Sferos: Set It Up As Silence

Read "Set It Up As Silence" reviewed by Jerome Wilson


Sferos is a trio of New York-based musicians--guitarist Juanma Trujillo, drummer Dayeon Seok and saxophonist Hery Paz. Their music is a blend of atmospheric textures and jazz-rock energy that bears a slight resemblance to the work of experimental guitarists like Terje Rypdal and David Torn but, at its best, has its own unique sound.

Joe Policastro Trio: Nothing Here Belongs

Read "Nothing Here Belongs" reviewed by Jerome Wilson


The Joe Policastro Trio is a working band that has been playing together in Chicago area clubs for almost ten years.

Marc Jufer Trio: Trip To The Center

Read "Trip To The Center" reviewed by Jerome Wilson


Marc Jufer is a Swiss saxophonist who has worked in a variety of formats. Here he leads a trio with a fire-breathing rhythm section of bassist Lisa Hoppe and drummer Devin Gray.

Romain Collin: Tiny Lights...

Read "Tiny Lights..." reviewed by Jerome Wilson


Romain Collin is a young pianist whose previous recordings have shown an affinity for electronic textures and minimalism. This release expands on those ideas.
