Ergo: As subtle as tomorrow
by Vic Albani
Ritengo la Cuneiform una delle migliori e intelligenti etichette musicali esistenti poiché, lavorando su territori spesso assai diversi fra loro, riesce regolarmente a evidenziare new forms e ricerche di spessore in molti lavori di artisti celebrati o meno.

by Angelo Leonardi

Henry Threadgill Ensemble Double Up: Old Locks and Irregular Verbs
by Giuseppe Segala
Il criterio dell'integrazione a coppie di strumenti omologhi o affini è uno degli aspetti che maggiormente caratterizzano la musica di Henry Threadgill.

Henry Threadgill Ensemble Double Up: Old Locks And Irregular Verbs
by Glenn Astarita
Here, one modern era jazz innovator pays homage to another modern era jazz innovator. The premise for this album is framed on Henry Threadgill's friendship and admiration to the late composer-conductor Butch Morris who cunningly established a new twist on large ensemble conduction processes.
