An early, sure-fire contender for the tops-of-twenty-three list barrage, In Real Time is ...

Gordon Grdina Septet: Resist

by Mike Jurkovic
June 28, 2020

It takes a leap of unconditional faith to enter wholly the resistance. A mindset steadied for the long haul, readied for the next. On his third, integral, must-listen-to release of 2020, Canadian oudist/guitarist/composer Gordon Grdina grandly, darkly, intently, espouses all that and more. Hellbent on creating art as a political act, the sprawling, at times majestic ...
