David Binney: Lifted Land
by John Kelman
In a career that seems to go from strength to strength and milestone to milestone, it's hard to imagine how David Binney manages to not only release one terrific record after another, but to do so, in some cases, under some pretty constricting terms. Like the five other albums that the influential saxophonist/composer has recorded as ...
Jonathan Finlayson & Sicilian Defense: Moment & The Message
by Glenn Astarita
Trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson communicates a vibrantly rhythmic platform on Moment & The Message.

Diego Barber/Hugo Cipres: 411
by Dan McClenaghan
The opening of the decidedly modern music on 411, the track entitled “Timanfaya," sounds like a spooky, welcome to a plugged-in netherworld. It begins with electric surges and wafflings, then glowing beeps punctuating electric washes before a shift into tune two, “all in," that sounds as if the late multiple reedman Eric Dolphy is hanging around ...
