Tommaso Starace Quartet: Blood & Champagne
by Bruce Lindsay
Somewhere in a parallel universe far, far away Tommaso Starace is fêted as one of the finest saxophonists in contemporary jazz. It's the only way to explain why Starace remains so underrated on this little world. Blood & Champagne, his fourth album, should bring Planet Earth into line. Starace has a distinctive, hard-edged, tone and a ...
Part 18 - Seun Kuti talks about From Africa With Fury: Rise
by Chris May
Seun Kuti's From Africa With Fury: Rise, the follow-up to the ferocious Many Things (Tot Au Tard, 2008), is under starter's orders--and Afrobeat Diaries' sneak preview attests that it's a monster, a stone delight of epic proportions.

Nils Petter Molvaer: Colors, Noises and Moods
by Adriana Carcu
Trumpeter/composer Nils Petter Molvær is one of the main exponents of Nordic Jazz--a geographic ramification that has acquired, especially during the last decade, the status of an independent genre.

Brian Eno - Small Craft on a Milk Sea (2010)
By Nick DeRiso He's got a name that sounds like the future. So, naturally, you expect Brian Eno to be ever changing, on the move, eyes continually fixed on the horizon. That's why I was starting to hate Small Craft on a Milk Sea. Eno's new album opens with a crystalline piano line, echoing across a ...

Supersilent: 10
by John Kelman
At a time when Supersilent has kicked into high gear with three releases in the space of a few short months--two CDs (10 and the forthcoming 12) and one vinyl-only release (11), all on the equally intrepid Rune Grammofon label--it seems incredulous that this Norwegian improvising trio can continue creating music in defiance of easy (or ...
Islands (40th Anniversary Series)

With iconic progressive rock progenitor King Crimson's first batch of 40th Anniversary Series reissues, sole remaining co-founder, guitarist Robert Fripp--and, perhaps more importantly, Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson--embarked on a program that will, over the next couple years, bring Crimson's catalog into the 21st century, with double-disc reissues featuring (for the most part) brand new mixes in ...

The trials and tribulations of international travel--flight delays, missing or damaged baggage, and increasing limitations on said baggage--can be enough to frustrate even the most patient and seasoned world traveler. But despite an almost incredible confluence of problems flying to Kristiansand, Norway, for Punkt 2010, once there all such problems were forgotten. Punkt is simply too ...
