Andrew Rathbun: Sculptures
by Dan McClenaghan
His last time out on Fresh Sound Records, saxophonist/composer Adnrew Rathbun stretched the jazz listening experience by incorporating the writing of his fellow Canadian, Margaret Atwood, into his genre-bending CD, True Stories.

Richard Moore: Now What Now
by Dan McClenaghan
Dark Ruminations, tintinnabulations, wails and groans, squeaks and moans, washes of menacing background noise--an existential sountrack for a burgeoning century.

So says Moore, on his slow-burning new-millennium rant ...
Ron Miles: Heaven
by Dan McClenaghan
Simply put: Trumpet and guitar. Horn man Ron Miles tries a duet this time out, and he picked his partner well: the high-profile and hugely talented Bill Frisell Heaven is a delicately rendered set of songs, highlighting the strengths of the two players. Ron Miles has a breathy, very lyrical approach to the trumpet; ...

Nothing earthshaking here...But it's done on this Moodsville, with such style and reverence, with a distinct muscular-toned tenor flavor.The three rhythm guys on the disc--Mulgrew ...
maroon: Migratory
by Dan McClenaghan
Think back to the time you heard a song out of the blue--on the radio, say, or at a friend's at a wee hours listening session--that sounded so fresh and new that it stunned you.
