Morten Schantz Trio: Passenger
by Ian Patterson
It might be tempting to view Morten Schantz's Passenger as a lockdown album, recorded as it was during those strange times of isolation, but the music can perhaps better be understood as the culmination of personal and musical growth stretching back over more than two decades. Schantz first led a piano trio whilst still ...
Francesca Han & Ralph Alessi: Exude
by Ian Patterson
The first duo recording from pianist Francesca Han and trumpeter Ralph Alessi has been a while coming, the pair first having met in New York in 2011.

John Scofield Inside Scofield I'm Filming Productions 2022 “I've been lucky," says John Scofield, two thirds of the way through Joerg Steineck's documentary on the guitarist. “I've been in the right place at the right time, and I've also made good use of the luck that was handed to me."
Kristijan Krajnčan: Zabučale Gore: The Mountains Roared
by Ian Patterson

Paolo Angeli: Rade
by Ian Patterson
Sardinia is never far from Paolo Angeli's heart and mind. In a storied career, the Italian guitarist has often drawn inspiration from his island's landscapes, soundscapes, culture and history, notably on albums such as S'û (ReR Megacorp, 2015) and Jar'a (ReR Megacorp, 2021). Even on 22.22 Free Radiohead (ReR Megacorp, 2019), his highly original tribute to ...

by Ian Patterson
Roamer is vocalist Lauren Kinsella, drummer Matthew Jacobson, bassist/guitarist Simon Jermyn and saxophonist/flautist Matthew Halpin--four of Ireland's most lauded creative musicians.
