Marc Copland: Crosstalk

Read "Crosstalk" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Rather than form a longstanding band that can soak up his musical vision over a period of years, pianist Marc Copland thrives in a universe of rotating players that keeps things fresh and spontaneous. On his three outstanding New York Trio Recordings, Copland switched bassists (Gary Peacock, Drew Gress) and drummers (Paul Motian, Bill Stewart), versatile ...

Albatrosh: Mystery Orchestra with Grenager & Talfjord

Read "Mystery Orchestra with Grenager & Talfjord" reviewed by John Kelman
