Thomas Hass: Trio's & Beyond Lotus Energy
by Chris Mosey
The packaging starts you thinking. There's a painting showing what looks like ectoplasm, or perhaps a space alien, playing two musical instruments at the same time, like Roland Kirk used to do. Then the cunning addition of an apostrophe in the Trios of the title, to render it meaningless, or perhaps abstract. Inside ...

Simon Toldam Trio: Kig Op 14
by Jakob Baekgaard
Music is a sensory art. Hands touching the keyboard, bass strings that are plucked and the rustling of cymbals. Sounds form patterns and familiar sounds become clichés and then the trouble starts. The immediacy of the first movement, that first touch is lost. In a sense, every musician battles this process that dulls the listener's senses ...
Pierre Dorge and New Jungle Orchestra: Tjak Tjaka Tchicai
by Maurizio Zerbo
Gli appassionati del jazz orchestrale non si lasceranno certamente sfuggire questo CD, che Pierre Dorge dedica al sodale John Tchicai scomparso nel 2013.

Nils Davidsen: Noget at glæde sig til
by Alberto Bazzurro
Quarantotto anni, danese, il contrabbassista Nils Bosse Davidsen ha deciso nel corso del 2013 di raccogliersi fra sé e sé e dare alla luce una serie di solo performances che lo vedono misurarsi sia con lo strumento puro e semplice (sette brani) sia con sovraincisioni varie (i restanti quattro). Maestro in particolare dell'archetto, ...

Kristin Korb: Finding Home
by Dan Bilawsky

On Finding Home, bassist-vocalist Kristin Korb explores the journey and process that brought her to such a place in her life. Korb, who grew up in Montana, ...
Ingrid Hagel: Tharapita
by Budd Kopman
Tharapita is a delightful recording that ultimately beguiles the listener through its emotional outlook and sheer gorgeous sound. Ingrid Hagel hails from Estonia and, as she states on her site, “Tharapita" is the name of a thirteenth-century northern Estonian tribal god, which has been incorporated into the culture to “evoke the unity between man ...
