Eyal Maoz - Asaf Sirkis: The Lie Detectors Part III - Secret Unit

By GLENN ASTARITA

New York-based guitarist Eyal Maoz (John Zorn, Lou Reed) and London-based drummer Asaf Sirkis (Markus Reuter, Mark Wingfield) are childhood friends, hailing from Rehovot, Israel.

Hypercolor: Hypercolor

By DAVE WAYNE

The past few months have seen a stream of truly--and in some cases mind-bogglingly--wonderful guitar-centric power trio albums. Yet, the eponymous debut of the Brooklyn-based avant-jazz-rock band Hypercolor stands out, but not for the reasons you'd think.

By DAN BILAWSKY

Yoni Kretzmer 66 Boxes: Graceless

By EYAL HAREUVENI

Israeli, New York-based tenor saxophonist Yoni Kretzmer returns on Graceless to an old passion of his--writing music that attempts to bridge the forward-thinking jazz from the school of sax heroes Tim Berne, Ellery Eskelin, and European jazz with elements from contemporary chamber music. Kretzmer's debut album as a leader, Yoni Kretzmer's New Dilemma (Earsay, 2009) focused ...

Tim Berne’s Snakeoil al Bologna Jazz Festival

By LIBERO FARNè

Tim Berne's Snakeoil Torrione Jazz Club Bologna Jazz Festival Ferrara 28.10.2013 Ogni grande musicista in età matura non può che ripetere se stesso, ribadendo le originali forme espressive maturate in decenni; c'è però chi si adagia su una routine autocelebrativa, e rassicurante per le orecchie dei fan, e chi ...
