Dominic Duval/Joe McPhee/John Heward: Undersound II
by Jeff Stockton
An air of mysticism looms over Undersound II. The briefly cryptic liner notes from bassist Dominic Duval point toward the philosophy of drummer John Heward and the significance of & quot;th" in words that express the phases of “a journey in time," such as “birth" and & quot;death."

Actis Band: Garibaldi
by Glenn Astarita
