Ingrid Laubrock: Ubatuba
by Karl Ackermann
It's hard to believe that German born saxophonist and composer Ingrid Laubrock has been recording since the late 1990s, perhaps because there is a distinct newness to every project she releases. Although she trained with Jean Toussaint in London for a short time and later with Dave Liebman, Laubrock is very much a self-made artist with ...

by Stefano Merighi
Il jazz di oggi è sicuramente policentrico, continuando in questo la sua stratificata tradizione. Sempre più spazio trovano artisti americani di origini diverse.

MOPDtK was founded by bassist Moppa Elliott and trumpeter Peter Evans who ...
