Tineke Postma/Greg Osby: Sonic Halo
by Hrayr Attarian
One of the most intriguing elements of saxophonists Tineke Postma's and Greg Osby's superb Sonic Halo is the way the co-leaders overlap their individual voices to create a uniquely multifaceted and harmonically integrated entity. Both Postma and Osby double on alto and soprano and their ideas, whether spontaneous or prewritten, flow seamlessly between them. This sublime ...
Tineke Postma/Greg Osby: Sonic Halo
by Dan Bilawsky
Greg Osby has influenced legions of saxophonists over the past two-plus decades. On Sonic Halo, one of those players stands tall beside him.

Dan Weiss: Fourteen
by Hrayr Attarian
Intrepid drummer Dan Weiss' multi segment Fourteen is not a suite in the classical sense of the word.

Tampere Jazz Happening 2013
by John Ephland
Tampere Jazz Happening Tampere, Finland October 31-November 3, 2013 It all started with a whimper. Or, rather, a quiet, almost serene drum roll.
