Jane Ira Bloom: Like Silver, Like Song

Read "Like Silver, Like Song" reviewed by Jack Bowers


Jane Ira Bloom is one of those musicians I'd known about by reputation but hadn't actually heard. Now, having listened at last to her most recent album, Like Silver, Like Song, I am somewhat at a loss as to what to say about it.

Jane Ira Bloom: Like Silver, Like Song

Read "Like Silver, Like Song" reviewed by John Kelman


Jane Ira Bloom is one of only a handful of artists who make the soprano saxophone their main axe. But unlike David Liebman, whose expressionist bent is an acoustic concern, Bloom innovates by seamlessly and organically blending real-time electronic processing.
