Susanna Risberg: Bold As Love
by Ian Patterson
Listen to Susanna Risberg playing and it doesn't take long to realize that the twenty-eight-year-old Swedish guitarist is a bit special. Despite her relatively young years Risberg has been gigging for fifteen years already, turning more than a few heads along the way with a style that is unflashy yet exciting, technically impressive yet emotionally keen. ...
Frank Martino
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Dawn of Midi, Dysnomia, (Erased Tapes Records, 2015). Il piano trio più particolare che abbia sentito negli ultimi tempi: il disco è un flusso continuo e ossessivo di frasi ripetute ciclicamente e sezioni che si sovrappongono. Difficile definirlo in modo chiaro. Sembra di ascoltare la musica di Jon Hopkins suonata in formazione acustica ...

Jazz in 1's and 0's
by Jeff Fitzgerald, Genius
If one were to happen by the GeniusDome, providing you could navigate the gauntlet of traps and snares leading to the door and pass muster by my parakeet Al Neri, you'd be greeted warmly and welcomed into my inner sanctum. You'd notice a veritable forest of guitars, an inexplicable collection of hot sauces and Barbecue sauces, ...
Donny McCaslin Live at BIMHUIS, Amsterdam
by BIMHUIS
As the bandleader on David Bowie's final album Blackstar, saxophonist Donny McCaslin witnessed first-hand the musician's penchant for reinvention. McCaslin applied that mindset to his new album Blow, which combines his propulsive saxophone playing with vibrant electronica and bombastic alternative rock, and which contains influences of jazz as well as from the likes of Radiohead and ...
Rent Romus' Life's Blood Ensemble: Rogue Star
by Glenn Astarita
Experimental San Francisco Bay Area record label Edgetone Records states, this band “reflects the influences which make up their collective interest in storytelling, exploring expanded borders, and discovery." No doubt, this red hot ensemble doesn't stay content following a one-dimensional musical path, as they branch out on a recurring basis via these fluid and manifold works. ...

12 Points 2018 The Sugar Club Dublin, Ireland September 5-8, 2018 Returning to its spiritual home of Dublin after back-to-back editions in San Sebastian and Aarhus, 12 Points 2018 marks one of the highpoints of the Irish musical year. Its appeal lies not just in the fact that it brings ...
Donny McCaslin: Blow
by Roger Farbey
At first listen, Blow sounds more like a rock album than a jazz one. The catchy “What About The Body" could arguably be mistaken for one of King Crimson's more vituperative numbers featuring Adrian Belew. Ryan Dahle's emotionally-charged vocals are equally at the forefront of the explosive “Club Kidd." But the selection also includes three instrumental ...
