But he retains a special fondness for the bass/piano twosome, accounting for multiple meetings with longtime comrade ...
JD Parran and Mark Deutsch, Daniel Carter, & Irreversible Entanglements
by Maurice Hogue
California Street Sessions, a new duo recording by reed master JD Parran and bassist Mark Deutsch, is intriguing, particularly when consider the instrumentation: Parran plays a seldom-heard contralto clarinet while Deutsch plays the bazantar, a hybrid bass that he invented himself.

by Chris May

Now, after three albums with the on-song but tiny International Anthem label, it has happened and, hopefully, greater exposure and recognition will follow. IE came ...
Luis Vicente 4tet: House In The Valley
by John Sharpe
Portuguese trumpeter Luis Vicente wrote the four compositions which make up House In The Valley during lockdown.

In particular the way ...
