Petr Kotik: Beyond Race, Beyond Genre, There’s Music

Read "Petr Kotik: Beyond Race, Beyond Genre, There’s Music" reviewed by Kurt Gottschalk


Petr Kotik has walked among giants. To the extent that he is recognized in New York City, where he has made his home for 41 years, it is as an associate of John Cage and Morton Feldman with an apparent fixation on Gertrude Stein. In his Czech homeland, he is held in higher esteem--in part, arguably, ...

The Worlds of Ignaz Schick

Read "The Worlds of Ignaz Schick" reviewed by Mark Corroto


It may be a bit of hyperbole to call Ignaz Schick a Renaissance man.

Formalmente il precedente album da leader di Sara Caswell risale al 2005 (But Beautiful, Arbors) ma questa nuova incisione a suo nome non è il ritorno dopo una lunga pausa.

Rich Halley: Fire Within

Read "Fire Within" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


The name of free form saxophonist and raconteur Rich Halley may not roll off the tongue or be a secret G7 password, but he sure kicks up a lot of dust. Put him in the same room as piano slaying Matthew Shipp, bassist Michael Bisio, and drummer Newman Taylor Baker and rest assured all hell will ...
