Spring Roll: Episodes
by John Sharpe
French flautist Sylvaine Hélary's Spring Roll follow up their ambitious debut Printemps (Ayler, 2015) with another adventurous outing on Episodes.

by Martin Longley
Colonic Youth Trans-Pecos December 22, 2014 In the wintry wasteland, the new-ish Trans-Pecos venue did not seem to boast a particularly peachy set-up. It may or may not still be operated by Todd P, normally known as a promoter of slightly swerved rock outfits, and there were tales of this ...

Dan Blake: The Aquarian Suite
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'iniziale “The Whistler" ha tutte le carte in regola per essere il classico brano di presentazione di un brillante quartetto neo bop, con tromba e sax che all'unisono si muovono eleganti sul ritmo elastico di contrabbasso e batteria.
