Lucky 7's: Pluto Junkyard

Read "Pluto Junkyard" reviewed by Troy Collins

by Troy Collins

The brainchild of trombonists Jeb Bishop and Jeff Albert, the Lucky 7's are a consummate example of post-Vandermark Chicago-based collectivism.

Marcin and Bartlomiej Brat Oles: Duo

Read "Duo" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Faced with any bass and drums duo, the question is always going to be: does it pass the music minus one test? It is a brave and unforgiving furrow which not too many choose to plough.
