Read "Live At The  Century City Playhouse – Los Angeles, 1979" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Bobby Bradford & John Carter Quintet: No U Turn: Live In Pasadena, 1975

Read "No U Turn: Live In Pasadena, 1975" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Read "Daunik Lazro and Henri Roger with Benjamin Duboc and Didier Lasserre" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


The French double bassist Benjamin Duboc and drummer Didier Lasserre have created together a unique, highly personal language. Their inventive and telepathic interplay can stir emotional storms produced with minimal, almost evasive elements and color any collaboration with vivid, spell-binding moods. Their latest improvised collaborations with baritone saxophonist Daunik Lazro and pianist Henri Roger demonstrate Duboc ...
