Bathysphere: Bathysphere
by Glenn Astarita
Driff Records labelmates, pianist Pandelis Karayorgis and reedman Jorrit Dijkstra assembled this impressive lineup with the intentions of keeping the “individual musicians in mind." The group moniker relates to a deep-sea submersible apparatus that draws a parallel to the ensemble's deep dive musical exploits.

Dave Bryant: The Garden of Equilibria
by Dave Wayne
As one of the few keyboardists to perform and record with Ornette Coleman on a consistent basis, Dave Bryant stands alongside the likes of Geri Allen and Paul Bley.

Laszlo Gardony: Life in Real Time
by Maurizio Zerbo
Questa incisione conferma il progresso artistico di Laszlo Gardony, particolarmente sotto il profilo degli equilibri sonori. Arrivato al quattordicesimo album, il pianista espande per l'occasione la sua tavolozza timbrica, riservata fino ad oggi all'esplorazione delle possibilità espressive del trio con pianoforte-basso-batteria. Cambiano quindi le dinamiche e le strategie in questo concerto bostoniano, con l'apporto di tre ...
Donald Rubinstein: Martin
by Dave Wayne
Jazz doesn't typically play a huge role in horror film soundtracks. Sure, there are exceptions. Jazz guitarist Joseph LoDuca scored Sam Raimi's adaptation of Stephen King's The Evil Dead. Giorgio Gaslini's collaboration with the prog-rock group Goblin on Dario Argento's Suspiria certainly has some jazz-related elements, as does the work of Krzysztof Komeda (Rosemary's Baby), Bruno ...
