Mason Bates: Stereo Is King

Read "Stereo Is King" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Modern composer and electronics artist Mason Bates is equally comfortable in the worlds of new classical and hip hop. Working closely with the symphony orchestras of San Francisco and Chicago, he has been a driving force in escalating the role of electronics in the orchestra setting.

Phillip Blackburn: Music of Shadows

Read "Music of Shadows" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

Peter Kerlin Octet: Salamander

Read "Salamander" reviewed by Claudio Bonomi


Ormai la legge del crossover o della commistione tra generi regna sovrana. Se al jazz, ma la regola vale per qualsiasi genere, non si sommano almeno un paio di ritmi e sonorità presi da qualche altra fonte musicale si è decisamente fuori moda. A questa legge non sfugge nemmeno questo ottetto americano capitanato da ...

Awakening Orchestra: Vol. 1: This Is Not the Answer

Read "Vol. 1: This Is Not the Answer" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

The latter work--more jazz-operetta in orientation and prescribed in ...

Jason Kao Hwang / Ayman Fanous: Zilzal

Read "Zilzal" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


The music forged by Egyptian guitarist/bouzouki player Ayman Fanous and violinist/violist Jason Kao Hwang is alternately thoughtful, prickly, exasperating, mournful, and enchanting. It speaks to mysteries and histories, capturing and refracting the shared language, cross-cultural references, and mystic vibes that these two men have been cultivating and exploring together for fifteen years. “Zilzal" ...

Jason Kao Hwang / Ayman Fanous: Zilzal

Read "Zilzal" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


The duo release--Zilzal--further defines the evolution of two master musician/composers pursing the most imaginative alternatives to the status quo. In recent years, the inventive violinist/violist Jason Kao Hwang has been fully invested in exploring diverse compositional territories. His Burning Bridge octet is now firmly entrenched as a bellwether of genre-defying modern music with a distinct jazz ...

Peter Kerlin Octet: Salamander

Read "Salamander" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Brooklyn continues to build on its reputation as a breeding ground for some of the finest modern jazz in the Northeast. Bassist Peter Kerlin adds to that distinction with Salamander, an octet powered collection with a very unique structure that includes three basses, double vibraphones and a string trio.
