Spooky Actions: Quartet for the End of Time

Read "Quartet for the End of Time" reviewed by Ty Cumbie


The young Olivier Messiaen famously composed and premiered “Quartet for the End of Time in 1940-41 as a prisoner of the Nazis during World War II. One can apply just about as much meaningful drama to this story as one wants. It has even been suggested that Messiaen defeated the Nazis, in spirit at least, with ...

Spooky Actions: Early Music

Read "Early Music" reviewed by Rex  Butters


Bruce Arnold and John Gunther return with their Spooky Actions project, an inventive improvisational interpretation of musics not often tackled by jazz-based units.

Bruce Arnold/Mike Miller: Two Guys From South Dakota

Read "Two Guys From South Dakota" reviewed by AAJ Staff

He called these relationships ...
