Christopher Zuar Orchestra: Musings

Read "Musings" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Esordio discografico per il ventinovenne newyorchese Christopher Zuar, nato trombettista ma ormai dedito alla composizione e all'arrangiamento, che infatti pratica in questo lavoro che lo vede alla direzione di un'orchestra di diciassette elementi, che arrivano a diciannove in alcune tracce con l'ingresso di percussioni e voce. Il lavoro è tutto sommato convenzionale, tipico di ...

Shirantha Beddage: Momentum

Read "Momentum" reviewed by Dave Wayne

One thing he has going on is composing music for the FX television series Fargo. Still, it's kind ...

Eden Bareket Trio: Choice

Read "Choice" reviewed by Dave Wayne


Baritone saxophone specialists, like their soprano-playing counterparts, seem a breed apart from their “normal" alto-and tenor- playing brethren.

If Choice by Argentinian bari-specialist ...

Read "The Deep Below" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


With his sixth release as a leader The Deep Below, low reedman Brian Landrus continues to explore the bottom octaves of woodwind registers with his characteristic elegance and captivating charm. What sets this album apart from its predecessors is the sparseness of its setting. Backed only by bass and drums, Landrus places his various ...
