGuire
I was first introduced to the music of Mark Wingfield through listening to his first duo album with the inventive genius of Massachusetts acoustic mastermind, Kevin Kastning. Although in my gut I suspected it, it was almost impossible, still, to believe when it was confirmed that both players had indeed improvised the entire album. While retaining ...
Michael Gibbs & The NDR Big Band: Play a Bill Frisell Set List / In My View
by Ian Patterson
Though his recording career dates back to the early 1960s, Zimbabwe-born arranger, composer and musician Michael Gibbs hasn't always been as prolific as a leader as he might have been. Five albums in the first half the 1970 represented his most industrious period of creativity, as teaching, television and film work and arranging for a surprisingly ...
Stockholm Jazz Festival 2015
by John Ephland
Stockholm Jazz Festival Stockholm, Sweden October 9-18, 2015 The sleeper at this year's Stockholm Jazz Festival, and one this reviewer initially found more a curiosity than anything else, oddly enough was downright riveting, not to mention the first evening's headliner. More in the category of being a name crossover artist ...
Silent Songs: Introducing Ruben Machtelinckx
by Jakob Baekgaard
The easiest way to impress as a musician is to play loud and fast, but it is not necessarily the most emotionally engaging way of playing music. Instead, some of the best music creates a quiet room that it is possible to inhabit for the listener and such a space has become necessary in a time ...
Joe Jackson at the Paramount Theater, Denver
by Geoff Anderson
Joe Jackson Paramount Theater Denver October 8, 2015 Joe Jackson has led a double (or maybe triple) life for most of his lengthy career. He hit the scene in 1979 with his debut album Look Sharp! (A&M 1979) rolling into the U.S. from England as part of the “New Wave," a ...
Tom Csatari Band: Outro Waltz
by Dave Wayne
Deliberately low-fi and available as a download only (though you will be sent a repurposed album cover with a download code Scotch-taped to it if you request one), Outro Waltz by the Tom Csatari Band is, depending on your mood or musical orientation, completely charming or somewhat annoying. The download, ironically, is divided into two sides: ...
