Paul Bley Quintet: Barrage
by Jerry D'Souza

Lowell Davidson: Trio
by Lyn Horton
The seamless blending of musicians is often rare, especially in the instance of improvisation, because inherent in the situation is the heightened responsiveness of the musicians to each other. In the re-released 1965 recording entitled Trio, from the late pianist Lowell Davidson with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Milford Graves, the interaction among musicians ...
Totem>: Solar Forge
by John Sharpe
The significance of the “>“ sign in the group's name is unclear, but if it was taken to suggest that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts then few would argue. With components like Brooklyn-based guitarist Bruce Eisenbeil, bassist Tom Blancarte and drummer Andrew Drury, the result is certain to bear scant resemblance ...

Chris Speed / Chris Cheek / Stephane Furic Leibovici: Jugendstil
by Jerry D'Souza
Double-bassist Stephane Furic Leibovici avers that he likes to be gentle with sounds and to listen to the inside of them. He is true to this philosophy on Jugendstil, where he finds solace in the quiet and the meditative; getting inspiration from classical and chamber music and using them to the full in his writing.
Charles Manson: Lie: The Love and Terror Cult
by Raul d'Gama Rose
It is quite surreal to handle a copy of Lie: The Love and Terror Cult, and certainly a very bizarre feeling to know that someone so twisted as Charles Manson and his cult, The Family, were the artists behind it all. Still, no matter how outrageous it appears, artists they are--albeit questionable ones. Or are they...? ...
