Joelle Leandre & Jerome Bourdellon: Evidence
by Glenn Astarita

However, Bourdellon employs bass clarinet and bass flute on two tracks, as no other instruments are nestled into the mid-sections of the ...
Jean-Luc Cappozzo & Geraldine Keller: Air Prints
by Eyal Hareuveni
The collaborative art of French trumpeter Jean-Luc Cappozzo and vocal artist and flutist Géraldine Keller is a sophisticated play with air. Air breathes, gusts, atmospheric waves or windswept labyrinths and the spaces between these air bursts. Cappozzo and Keller subject the ether to their spontaneous whim, often surrender themselves to the surprising fancy of the ether. ...
Sudo Quartet: Live at Banlieue Bleue
by Glenn Astarita
The master improvisers on this live set convey a relaxed, yet thoroughly experimental dynamic amid dips, spikes, intricate sub-group dialogues and some mimicking along a course that may suggest an oscillating loop, countered by splintering soundscapes. Hence, the organic nature of the all-acoustic format offers additional insights and subtleties as the musicians scurry across non-linear frameworks, ...

Although he's come a long way since his early days in ...
Theo Ceccaldi Trio: Carrousel

Carrousel, the debut from this trio, is an original set of sophisticated compositions delivered by mature musicians who found a sound of their own--a chamber-like quality but an adventurous one, intense but lyrical, light but ...
