Sandra Nkaké: Music's New Buffalo Soldier
By Shannon J. Effinger There are few female artists today who balance grace and femininity with strength and conviction, while baring their souls during live performances. Miriam Makeba was one. Nina Simone was another. Susana Baca, most definitely. Very soon, Sandra Nkaké will join the illustrious company of these dynamic performers. This artist has ...
Hélène Prévost: À la plage
by Eyal Hareuveni
Montreal-based Canadian radio presenter, producer and sound artist Hélène Prévost creates in her debut recording a play within play, made of words and manipulated sounds that blur the distinctions between reality and fiction, real and virtual time. À la plage ("at the beach" in French) has nothing to do with breezy, recreational, summer leisure time but ...

Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra: Habitat
by John Kelman
It may have been the title of her last album--Treelines, Christine Jensen's first large ensemble recording--but there was no song of that name on the 2010 Justin Time release. Instead, it's the lead-off to Habitat, Jensen's second album with her Jazz Orchestra, a commissioned work for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Jazz Orchestra, its director, Dr. Paul ...
Mike Rud: Notes On Montreal
by Dan Bilawsky
Do you have to be intimately familiar with a specific locale and its literary representations and intimates in order to appreciate music that's inextricably linked to it? Guitarist Mike Rud's Notes On Montreal raises that question, but it's a question that can never truly be answered. For it's up to each individual artist to find a ...
Franklin Kiermyer: Further
by Hrayr Attarian
Expat Canadian drummer Franklin Kiermyer's sublime and passionate Further is a cohesive work that is both transcendent and crackles with a visceral vitality. The album revolves around themes that are inspired by saxophonist John Coltrane's late career explorations but the Oslo-based Kiermyer and his band are not mere impersonating devotees. They imbue every tune with originality ...
Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra: Habitat
by Dan Bilawsky
The blurry photo that adorns the cover of Habitat is completely at odds with what awaits inside the package: Some of the most incredibly focused and finely wrought large ensemble music to emerge in recent memory. Canadian saxophonist/composer Christine Jensen won plenty of fans with the her last jazz orchestra album--Treelines (Justin Time ...
