Convergence Quartet: Owl Jacket
by Stefano Merighi
Il sodalizio del Convergence Quartet, benchè saltuario, rimane vitale e convincente, come dimostra questo Owl Jacket, che offre un repertorio vario e ben strutturato, arrivando a toccare le corde di un lirismo accorato, come ad esempio nell'iniziale “Dogbe Na Wo Lo," vicina a certe cose del Don Cherry “folklorico." Una melodia curiosamente affine ...
Convergence Quartet: Owl Jacket
by John Sharpe
Owl Jacket forms the fourth release over a nine year period from the Convergence Quartet.

Dominic Lash: Opabinia
by John Sharpe
As British bassist Dominic Lash explains in the liners to his Quartet's debut Opabinia, both the album and several of the tracks on it are named after extinct creatures excavated as fossils from the Burgess Shale of British Columbia. That inspiration arises from both the fabulous nature of the animals and paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould's musings ...
Alexander Hawkins: Song Singular
by Karl Ackermann
The concurrent releases of pianist/composer Alexander Hawkins solo and ensemble recordings demonstrate the up-and-coming artist's exceptional range of compositional skills across dissimilar formats. The young Oxford, UK native has been a much sought after sideman, working with free jazz sax legend Evan Parker, saxophonist Joe McPhee and renowned South African drummer, Louis Moholo-Moholo.

Dominic Lash and Ricardo Tejero together
by John Eyles
Among a host of other activities too numerous to catalogue, bassist Dominic Lash and saxophonist / clarinetist Ricardo Tejero are both long-standing stalwarts of the London Improvisers Orchestra, so it was almost inevitable that they would gravitate towards each other in a smaller grouping at some point, as had happened with other LIO regulars. But, as ...
