In the 1980s, Austrian guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel ...
Klaus Gesing: Heartluggage
by John Kelman
Sometimes a musician's associations are so high profile that it's easy to overlook his own work as a leader. Seeming to appear out of nowhere on British vocal legend Norma Winstone's sublime Distances (ECM, 2008) and Tunisian oudist Anouar Brahem's equally chamber-centric The Astounding Eyes of Rita (ECM, 2009), Klaus Gesing is, in fact, an established ...

Her exile is less political than driven by more basic human needs, and her openness to all cultures and a brighter future shines through ...
Gilad Atzmon: In Loving Memory of America

The album's title refers to an imagined land--the country that Atzmon envisaged when, as a 17 year-old ...
