Joe Lovano: Joe Lovano - Bird Songs
by Jonathan Wertheim
Joe Lovano's Us Five debut, Folk Art (Blue Note, 2009), was a triumphantly energetic outing, filled with the sound of two drummers and running through a program of Lovano's originals. It was a highly personal and emphatic debut, and a great one too, but Bird Songs is important in completing the portrait of this ensemble.

Chris Crocco: The Chris Crocco Trio +
by Dan Bilawsky
What makes music fluid? Is it based on smooth transitions from section-to-section in each piece? The consistent flow of ideas from each individual artist involved in the music making process? The ability of a group to form a bond that allows them to travel along the same routes with simpatico sensibilities? The music of guitarist Chris ...
Javier Vercher: Wish You Were Here
by Enrique Turpin
Poco importa que Javier Vercher sea madrileño de nacimiento y valenciano de adopción. Defender un origen geográfico sólo tiene sentido si se está dispuesto a morir por él, y no creo que sea el caso del saxofonista, que bien pronto entendió que las fronteras que cabe preservar con la firmeza de las pasiones tienen que ver ...
