Andrew Hill: Solos - The Jazz Sessions
by Karl Ackermann
"My name is Andrew Hill--pianist." With humility characteristic of his long career in music, these words open Solos: The Jazz Sessions. Hill's avant-garde contemporaries like Cecil Taylor and Anthony Braxton often pushed the boundaries of their music in directly experimental and mathematical ways and the affect is sometimes intentionally discordant. Hill's unique ability was to embrace ...

Steve Hackett at Casino du Lac Leamy Theatre
by John Kelman
Steve Hackett Casino du Lac Leamy Théâtre Gatineau, Canada October 5, 2013 It might seem odd that the guitarist who left Genesis more than 35 years ago has ultimately become the only one to champion the music made during the group's years spent in the progressive rock arena, while those who ...
Griffith Hiltz Trio: This Is What You Get...
by Dan Bilawsky
This band may be a trio in body, but it's so much more in spirit and sound.

by Dan McClenaghan
An abandoned vintage perambulator--a pram--discovered on the streets of Toronto inspired the Canadian threesome to take as a name for their group the Pram Trio.

Griffith Hiltz Trio: This Is What You Get...
by Dan McClenaghan
Canada's Griffith Hiltz Trio opens its second album, This Is What You Get..., with “Strawman," which sounds like a cross between a theme song for a Secret Agent Man movie and crunchy guitar-style, 1960s-era surf rock, featuring saxophonist Johnny Griffith's crisp melody lines and drummer Sly Juhas' shuffling rhythm. Then guitarist Nathan Hiltz twangs toward an ...
