Mike Pride’s From Bacteria to Boys: Betweenwhile
by Nic Jones
Drummer Mike Pride is nothing if not busy, as a list of past collaborators including Milford Graves, George Lewis and Mary Halvorson shows.

The trouble might be, however, that this very range dilutes the group's identity. ...

David S. Ware and Joe Rigby: Loft Jazz Soloists
by Clifford Allen
In the void left by the deaths of saxophonists John Coltrane and Albert Ayler, among the cheap rents in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn offering space to artists and musicians, the presence of affordable loft spaces birthed an intersection of jazz scenes in the 1970s.

Giuseppi Logan: The Giuseppi Logan Quintet
by Clifford Allen
Giuseppi Logan The Giuseppi Logan Quintet Tompkins Square 2010 In terms of surprising musical rediscoveries, 2010 has started off rather auspiciously with the first recording of reedman and composer Giuseppi Logan in over 40 years.

Empty Cage Quartet: Gravity
by Troy Collins
Widely admired for its intricate mathematical construction, the Mayan calendar is far more than just a lightning rod for misguided prophets predicting the end of the world; it is also the source of inspiration for Gravity, the fourth studio recording from the young West Coast-based Empty Cage Quartet. The album consists of two extended compositions, which ...
