Read "Aerial Age" reviewed by Nic Jones

by Nic Jones

This is drummer Tim Daisy's working trio. His other work with Ken Vandermark has in recent years mapped out new territory for the always vibrant Chicago creative music scene. Daisy's compositions make up the whole program on this title and it's clear from them that his influences range from that city to schools outside of the ...

In questo senso il percorso dei Vandermark 5 è ...

Read "Live At SJC" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Like minds always seem to find and sometimes track down each other. Such is the case with the Polish brothers Marcin Oles (bass) and Bartlomiej ...
