February 8, 2014

The title, simple yet enigmatic, hints at the epic tale that is SimakDialog--the Indonesian prog-jazz band formed by keyboard player Riza Arshad in 1993. The band's international debut Patahan (MoonJune Records, 2007) served as a global calling card, with critics referencing jazz-fusion influences such as trumpeter Miles Davis, keyboardists Chick Corea and Joe Zawinul, The Pat ...

The Interplay Jazz Orchestra: My Love You're Free

by Dan Bilawsky
February 6, 2014

Is there any sound as glorious as that of a big band in full swing?

While this album is Ballard's long-awaited leader debut, it's more tempting to dub it a leaderless or ...

Mimi Jones: Balance

Read "Balance" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian
February 5, 2014

Virtuoso bassist and superlative bandleader Mimi Jones' (AKA Miriam Sullivan) Balance is a delightful album filled with 79 minutes of engaging music. Despite the title, however, it is an unevenly structured work. The edgy, dramatic “The Incy Wincy Spider" for instance completely deconstructs the children's rhyme into an intriguing, darkly hued and haunting piece. ...
