Stephen Gauci: Thunk!

Read "Thunk!" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

If the subject of an album of covers songs is pianist Thelonious Monk, then the approach invariably is reverence or its opposite, insolence. Bands either worship at Monk's alter or attempt to out-Monk Monk by counterfeiting eccentricity or outlandishness. To quote the great man, “You've been making the wrong mistakes."One band not making those ...

Tyshawn Sorey: Composite Reality

Read "Tyshawn Sorey: Composite Reality" reviewed by Daniel Lehner

by Daniel Lehner

Si tratta di “All the Things You Are" sofisticata, essenziale, minimalista, ma colma di pathos, biglietto da visita di Aeriol ...

Sara Serpa: Mobile

Read "Mobile" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Portuguese singer Sara Serpa is what is produced when the talents of Gretchen Parlato, Simin Tander and Tierney Sutton coalesce. Her voice is light and elastic, sporting a fierce intellect. Couple this with a vision/sense of humor of a Nicholas Urie and the result is a radioactive type of 21st Century Beat Poetry. Like Urie and ...
