Yo-Yo Ma / Stuart Duncan / Edgar Meyer / Chris Thile: The Goat Rodeo Sessions
by Lawrence Peryer
The Goat Rodeo Sessions is the perhaps not-so-unlikely collaboration between mandolinist Chris Thile, bassist Edgar Meyer, fiddle player Stuart Duncan and ubiquitous cellist Yo-Yo Ma. These four master musicians have together made some of the most lyrical and captivating music of 2011. As expected, the playing is superlative. The compositions were born of ...

An eclectic band supports Kirchner, conspicuously present ...

Chet Doxas: Big Sky
by John Kelman
As much as a recent Ottawa, Canada performance was an intimate opportunity for local fans to see John Abercrombie, it was equally noteworthy for the two brothers who brought the veteran guitarist and bassist John Menegon, both from Upstate New York, for a short tour of Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa and Montreal. Saxophonist Chet Doxas and drummer ...
Bob Dylan: The Bard Of Jazz
by Dan Bilawsky
Jazz and rock audiences, at their core, often expect two very different things when they attend a live performance. Jazz audiences thrive on the journey and in-the-moment magic that's created as a one-time-only occurrence, through a partially improvised art. Rock audiences, by and large, prefer to hear it like it sounds on the record. Jazz artists ...
Theo Bleckmann: I Dwell In Possibility
by Dan Bilawsky
The title of this record also defines vocalist Theo Bleckmann's artistic philosophy. Bleckmann is probably the only human being to ever properly interpret the music of Kate Bush and the compositions of Charles Ives, and his range as an artist doesn't stop there. Bleckmann's Winter & Winter albums, along with successful side projects, have earned him ...
Dan Weiss: The Creative Absence of Egotism
by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.
The first time drummer/composer Dan Weiss is heard, there can be a perception of something inherently wrong with the music.

Charles Ives: A Radical In a Suit and Tie
by Nic Jones
Rescued from the archives, A Radical In a Suit and Tie represents the premiere recordings of Charles Ives's best-known works from the mid-20th Century; composed approximately half a century before that, this music has lost little of its singular impact, which says much about Ives' musical vocabulary. It's not difficult to see how this music influenced ...
