Conference Call: Evolution of a Burning Bush
by Gordon Marshall
Conference Call can be as balanced and beautiful as an intricate organism, and just as soon rage with holy fire.

The Fonda/Stevens Group: Memphis
by John Sharpe
Eighteen years and eleven albums is not bad going for a band roaming that precarious borderline between the mainstream and the avant-garde. And it has been achieved with the same core line-up of the two principal composers, bassist Joe Fonda and pianist Michael Jefry Stevens, together with drummer Harvey Sorgen and trumpeter Herb Robertson. That this ...
