Xiu Xiu: Nina
by Mark Corroto
Like a horrendous and gruesome accident you pass on the expressway, listening to the Jamie Stewart's covers of Nina Simone's music is both repulsive and abhorrent, but ultimately impossible to escape. Seems you just have to listen. Stewart and his avant-garde group Xiu Xiu probably have never had their discs filed in ...
Canadian Singer/Songwriter James Bruce Moore Dedicates Album To Late Wife
It’s no surprise that one of the songs on “Lisbeth," the first album from Canadian singer/songwriter James Bruce Moore, is entitled “Stars of Silver.” After all, a number of tracks on the CD are about light – the light that emanates from life, and the light that fades when life passes away.

Redmond-Langosch-Cooley: Compared to What
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
In 2003, after I heard Mary Ann Redmond's astonishing voice for the first time, we did an interview here called “On the Verge." Well, she's still on that verge--at least everywhere outside of the Washington, D.C. area, where she lives. With just a handful of albums to her name, Redmond has won an astounding ...
Arve Henriksen: Places Of Worship
by John Eyles
Places of Worship marks the return of Supersilent's trumpeter and vocalist Arve Henriksen to Rune Grammofon after his 2008 solo album Cartography for ECM—if we conveniently ignore the awesome compilation Solidification (Rune Grammofon, 2012).

Live From Old York: Jim White, Vijay Venkat, Adriano Adewale & Benjamin Taubkin
by Martin Longley

Bill Mays: Inventions, Conventions and Dimensions
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
This title is more than a rhyme: it's an attempt to capture some of the legendary versatility of pianist Bill Mays. “Inventions" refers to his unprecedented, working jazz trio of piano, trumpet, and cello. “Conventions" is a nod to his invaluable contribution to the annual meeting of the International Society of Bassists (in 2013, he played ...
Berserk!: Berserk!
