Jonas Kullhammar: Plays Loud for the People
by Ty Cumbie
Jonas Kullhammar has a cool name. Its implications in English also make it somewhat appropriate sounding: this young sax virtuoso has a big sound, like a cool hammer. The new CD from his excellent quartet also looks goofily cool, with a youthful-looking painting that makes Kullhammar out to be far more gangly than he actually looks ...
Dog Out: Dog Out
by Matthew Wuethrich
Sex Mob’s Steven Bernstein has stated that he wants the group to revive the spirit of jazz, the spirit where people used to go out and “...listen to the music, go home and get laid.” Dog Out blares the same chord, like Sex Mob’s seedier, more bohemian (and Swedish) cousin. On their debut album these musicians ...
Moksha: Moksha
by Dan McClenaghan

Alberto Pinton: Common Intent
by Glenn Astarita
Dynamics and well-placed subtleties abound on this outing led by sharpshooter baritone saxophonist/clarinetist Alberto Pinton. This quartet charts a path brimming with sublime portraitures, bubbly unison choruses, and swarming yet flexible rhythms, although the band conjures up ominous notions on “Improvisation IV/IV." Pinton and trumpeter Kyle Gregory frequently engage in soaring choruses atop the thoroughly musical ...
