Kyle Shepherd: Where Dream States Meet Reality
by Dan Bilawsky
The Standard Bank Young Artist Awards program has been shining a light on some of the best and brightest South African up-and-comers in music, drama, dance, film, and other art forms since 1984. Almost from the start, and for the two decades that followed, music was simply represented with one umbrella category when these awards were ...
Mark Guiliana: Beat Poet Of A Different Sort
by Dan Bilawsky
Drummer Mark Guiliana's work has nothing to do with benzedrine, berets, William S. Burroughs and the like; he's a beat poet of a different sort, shrewdly dissecting and interpreting the language of rhythm in real-time. Guiliana is one of the few drummers who can successfully and creatively straddle and blur the electro-acoustic dividing line, and he's ...
Three new releases on Rune Grammofon
by John Eyles
Norway's Rune Grammofon label long ago established itself in the front rank, initially based on releases by the group Supersilent plus releases including its members Deathprod (Helge Sten), Ståle Storløkken and Arve Henriksen.

by Eyal Hareuveni
Portuguese, Lisbon-based saxophonist (and photographer) Rodrigo Amado's main musical vehicle in recent years is the Motion Trio, a powerful, rhythmic unit that collaborated before with Chicagoan trombonist Jeb Bishop (The Flame Alphabet, Clean Feed, and Burning Live At Jazz Ao Centro, JACC, both released on 2012).

Ivo Perelman - 5 CD in un anno
by Vincenzo Roggero
Nella carriera del sassofonista e artista visuale brasiliano Ivo Perelman (il suo sito è significativamente dedicato ai due differenti ambiti artistici), iniziata discograficamente nel 1989 con l'album Ivo, possiamo individuare due punti fermi, due caratteristiche rimaste per lo più immutate nel corso degli anni. La prima è la presenza all'interno di un free spesso privo di ...
Ivo Perelman, leone ipertrofico
by Alberto Bazzurro
Ormai da qualche anno l'andazzo è questo: due uscite all'anno, tre album alla volta, e via andare. Ci riferiamo ovviamente alle infornate discografiche di cui si rende protagonista Ivo Perelman su etichetta Leo. Inflazione produttiva? A dir poco. Anche perché, di fatto, i dischi sono più o meno tutti uguali. Né potrebbe essere altrimenti, al di ...
The Spiritual Language of Soprano Saxophone Player Joe Rosenberg
by Eyal Hareuveni
Soprano saxophonist Joe Rosenberg, who splits his time between Paris, France and Bali, Indonesia, has a highly personal approach to playing and improvising. He stresses a spiritual search for an inner sound that may enlighten his music with profound, timeless meaning. Regrettably, Rosenberg records rarely. His last effort with the Signal to Noise quartet, Tag, was ...
The Vocal Art of Norwegian Stine Janvin Motland
by Eyal Hareuveni
Norwegian vocal artist Stine Janvin Motland is known for highly original, extended vocal techniques. Her range and imagination mark new frontiers for the natural acoustics of the human voice. Motland previously recorded with drummer Ståle Liavik Solberg in MotSol, and with he and local sax hero Frode Gjerstad, plus American cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm in the quartet ...
Your Shipp Has Come In
by Mark Corroto
These two guest appearances demonstrate that pianist Matthew Shipp has become an elder statesman in the jazz world. How that happened can be boiled down to two simple elements. One: he has created a unique sound and language for improvised music and two: Shipp has become a doyen of cutting edge music making and opinion.
The Doors: The App and Beyond
by Doug Collette
Given the late Jim Morrison's fascination with media, plus the film school experience he shared with Ray Manzarek, it's more than a little fitting The Doors have unveiled their own computer app. Few rock bands have their own app, apart from those centered on a specific release, but then, few have the near half-century history to ...
