Brent Canter: Urgency Of Now
by Dan Bilawsky
Red flags usually pop up the minute an organ is spotted on the personnel list of a record. Regardless of the quality of the music, the direction is often set in stone, with bluesy Jimmy Smith-style swing dominating the proceedings, but that doesn't always prove to be true. In fact, guitarist Brent Canter's Urgency Of Now ...
Susana Santos Silva Quintet: Devil's Dress
by Dan Bilawsky
The Devil wears many guises, as does the music on Devil's Dress.

Tim Nikolsky: Getting Real Down Under
by Ian Patterson
Australian jazz? Although New Orleans is the undisputed historical cradle of jazz, any attempt at a definition of what modern jazz is seems to crash against the rocks of uncertainty at best, and narrow mindedness at worst. Tim Nikolsky--a guitarist who has been part of the Melbourne jazz scene for a decade--agrees that, whilst it is ...
Agogic: Agogic
by Mark F. Turner
Seattle's music scene is well known for its alternative rock bands, such as Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden.
