Read "Miren (A Longing)" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Drummer/percussionist Ravish Momin has bragging rights to this Middle and Far Eastern style of thrusting progressive jazz. Funny, because it seems so natural and untainted, as if it was meant to be. And he doesn't need a bassist, largely due to his booming bass drum sound and polyrhythmic articulations. This trio covers many musical vistas on ...

Satoko Fujii Quartet: Bacchus

Read "Bacchus" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

You'll often hear jazz artists say that they don't like to call their music “jazz." The word, after all, is a label, and labels confine--if you take them seriously/and or let them. Pianist Satoko Fujii may or may not label her music (it's doubtful), but there are certainly no constraints on the sounds she makes.
