Lina Allemano Four: The Diptychs
by Mark Corroto
Lina Allemano Four's The Diptychs presents three pairs of compositions, inspired by the visual art concept of placing two panels side by side. Just as diptychs in painting create meaning through contrast and dialogue, Allemano's music fashions reciprocal, interdependent sound worlds within each pair. A restless and inventive presence, Allemano splits her time between ...

RIP Jack DeJohnette
by Frank Housh
The great Jack DeJohnette passed away on October 26, 2025. His epic career is matched only by Miles Davis, whom DeJohnette began playing with in 1969 and later introduced to fusion in 1999's Bitches Brew (Sony Records, 1970). He played with everybody, from Miles to Pat Metheny. One of my favorites was his work ...
Jimbo Ross: So Do It
by Jack Bowers
Jimbo Ross is a jazz musician who happens to play the violin, not a violinist who happens to play jazz. And yes, there is a difference. Actually, Ross plays a specially designed five-string electric viola/violin on So Do It, as he did on Jazz Passion and Latin Satin, his debut album for Bodacious Records in 2024, ...

Yakir Arbib & Conti Bilong: Afro Baroque
by Neil Duggan
The fusion of jazz, baroque piano, vocals and traditional Central African and Middle Eastern rhythms might sound like an ambitious overreach, with too many influences competing for space. Yet Afro Baroque proves that what could have been a chaotic collision of styles instead shows how rhythm, melody and cultural expression can complement each other to produce ...
Christy Doran's May 95 Sextet: Same But Different
by Ian Patterson
Curse or blessing? A festival handing a musician carte blanche for a one-off adventure sounds liberating, but the allure of artistic freedom can be tempered by pressure: what if the personalities do not gel? What if it bombs? Christy Doran, the Ireland-born Lucerne-based guitarist, has never been one to dodge a challenge. His entire ...
