Alex Ward Trios & Sextet: Projected / Entities / Removal
by John Eyles
This release follows so hard on the heels of Glass Shelves and Floor (Copepod, 2015) by Alex Ward Quintet that it is tempting to see the two as a matched pair.

Veryan Weston / Ingrid Laubrock / Hannah Marshall: Haste
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Veryan Weston is one of the most creative musicians in recent times--or, perhaps, ancient times would be closer to the truth, for what is new emanates from the old and what is old gives birth to the new. Weston presides over this conundrum like a medieval apothecary concocting brilliant and powerful and magical potions that take ...
