by John Sharpe
Are life events audible in music? They would certainly seem to be in the case of Canadian drummer/composer Harris Eisenstadt.

Heck, there's ...
Rob Mazurek's Starlicker: Double Demon

by Nic Jones
Starlicker is a trio which crosses the genres with ease and a healthy disregard for categorization. Cornetist Rob Mazurek is one of those musicians more preoccupied with the future of improvised music than with its glorious past.
