Memorize The Sky: In Former Times
by Clifford Allen
Reedman Matt Bauder, percussionist Aaron Siegel and bassist Zach Wallace have worked together for almost a decade, but In Former Times, recorded live in Austria at the Ulrichsberger Kaleidophon, is only their second full-length disc. Siegel is, in addition to applying his pared-down kit of snare, bass drum and vibes to this recording, a composer of ...
Michael Blake Sextet: Amor de Cosmos
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
With each release, saxophonist Michael Blake pushes himself in a different direction through composition, instrumentation and/or stylistic approach. On Amor de Cosmos, the native Canadian convened an all-Canuck sextet to perform compositions inspired by family memories and the local history of British Columbia, where he spent time as a child. In a departure for Blake, the ...

Briggan Krauss' H-Alpha: Red Sphere
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Guttural saxophone bleats demand attention amid the drum whorls and electronic washes. After the initial blast, the horn recedes as clipped drum bursts and metallic effects create a halting groove that elicits more wails. The dynamic shifts and manufactured form from chaos of “Sun" typify Red Sphere by H-Alpha--saxophonist Briggan Krauss' improvising trio with laptop artist ...
Jason Domnarski Trio: Notes From Underground
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Jason Domnarski is obviously a talented pianist, so his new CD Notes From Underground is something of a letdown. He leads his trio through a set of cleverly titled tunes that touch various genres, but middling execution dampens the entire venture. The problem is that most of the tunes are merely average. For ...
Tony Bennett at the Apollo with Count Basie Orchestra
