Greene/Silva/Friedman/Winter/Walker: Free Form Improvisation Ensemble
by Derek Taylor
Calendar dates and the inceptions of musical styles don’t always mix. When was the actual birth of bebop? When was the definitive beginning of fusion? Specific dates are not readily applicable to these historic milestones mainly because musical revolutions rarely transpire in strictly linear progressions. In the absence of absolute dates recordings are often assigned the ...

Frode Gjerstad Quartet: Ikosa Mura
by Derek Taylor
Saxophonist Frode Gjerstad has become increasingly prolific over the past few years thanks in part to the number of accolades he's managed to accumulate in both his native Norway and internationally.
