by Jeff Stockton
The picture on the back of the CD booklet for the Willem Breuker Kollektief's At Ruta Maya Café shows a low-lying, nondescript building that looks like an old Howard Johnson's.

Jewels and Binoculars: Ships With Tattooed Sails
by Jeff Stockton
Jewels and Binoculars takes its name from a line in one of Bob Dylan's songs, and the irony is it's the lyrics that tend to undermine the interpretations offered up by bassist Lindsey Horner, percussionist Michael Vatcher and reed player Michael Moore on Ships with Tattooed Sails. This is the third outing for this leaderless trio, ...

Belogenis/Downs/Morris: The Flow
by Jeff Stockton

Assif Tsahar / Cooper-Moore / Chad Taylor: Digital Primitives
by Jeff Stockton

Not that this band is in need ...
David S. Ware Quartet: Renunciation
by Jeff Stockton
Billed as the final US performance of the David S. Ware Quartet, Renunciation was recorded live at the 2006 Vision Festival and arrives as something like the final episode of The Sopranos: having been an important part of our lives for so long, fans hate to see them go. But deep down, we know it's time. ...
Billy Bang Quintet featuring Frank Lowe: Above & Beyond: An Evening in Grand Rapids
by Jeff Stockton
Few musicians in any category combine violinist Billy Bang's intrinsic understanding of his instrument's tradition with the adventurousness associated with the New York City loft scene of the 1970s and wrap it up in an inside-out style honed and refined over the course of a thirty-plus year career. For the last few years ...
