Billy Mohler: Focus!
by Vincenzo Roggero
Strano quartetto quello che dà alle stampe Focus. Vi troviamo Shane Endsley e Nate Wood dei Kneebody, Chris Speed degli Human Feel e Claudia Quintet e...

Quinsin Nachoff’s Flux: Path of Totality
by S.G Provizer
Composer/musician/producer Quinsin Nachoff, the force behind Path of Totality, is interested in and is at least somewhat conversant with physics and other things celestial. The 'Totality' he refers to in the title is that period of complete darkness, which is achieved during a complete solar eclipse. Of course, using themes is fairly common in jazz releases ...

Kneebody: Anti-Hero
by Mike Jacobs
Several questions came to mind when listening (repeatedly) to Kneebody's latest offering, Anti-Hero. 1. “Why does this feel important?" Easy one. Anti-Hero is by far the strongest effort yet from arguably the most original collective to strafe the jazz world in recent history. All the pheromones that make Kneebody so attractive have ...
