In The Country: Whiteout
by John Kelman
Terms like magnum opus can be dangerous, setting unrealistic expectations for the present and a precedent against which the future will always be measured. Whether or not this release represents a magnum opus is far too early to tell, but In The Country's Whiteout is certainly this Norwegian piano trio's most ambitious album to date, standing ...
James Carney Group: Ways & Means
by Matt Marshall
It's good to see the jazz community is not shying away from pressing political and social issues of the day. Guitarist Brad Shepik, with his Human Activity Suite (Songlines, 2009), and drummer Alex Cline, with Continuation (Cryptogramophone, 2009), have both made musical pleas for the environment in 2009, following in the socially conscious footsteps of Max ...

Warren Smith: Old News Borrowed Blues
by Raul d'Gama Rose
A record by Warren Smith--any record really--is cause for great celebration and Old News Borrowed Blues is no exception.
