The track is “Enter Here," and the album is ...

The Jeff Gauthier Goatette: Open Source

Read "Open Source" reviewed by Ian Patterson

Goatette continues its near twenty-year journey into territory ranging from avant-garde and sci-fi soundscapes, and deep funk grooves colored by searing electric guitar, to an altogether more pastoral melodicism reminiscent of the Mahavishnu Orchestra at ...

Michel Portal: Bailador

Read "Bailador" reviewed by Charles Walker

Pe'z: 1.2.MAX

Read "1.2.MAX" reviewed by Ian Patterson


As the title of Pe'z's 1. 2. MAX reflects, the adrenalin kicks in quickly and doesn't let up. This five-piece band from Japan, which has been together for ten years, purveys a brand of high energy, groove-based anarcho-jazz which takes jazz- funk, ska and the irreverence of punk as its references.

Bojan Z: Stranger Sounds

Did a B-52 full of Fender Rhodes really crash near a small Serbian village a quarter of a century ago? What's a Steinway full of holes doing at a jazz festival? What is the connection between Jim Hall and the Dixie Chicks? And just who would pay $6,000 for a bottle of wine? European Jazz Artist ...
