Janya: Janya
by Dan Bilawsky
Janya's sound is all about Korean-influenced music for the free jazz-loving soul.

Sir Roland Hanna: Colors From A Giant's Kit
by Dan Bilawsky
When an artist passes on, the true fans mourn and the record companies often search through their vaults to try to capitalize on their passing. This often results in hastily compiled collections of music, or the surfacing of sub-par recordings that weren't released for obvious reasons when the artist was still around. That's not the case ...

Christoph Siegrist: Welcome To The Blue World
by Dan Bilawsky
Trumpeter Christoph Siegrist's Blue World is not the world of the blues.

Siegrist's primary partner in crime is tenor saxophonist ...
Albert Vila: Tactile
by Dan Bilawsky
Barcelona-based guitarist Albert Vila doesn't buy into the idea of generic compositions that go down easy, but result in a hunger for more substantial aural nourishment.
