Piano Four-té: Keyboard Masters Delight On A Quartet of ECM Luminessence Vinyl Reissues

The Jazz West Coast Style of Music: An Introduction
by Steven Cerra

Brûlez les meubles: The Guitar and Bass Duo Who Threw Away the Script
by Lawrence Peryer
The name Brûlez les meubles carries a wry irony. While it literally means “burn the furniture" in English, the Québec duo playfully inverts the common French phrase “sauver les meubles" (preserve the essential). This tension between preservation and reinvention defines their artistic approach, especially on their latest album Folio #5 (Tour de Bras/Circum-Disc, 2024).
