OKO: I Love You Computer Mountain

Read "I Love You Computer Mountain" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

While pretty much all music is derivative, and to a greater or lesser degree inspired by what has gone before, every so often a band appears that shakes up the status quo. OKO--formed in 2010 out of the Dublin collective Bottleneck--certainly doesn't hide its influences on its debut recording, but its musical paint box of electronica, ...

Brad Mehldau: Dragons & Dreams

Read "Brad Mehldau: Dragons & Dreams" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

For many, pianist Brad Mehldau's recording Day is Done (Nonesuch Records, 2005) with drummer Jeff Ballard and bassist Larry Grenadier came as close to trio perfection as is reasonable to expect in your wildest dreams. Perhaps perfection is a chimera, yet even if attainable it's at best fleeting by nature. But for Mehldau that doesn't stop ...

Pierette Ensemble: Akrostik

Read "Akrostik" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

Strings, reeds, piano and percussion are the flesh and bones of this Danish-English sextet, co-led by saxophonist/flautist Julie Kjer and pianist Signe Bisgaard. The instrumentation, however, is secondary to the intent, for had the sextet assembled with objet trouvé instead, the results would likely have been equally arresting. The Pierette Ensemble's debut recording may stem from ...

Miles at the Fillmore - Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series Vol. 3

Read "Miles at the Fillmore - Miles Davis 1970: The Bootleg Series Vol. 3" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

It would have been inconceivable for Miles Davis in his post-sabbatical, 1980s reincarnation to have been billed as “an extra added attraction" on any festival or concert hall billing, but that's how it was when the trumpeter--already a legend--played his first ever gigs at the Filmore East, supporting Neil Young & Crazy Horse and the Steve ...
