by Raul d'Gama Rose

Bill Laswell and Sacred System: Imaginary Cuba: Deconstructing Havana
by Jack Bowers
This is “piecemeal” music, spliced together in a studio by Bill Laswell to present a sound–picture of modern–day Havana, Cuba. It’s world music, not Jazz, and how well the enterprise succeeds is, we presume, in the ear of the beholder. Laswell has been called (by Billboard magazine) “way ahead of his time.” He may be well ...
Bill Laswell: Invisible Design
by AAJ Staff

The characteristic Laswell sound is ...
