Vijay Iyer & Wadada Leo Smith: A Cosmic Rhythm With Each Stroke
by Karl Ackermann
In the liner notes for A Cosmic Rhythm With Each Stroke, pianist Vijay Iyer notes that he and trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith would often become a sub-segment of the quartet in which the two played.

Slivovitz: All You Can Eat
by Dave Wayne
Freely grabbing inspiration from all manner of styles, the Neapolitan band Slivovitz functions as a high- efficiency musical omnivore, digesting and reworking different aspects of seemingly disparate raw materials into a seamless, organic whole. All You Can Eat, an appropriate title for the band's fourth long player (and their third for MoonJune), doesn't appear to be ...

A culturally improbable collaboration of Brazilian, Portuguese, and Belgian musicians, the Ifa y Xango Tentet is easily one of the most adventurous large ensembles operating anywhere in the world today. Co-operative in nature, and playing entirely their own original compositions, the group's vision, as captured on Twice Left Handed / Shavings encompasses jazz, rock, post-rock, doom ...
Enrico Rava Quartet with Gianluca Petrella: Wild Dance
by Giuseppe Segala
Lo smalto di Enrico Rava resta inossidabile. Alimenta anzi la propria forza con l'incontro di nuovi musicisti, che il trombettista inserisce con il proverbiale fiuto nel suo scenario artistico. In questo Wild Dance è in azione il nuovo quartetto, forte di giovani nomi di alto interesse come il chitarrista Francesco Diodati, il contrabbassista Gabriele Evangelista, già ...
Folklore and classicism from ECM: Dino Saluzzi's piano music & The Gurdjieff Folk Instruments Ensemble
