Catching Up With Gary Husband
by Ian Patterson
Gary Husband has wind in his sails these days.

by Ian Patterson

Several threads tie the two records together. Many of the ...
Jenny Scheinman: Mischief and Mayhem
by Ian Patterson
The title of violinist Jenny Scheinman's sixth album as leader tells much of, but not the whole story. Playful and daring, with memorable melodies rubbing shoulders with arresting improvisations, there's an irresistible freshness and vigor about the music. However, there are more layers to peel away, and great subtlety and lyricism reveal themselves upon each subsequent ...

Saxophonist Steve Coleman Interviewed at All About Jazz!
Saxophonist Steve Coleman's The Mancy of Sound (Pi Recordings, 2011) was one of the records of 2011. Thematically and structurally challenging on the one hand, dynamic and funky on the other, the music's contrasts reflect Coleman's view of the world, in all its complexity and simplicity. Coleman's fierce intellect carries simple logic, wrapped in many-layered waves ...
