Dominic J Marshall Trio: Spirit Speech
by Bruce Lindsay
Dominic J Marshall has clearly absorbed a lot of influences in his 24 years. The pianist, born in Scotland and now resident in Amsterdam, brings many of them to Spirit Speech, the third album by his trio. Hip-hop, jazz, classical, folk: it's a disparate bunch and while it isn't exactly chalk and cheese there's still a ...

Bob van Luijt's Square Orange: The Core
by Bruce Lindsay
What's the appeal of a square orange? Place it on a table and it stays put. That's about it. The musical equivalent, in the shape of Dutch bass guitarist Bob van Luijt's Square Orange, has much greater appeal. The quintet's debut album, The Core, features van Luijt's original compositions: a set with impressive stylistic range.
Spinifex: Hipsters Gone Ballistic
by Vincenzo Roggero
Basso elettrico e chitarra elettrica acchiappano da subito con spietata inesorabilità, con la violenza del rock più aggressivo e la capacità di infiltrarsi e stravolgere le trame musicali attraverso la sensibilità e la prontezza del jazz. Poi i fiati, magmatici e cristallini, imprevedibili e sarcastici, laceranti come un urlo nella notte, inquietanti come una ninna nanna ...
Spinifex: Hipsters Gone Ballistic
by Eyal Hareuveni

Ognuno dei dieci brani s'ispira ad una poesia o a una composizione di tema autunnale ...
The Two Al's: And the cowgirls kept on dancing
by Eyal Hareuveni

Corrie van Binsbergen: Self Portrait In Pale Blue
by Eyal Hareuveni
Dutch guitarist Corrie van Binsbergen's musical aesthetics are often compared to charismatic, extrovert guitarists from the school of Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa or Marc Ribot. Her first solo album is something completely different. It began to take form by accident after a scheduled recording was cancelled and van Binsbergen, with encouragement from pianist Albert van Veenendaal, ...
