Espen Eriksen Trio: You Had Me At Goodbye
by John Kelman
When Rune Grammofon released In the Country's outstanding 2005 debut, This Was the Pace of My Heartbeat, it was promoted as the Norwegian label's “first jazz record." Still, that piano trio's eminently beautiful music retained the skewed edges so definitive of the label, while subsequent releases, including 2009's ambitious Whiteout, have aligned even more closely with ...
Paul Motian / Chris Potter / Jason Moran: Lost In A Dream
by David McLean
A drummer whose inventive approach to percussion has produced one of the most recognizable and in demand sounds in the pantheon of jazz, Paul Motian's revolutionary playing has seen him approach the kit not as a rhythmic backbone, but as a tool for subtlety and soundscape creation.

Paul Keeling: The Farthest Reach
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The cultures of several musical idioms collide in the music of pianist Paul Keeling on his album, The Farthest Reach.

Keeling also channels the glacial imagery of musicians who ...
Francois Couturier: Un jour si blanc

Resonance Records: Non-Profit Jazz Label with a Mission
by Samuel Chell
It's a story often heard before: musically, these are the best and worst of times. Only this time, in 2010, it seems different.
