Read "Manfred Eicher: ECM - Selected Signs III - VIII" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

When München's Haus der Kunst sponsored a nearly three-month exhibition about the ECM Records label, ECM: A Cultural Archeology, which ran from November, 2012 to February, 2013, there was far more to it than just bringing together collections of album covers, rarely seen video, archival tapes, imagery and concert performances.

Read "Malus" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Named musician of the year in the El Intruso 2013 critics poll, trumpeter Nate Wooley looks to be on a roll. That's in spite, or perhaps that should be because, of being so hard to pin down.

KonstruKt with Marshall Allen: Live At Sant’anna Aressi Jazz Festival
