Evan Parker: Whitstable Solo
by John Eyles
Whitstable Solo is the first Evan Parker solo soprano saxophone recording since Lines Burnt in Light inaugurated his Psi label back in late 2001.

Greg Kelley: Flesh to Metal
by Gordon Marshall
Boston trumpeter Greg Kelley takes an atom and constructs a world out of it.
