Sudo Quartet: Live at Banlieue Bleue

Read "Live at Banlieue Bleue" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Such is the strength and conviction with which the Sudo Quartet performs that thoughts immediately turn to how they developed such a cohesive group sound.

Joelle Leandre & Jerome Bourdellon: Evidence

Read "Evidence" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

Hence, the organic nature of the all-acoustic format offers additional insights and subtleties as the musicians scurry across non-linear frameworks, ...

by Eyal Hareuveni
