by Ian Patterson
2025 marks the 30th anniversary of Moving On Music (MOM), one of Ireland's finest music promotion companies. There will probably be little hoopla, no big party and probably not even a cake.

Stephen Davis: Leaving It All Out There
by Ian Patterson
"How come I haven't heard of you before?" a surprised Anthony Braxton asked Northern Irish drummer/percussionist Stephen Davis. The venerable American saxophonist and composer was bowled over after playing with Davis for the first time. Most musicians are. It is no secret in Ireland, or indeed Europe at large, that Belfast-born Davis is ...
Stephen Davis Unit: The Gleaming World
by Ian Patterson
Belfast-based drummer-percussionist Stephen Davis' debut album for 577 Records takes its name from a line in a Seamus Heaney poem. The Irish Nobel laureate drew deeply on his rural surroundings, and, as these song titles suggest, so too has Davis.

Ben Solomon: Echolocation
by Alberto Bazzurro
Fra cascami coltraniani, evidenti fin dalle prime note del brano iniziale (ma del resto fin dal nome dell'etichetta produttrice dell'album), e un linguaggio risciacquato anche in acque un po' più contemporanee, questo live album (incisione del dicembre 2023) del giovane tenorsassofonista (in altre occasioni anche sopranista) Ben Solomon ci offre una musica solida e ottimamente congegnata, ...

Jon Irabagon: Server Farm
by Mike Jurkovic
Warning! Warning! Heads up! Spoiler alert! Server Farm has the potential to take your head to some random places. Some alarming (as all artists should be these days), Some cacophonous. Some claustrophobic. Others freeing, fleeting, fervent. Server Farm, saxophonist/composer Jon Irabagon's heatedly precise and prescient head-on clash with the threat of AI blisters the ...
