Darius Jones: Man'ish Boy (A Raw & Beautiful Thing)

Read "Man'ish Boy (A Raw & Beautiful Thing)" reviewed by Lyn Horton

Cooper-Moore: The Cedar Box Recordings

Read "The Cedar Box Recordings" reviewed by Ted Gordon


Cooper-Moore, at first glance, can be compared to a savant subway musician: eccentric, obsessed with repeating melodic and rhythmic patterns, fast, passionate, eye-catching.

Cooper-Moore / Assif Tsahar / Chad Taylor: Digital Primitives

Read "Digital Primitives" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Take a touch of blues-edged funk, add some free jazz (of both the howling and Eastern-meditative varieties), a dash of African percussion and a sprinkling of didgeridoo, and you may (or may not) begin to get some idea of the musical gumbo served up by Cooper-Moore, Taylor and Tsahar on Digital Primitives.
