Simin Tander: No Looking Back
by Ian Patterson
When an album receives widespread critical acclaim, generating extensive touring in its wake, the temptation must be to repeat the formula next time around. Especially for artists operating in the niche world of jazz/improvised music, where a sure gig can be something of a holy grail, it would make little sense to fix what ain't broken. ...
Unscientific Italians: Play the Music of Bill Frisell Vol.1
by Mario Calvitti

Matty Stecks & Persiflage: Night Cravings
by Mike Jurkovic
Like sneaking into the boy's room for a smoke, bassist Dave Ambrosio intros both Night Cravings, the concept and title track, with a sinister ease, sparking a slow burning fuse that once lit, ain't going out until all in attendance damn well reach accord.
