Silent Solos: Improvisers Speak Soft cover; 174 pages ISBN: 978-3-00-030557-3 Buddy's Knife 2010 Improvisation, at its best, is about instinct.

by John Kelman
As renowned as Manfred Eicher is for his ability to scout out new talent deserving wider recognition, ECM's other regular (albeit less prolific) producer, Steve Lake, is equally worthy of similar consideration.

Vic Rawlings: Hardball
by Gordon Marshall
On a June night in 2009, Vic Rawlings was spinning 1950s LPs at a local record store in Central Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. At his side, the “sound fountain"--a true period piece of a hi-fi tower (mono, of course). Buddy Holly started the party, segueing into Doris Day and The Ink Spots. Sometimes the records skipped ...
