Stu Brown: Twisted Toons Vol. 2 (The Music of Carl Stalling, Scott Bradley and more...)
by Roger Farbey
Cue the opening titles and the all-too familiar theme of “The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down"; a blast of which at just 23 seconds is enough to place the listener in the mood for the ensuing fifty five minutes of mayhem-inspired melodies. This is Stu Brown's second paean to the great cartoon score composers. His first ...

Tyshawn Sorey: The Inner Spectrum of Variables

Tyshawn Sorey has realized a career's worth of accomplishments, accolades and appointments despite a professional resume that--with the exception of Vijay Iyer's Blood Sutra (Artist House, 2003)--is not quite ten years in the making.

Die Hochstapler: Plays The Music Of Alvin P. Buckley
by Mark Corroto
Back in high school, my physics instructor explained to us how there is a mathematical equation for everything in the universe.

Henry Butler, Steven Bernstein and the Hot 9: Viper's Drag
by Angelo Leonardi
Cosa unisce la dissacrante verve di Steven Bernstein -estroverso leader dei Sex Mob e animatore di vari progetti con la Tzadik di John Zorn-col virtuosistico pianismo di Henry Butler, fortemente intriso di blues? Questa rilettura sul primo jazz di New Orleans è una delle risposte. La passione per la tradizione ha accomunato i due ...
Bret Higgins' Atlas Revolt: Bret Higgins' Atlas Revolt
by Vic Albani
Non ce ne eravamo dimenticati. Chiediamo scusa per il ritardo poiché di questo disco si sarebbe dovuto parlare già diverso tempo fa ma... i pompieri, le cavallette e via di conserva. Come è ormai ben noto, John Zorn licenzia spesso per la sua attivissima Tzadik molti dischi di notevole spessore qualitativo ed interesse. ...
