Ayelet Rose Gottlieb: Internal/External
by Celeste Sunderland
Fairytales and myths abound with characters like vocalist Ayelet Rose Gottlieb. One recent night the tiny being took the stage at Cornelia Street Café. Dressed in filmy black attire, with a purple beaded, net kerchief wrapped around her cascading dark hair, she resembled a midnight mermaid glittering with dew from the sea. Upon ...
Jeremy Steig
by Celeste Sunderland
Artist/flutist Jeremy Steig colored some drawings in a cozy corner of his apartment one night last month, when he spilled a jar of ink. Not a pleasant mess, especially with Frac, Steig's gigantic cat pawing around.

Jenny Scheinman: Shalagaster
by Celeste Sunderland
Jenny Scheinman’s third solo album, Shalagaster, shimmers with such an array of color that it could work quite nicely as the score to a silent film.

John Abercrombie Quartet Jazz Standard New York March 27, 2002
by Celeste Sunderland
Like wired up children engaged in riotous play, John Abercrombie’s compositions reach exuberant heights before descending slowly into somber themes. Comprised of tight, vibrant weaves, these tunes go way beyond the 280-thread count of fine bed linens, and it takes a well-tuned group of musicians to produce the full, luxurious effects of the music.Last Wednesday ...
