Ingrid Laubrock: Anti-House
by Nic Jones
Ingrid Laubrock's trajectory through the music reflects her choice of home. German-born, when she resided in London she was producing Latin jazz, but that proved to be only a passing phase.

In a 2008 interview following the release of the group's debut album on Intakt Records, Ingrid Laubrock articulates Sleepthief's sound: “There's a mysterious, dreamlike feel to some of the music—and also you can be torn right out of it. But in a wholly improvised situation it's not only your own imagination, ears, taste buds and emotions ...
Tom Rainey Trio: Pool School
by Chris May
Though there are more substantial things to observe about Brooklyn-based drummer Tom Rainey's Pool School, let's start by saying that the disc's hand-tinted, faux 1930s cover art is among the more stylish to have emerged so far in 2010.
