by Chris May
Two of the most over-used phrases in music journalism are “overnight star" and “out of nowhere," and so apologies for starting with them here.

by Dan Bilawsky

Andratx: Live
by Mark Corroto
The Nordic jazz trio of Jonas Kullhammar, Kresten Osgood and Ole Morten Vågan is the type of super group that keeps the jazz tradition alive, not in the sense of an institution as much as a provocateur praxis. Andratx Live is its second release following a self-titled record on Moserbie in 2007. The three ...
