Manu Codjia / Geraldine Laurent / Christophe Marguet: Looking For Parker

Read "Looking For Parker" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson


It's very much a trio of equals that recorded Looking For Parker, but alto saxophonist Géraldine Laurent sometimes muscles her way out front. This is partly just the nature of the horn, and partly because she plays the same instrument as Charlie Parker, to whose music the record is dedicated. And most of all, Laurent, more ...

Arve Henriksen: The Trumpet is My Pen

Read "Arve Henriksen: The Trumpet is My Pen" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski


Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen is one of a handful of creative upstarts, like trumpeters Nils Petter Molvær or Erik Truffaz, who are embracing electronics and the improvisational side of jazz in their music.

Hedvig Mollestad Trio: All of Them Witches

Read "All of Them Witches" reviewed by John Kelman


It may well be sexist to suggest that there are few female heavy rock guitarists.

The Led Zeppelin Papers: Sacred Cows, Led Zeppelin and Does the Song Remain the Same?

Read "The Led Zeppelin Papers: Sacred Cows, Led Zeppelin and Does the Song Remain the Same?" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


"Sacred cows make the tastiest cheeseburgers" --after Abbie Hoffman (1936-1989) I have always said of popular culture, that like a McDonald's cheeseburger, it is to be consumed but never considered.
