Jeff Dayton-Johnson's 2015 Mixtape
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
The narrator of Jean-Jacques Schuhl's 2002 novel Ingrid Caven muses, “I like the connection, the splice, not the things themselves; what's between them, their rapport. Two ideas, images, the bridge between two harmonies for the jazz musician..."

Makaya McCraven: In the Moment
by Jakob Baekgaard
One venue, 28 shows and 48 hours of live, improvised music. These are the ingredients for Chicago-based drummer Makaya McCraven's album In the Moment.
