Carl Maguire: Floriculture
by Donald Elfman
Here's a downtown jazz quartet that knows the patterns and traditions of the mainstream but has used it to create something quite different. Maguire's compositions are complicated and dense, but not inaccessible. Reflecting grooves, minimalism and a strong sense of melody, this music demands repeated listenings, if only due to the fact that the listener can't ...
Andrew Bishop: Time and Imaginary Time
by Donald Elfman
This recording is a free-form, freewheeling delight. It's new music from a piano-less group, but the spirit is so playful, the soundscapes are so simple and rich, and the playing is so accomplished and together, that this “dense" and “complicated" new music falls richly and beautifully on the ears. As a composer, Andrew ...

Bobby Previte: The Coalition of the Willing
by Donald Elfman
Bobby Previte's musical evolution has been most fascinating. The records he's made for a variety of labels show an astonishing scope but, amazingly, there has never really been a disconnect, even now playing “electronic" drums or instrumental rock music. Color and expression have always been paramount in Previte's output and his palette has always been directed ...
Solo Piano: From My Field; Solotude
by Donald Elfman
Both these solo piano discs have the feel of “recital" recordings by virtuosos, though the virtuosity is not about a lot of notes or about a fancy “look at me technique, but about telling stories at the keyboard. Adam Makowicz From My Field Self Published 2005 Adam Makowicz ...
