Dominic Duval/Joe McPhee/John Heward: Undersound II

Read "Undersound II" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


An air of mysticism looms over Undersound II.

The compositions during this hour of ...

Evan Parker & Joe McPhee: Chicago Tenor Duets

Read "Chicago Tenor Duets" reviewed by Derek Taylor


Even with all the grousing about improvised music’s marginalized status, certain circles see a glut of new releases as an obfuscating force.
