James Davis' Beveled: Arc and Edge

Read "Arc and Edge" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Trumpeter James Davis' sextet is aptly named Beveled--a word that means transforming a sharp, square edge into something smoother, more refined. That concept of reshaping and softening defines both the ensemble's instrumentation and its sonic character. Davis sets the tone by trading his bright trumpet for the warmer, more introspective voice of the flugelhorn. He deepens ...

James Davis' Beveled: Arc and Edge

Read "Arc and Edge" reviewed by Jack Bowers

Jon Irabagon: Server Farm

Read "Server Farm" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

"The times they are a-changin.'" Bob Dylan said that in 1964. He was right. In 2025, they are still changing, perhaps most notably with the emergence of artificial intelligence. That previously slow creep--outlined so accurately in Arthur C. Clarke's novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968, paired with Stanely Kubrick's movie of the same name--will build ...
