Joelle Leandre / Nicole Mitchell: Sisters Where
by John Sharpe
Sisters Where forms another installment in the fertile collaboration between French bassist Joëlle Léandre and American flutist Nicole Mitchell, following on from Before After (Rogue Art, 2011) and Flowing Stream (Leo Records, 2014).

Steven Lugerner: Jericho and San Francisco
by Daniel Lehner
Eric Dolphy once mused, “When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone, in the air. You can never capture it again."
