Ingebrigt Håker Flaten (Exit) Knarr: Breezy
by Rob Garratt
When news of Jaimie Branch's passing broke in 2022, there was an understandably huge outpouring of tributes from different corners of the jazz community. While an eternal punk rocker at heart, Branch was also a distinctly millennial musician, and a fitting figurehead for the recent wave of borderless improvised music that came out of Chicago's International ...

A Brief Guide To Lebanese Jazz
by Ian Patterson
Lebanon is known for many things--its lush valleys, a fertile coastal plain and a 170 km-long mountain range carpeted with cedar, oak and pine. Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon, Tyre, Byblos and Baalbek--its cities' names resonate with history's vibrations. These are cities that have borne more history than most. It is a country renowned for its ...
Dhruv: Voyage 2
by Ian Patterson
Nine years after the genre-busting Voyage (Wah Wah Records, 2015), Indian guitar/composer Dhruv Ghanekar returns with the second leg of his ongoing journey of musical discovery. Not that Ghanekar has been idle in the interim, with compositional credits to soundtracks for a host of films and documentaries. Still, it feels like too long a wait between ...
Souvik Dutta: 20 Years of Abstract Logix

If you are a music lover, you may already know the name Souvik (pronounced show-vik) Dutta.

The title itself is revealing. A clever play on words of the old '60s sci-fi show Lost in Space, it immediately suggests an irreverent wit and slightly twisted perspective; qualities that also permeate the unique music of prolific Michigan-based composer Gregg Hill. How this fairly obscure presence on the national music scene has managed ...

by Mario Calvitti
Lo sfruttamento dell'immenso, e apparentemente inesauribile, archivio zappiano procede al ritmo di 3-4 pubblicazioni all'anno, alternando riedizioni di album storici (le “50th anniversary edition" arricchite di nuovi contenuti) e dischi contenenti materiale inedito dal vivo o in studio, recuperato tra gli innumerevoli nastri accumulati da Frank Zappa durante gli anni di attività. Questa ...
Feats Don't Fail Me Now (Deluxe Edition) (3CD)
by Doug Collette
Inside the twenty-page booklet enclosed within the Feats Don't Fail Me Now (Deluxe Edition), an erudite essay by esteemed author/biographer Dennis McNally gives due recognition to artist Neon Park's outlandish front cover image for Little Feat's fourth longplayer. As with the other imagery of this artist that adorns the group's various longplayers, it is a thought-provoking ...
