by John Sharpe
September 28, 2022

Even though he doesn't appear on the album, the music of Secret People has an affinity with the warped precision of keyboardist Matt Mitchell. Perhaps not surprising as drummer Kate Gentile forms one half of the duo Snark Horse with Mitchell, who also plays on guitarist Dustin Carlson's leadership debut Air Ceremony (OOYH, 2019), as does ...

by Vincenzo Roggero
September 2, 2019

International Jazz Day brought its biggest stage ...
