Tomos Williams: Cwmwl Tystion III / Empathy
by Ian Patterson
Mighty oaks from little acorns grow. So it has proven for Welsh trumpeter-composer Tomos Williams, whose intended one-off album Cwmwl Tystion / Witness (Tŷ Cerdd, 2019) unwittingly became the first installment of a trilogy charting Welsh identity, history and internationalism. Realizing there were still important stories to tell, Cwmwl Tystion II: Riot! (Tŷ Cerdd, 2021) picked ...

Miles Davis' 3rd Quintet: Reference: Bitches Brew Live 1969 In Europe
by Mark Corroto
For Miles Davis, timing was everything. His music rarely stood still long enough for audiences to catch up. The Columbia releases of Filles de Kilimanjaro (January 29, 1969) and In a Silent Way (July 30, 1969) marked the decisive bridge between his acoustic past and electric future. Yet Davis was already moving beyond that bridge before ...
