Saxophonist Tim Berne farms out some of his music—oddly, since, considering his work with his groups Blood Count, Big Satan and Snakeoil, etc., his original compositions could be considered some of the least coverable sounds out there.

Gordon Grdina, Milton Man Gogh, & Jungle Debris

Read "Gordon Grdina, Milton Man Gogh, & Jungle Debris" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


Vancouver guitarist and oud specialist Gordon Grdina decided starting his own label—Attaboygirl—was a necessary direction in which to head; he's released two very different recordings to start: the all solo, Pendulum, and Kloski with his quartet Square Peg which includes Mat Maneri, Christian Lillinger and Shahzad Ismaily. The Australian trio, Milton Man Gogh, is back with ...
