Ten Terrific Sax Plus Organ Combinations
by Artur Moral
OK, maybe the electric guitar was its first and most celebrated love affair, but the organ's alliances with the saxophone's family members are undoubtedly among the richest musical combinations, both in terms of sound and the intense interrelationships that typically develop in such encounters. Whether it be a tenor with a Hammond, a soprano with an ...
Trish Clowes, Ross Stanley: Journey to Where
by Angelo Leonardi
Il jazz britannico contemporaneo non si esaurisce nel multiforme movimento londinese di Shabaka Hutchings, Nubya Garcia, Ashley Henry, Theon Cross, Kokoroko eccetera.

Norma Winstone, Kit Downes: Outpost Of Dreams
by Chris May
Any release by Norma Winstone is an event and Outpost Of Dreams, her much anticipated first album since 2018's Descansado (Songs For Films) (ECM), rises to expectations.

Trish Clowes & Ross Stanley: Journey to Where
by Ian Patterson
After four albums together in saxophonist Trish Clowes' quartet My Iris, Clowes and pianist Ross Stanley peel away from the quartet for this intimate duo outing, recorded in Wigmore Hall, London in July 2021.
