Read "The River" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers
April 11, 2025

To enhance his musical excursion along The River, composer, arranger and pianist Silvano Monasterios invited eight talented companions on board to share the ride. He did not make it easy for them.

by Maurice Hogue
November 11, 2024

He turned to musicians he has great familiarity with--pianist Satoko Fujii, trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith and drummer Tiziano Tononi--to create a tribute to Wadada, his former teacher and mentor. This is uncompromising music. There are several new albums by saxophonists in this edition that ...
