Louis Stewart: Joyce Notes
by Ian Patterson
Few books have provoked such acclaim and disdain as Ulysses (1922), James Joyce's dense and dazzling opus. Banned in the UK, subject to an obscenity trial in the USA, scrutinized, vilified and glorified, it has inspired and baffled in equal measure. Its experimental stream-of-consciousness style--liberally laced with puns and mordant humor--has proven a literary ...

Roberto Bonati Madriperla Trio: Parfois la nuit
by Ian Patterson
Nighttime provides the seed of inspiration for Roberto Bonati on Parfois La Nuit. A poem, rendered in French in the album's inner sleeve, speaks to its inherent beauty and impenetrability--its colors and shades, the contrasting emotions it provokes. Through the ages, the night has inspired poetry of romantic, gothic, and philosophical hues. A little of all ...
Harold López-Nussa at Whale Theatre
by Ian Patterson
Harold López-Nussa Whale Theatre 25th Bray Jazz Festival Greystones, Ireland May 01, 2026 Whilst many of the ancient Irish traditions associated with May Day have waned, the time-honored custom of gathering with friends to make merry on first day of summer never loses its appeal. And so, the pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes of ...
Naïssam Jalal: Landscapes of Eternity
by Ian Patterson
It is impossible to spend any significant amount of time travelling in India without being affected by both its beauty and its poverty. The contrasts between the choking, sprawling metropolises and the river-crossed countryside--with its emerald rice fields and stepped tea plantations--are striking. So too is the chasm between deeply embedded spirituality and the cruel caste ...
Raphaël Pannier & Khadim Niang: Sabar Jazz, An Historic Summit
by Ian Patterson
"Once you have made a decision," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson, “the universe conspires to make it happen." French drummer Raphaël Pannier may concur, though as a footnote he might also stress the amount of sweat sometimes required to realize one's biggest dreams. Live In Saint Louis, Senegal, a collaboration between Raphaël Pannier Quartet and ...
Hilarious Disasters: Unnatural Root
by Ian Patterson
You can take the gal out of Ukraine, but you cannot take Ukraine out of the gal. Kateryna Ziabliuk may pursue her music in Poland these days, but with Unnatural Root, the debut album of her group Hilarious Disasters, Ziabliuk draws deeply from her Ukrainian traditions. The Kyiv-born pianist, composer and journalist--she co-founded the jazz portal ...

Kristijan Krajnčan Quartet: Honey Sparks In The Dark
by Ian Patterson
The hit of honey on tastebuds and the met gaze of a homeless man may seem like curious seeds of inspiration for an album, but Kristijan Krajnčan is no run-of-the-mill artist. A double threat as a virtuoso cellist and drummer, Krajnčan is also a filmmaker and soundtrack composer. What perhaps best defines his artistry is an ...
Airelle Besson & Lionel Suarez: Blossom
by Ian Patterson
Trumpet-accordion duos are rare enough to be filed under 'endangered species,' so infrequent are sightings. Dave Douglas and Guy Klucevsek broke cover with a number of duets on the quartet album Charms of the Night Sky (Winter & Winter, 1998), but it was another quarter of a century before the population doubled with the appearance of ...
