Joel Harrison: Spirit House
by Blaine Fallis
Spirit House is a Joel Harrison original! Original compositions, ideas, instrumentations, and grooves. While jazz sometimes repeats itself (in style, instrumentation, or choice of songs etc.), Harrison creates completely new music worth listening to, “repeatedly." I say this because he wrote the music “specifically for this unique group of individuals," using electric guitar with ...
Giancarlo Tossani Synapser + Alessi: Newswok
by Dave Wayne
Wonders never cease. When Newswok first arrived in the mail, my first question was not “What the hell does 'Newswok' mean?" It was “Who is Giancarlo Tossani, and why is Ralph Alessi playing with him?" I was also alarmed that I had never heard of the record label, Auand Records, before. This despite the fact that ...
Rhythm Method: By The Bye
by Ian Patterson
Rhythm Method--a quintet of some of Dublin's finest contemporary musicians--was founded by guitarist Shane Latimer and bassist Cormac O'Brien in 2009. Trumpeter Bill Blackmore, Rhodes keyboardist Darragh O'Kelly and Latimer form a probing three-pronged front-line, with O'Brien and drummer Shane O'Donavan plying lithe grooves.

by Vincenzo Roggero
Tributo elettroacustico a Duke Ellington e Billy Strayhorn, recita il comunicato stampa per il lancio di That The Days Go By and Never Come Again, album licenziato a nome Indigo Mist. Ci sarebbe da arricciare il naso vista la valanga di operazioni simili che ormai inflazionano da anni mercato discografico e rassegne nazionali, ma se a ...
