Anna Webber: Shimmer Wince
by John Sharpe
There is often an underlying rigor to the work of Canadian saxophonist and flautist Anna Webber, be that inspiration from the digital world on Binary (Skirl, 2016), her investigation of multiphonic intervals on Idiom (Pi, 2021) or contemporary classical percussion repertoire on Clockwise (Pi, 2020).

Fima Ephron: Hasidic Folk Song
by Mike Jacobs
Though it lacks many of the fascinating David Torn-produced, sonic manipulations strewn throughout Soul Machine (Tzadik, 2001), “Hasidic Folk Song" is emblematic of the ethno-electric-jazz explorations on bassist Fima Ephron's debut as a leader and a sizzler to boot. The track features Ephron's former Lost Tribe cohorts Adam Rogers and David Binney, as well as Edward ...
