Read "Dream Brigade" reviewed by John Sharpe

Camila Nebbia & Angelica Sanchez: In Another Land, Another Dream

Read "In Another Land, Another Dream" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Improvising with an instrument that can leave the tempered scale presents a considerable challenge to a pianist. However Angelica Sanchez aced the exam when she encountered tonally free-spirited Argentinean tenor saxophonist Camila Nebbia at Brooklyn's IBeam in November 2023. Consequently there is the feeling not only of ongoing conversation on the six tracks that make up ...

Jason Robinson, Sanchez / Guy / Lopez, Vehicle / Passenger & Jeff Lederer

Read "Jason Robinson, Sanchez / Guy / Lopez, Vehicle / Passenger & Jeff Lederer" reviewed by Maurice Hogue

by Maurice Hogue

Multi-reedist Jason Robinson's second volume of music composed in honor of his ancestors maintains the same power and emotion as the first and both albums are among the best releases of 2024. Fellow saxophonist Jeff Lederer's new Guilty! has a political slant, and it delivers a message that many of us are waiting to hear, while ...

Myra Melford's Fire And Water Quintet: Hear The Light Singing

Read "Hear The Light Singing" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Pianist Myra Melford's blue chip Fire And Water quintet assuredly sidesteps second album syndrome. Hear The Light Singing stands very much the equal of the band's superlative eponymous debut. The only change is that Lesley Mok takes Susie Ibarra's place behind the trapset, otherwise the triumvirate completing the starry squad remains Ingrid Laubrock on saxophones, Tomeka ...

Anna Webber: Shimmer Wince

Read "Shimmer Wince" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

There is often an underlying rigor to the work of Canadian saxophonist and flautist Anna Webber, be that inspiration from the digital world on Binary (Skirl, 2016), her investigation of multiphonic intervals on Idiom (Pi, 2021) or contemporary classical percussion repertoire on Clockwise (Pi, 2020). On Shimmer Wince, she derives her compositions from ...
