"Everybody wants to play with Zakir. He's amazing..."

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.

As chance would have it, each of the mentioned heavyweights were also mainly at ...
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. Or don't. Either/or, it's a spilling energy not unlike the frisson encounters ...
