Jonathan Bratoeff: Points Of Perception
by Chris May
London-based guitarist Jonathan Bratoeff's Between Lines (F-IRE, 2005) was a collection of edgy small group improvisations which delivered plenty and promised more. The recording placed Bratoeff's classically rooted but adventurous electric guitar--somewhere out of Jimmy Raney, heading in a more abstract direction--alongside the leaders of Acoustic Ladyland and Polar Bear, respectively: Pete Wareham (tenor saxophone) and ...
Oriole: Migration
by Chris May
An enchanting followup to Song For The Sleeping, Oriole's 2005 debut album, Migration finds guitarist Jonny Phillips' band once again blending exploratory, modern jazz improvisation with world music-inspired original compositions and unusual cross-cultural instrumentation.

Electronica is increasingly being explored by F-IRE artists, but mainly in creative jazz contexts. This debut from the Ezzthetic quartet is a new strand: ...

The album also serves up a heap of new material, most of it from CDs ...

Sometimes they point south towards real or supposed roots and authenticities, sometimes north towards the European conservatoire, sometimes east and sometimes west. Rarely does the rocket travel in two directions simultaneously. Robert Mitchell's vision, unusually, is omni-directional. He is as involved with African and ...
