by Mark Corroto
I have an alternative to the year end list. I prefer a “what I listened to most this past year" list. Even so, the discs below would likely make a “best of" list, but that's not my preference. These are discs (and the dreaded digital files) I kept on a heavy rotation. For instance, I am ...
Kārlis Auziņš Double Trio: Equilibrium Suite
by Mark Corroto
Latvian saxophonist Kārlis Auziņš would never, we can assume, claim that his Equilibrium Suite stands as the equal of John Coltrane's A Love Supreme (Impulse!, 1964). His reverence for Coltrane's seminal work is too deep. Still, listeners may find themselves drawing a natural connection--celebrating Auziņš's own modern spiritual statement, one forged with sincerity, originality and purpose. ...

Kuba: Laukumi
by Vitalijus Gailius
A long-forgotten gem of the Latvian music scene has finally returned. The band, known as Kuba, is an ambient/jazz-rock/post-rock/krautrock--or, in a nutshell, nu-jazz--collective formed in 2001 that quickly became one of the brightest stars on the local scene. In 2002, the band released their acclaimed debut album, 15 Episodes of Kuba (Microphone). Later, Kuba ...
