Nir Felder: Golden Age
by Vincenzo Roggero
Sarà anche l'album di debutto ma in Golden Age il chitarrista Nir Felder si dimostra solista maturo, compositore interessante e leader convincente. Durante le dieci tracce del disco Felder gestisce al meglio i talentuosi compagni di viaggio convogliando le loro peculiarità verso un disegno comune organizzato e coeso.

Nir Felder: Golden Age
by Mark F. Turner
There were a few strong reactions when Nir Felder was donned “The Next Big Jazz Guitarist" in a 2010 NPR article.

One minute ...

Brian Landrus: The Low End Theory
by Daniel Lehner
Specialists don't usually have the luxury of controlling much of their destiny. For a low woodwind expert like Brian Landrus, it would be of little surprise to anyone to find that, though he'd have the freedom to experiment with sounds and timbres for his own records, he would be little more than a hired gun for ...
Brian Landrus Kaleidoscope: Mirage
by Hrayr Attarian
Multi-instrumentalist and composer Brian Landrus' Mirage is his most accomplished, and thematically unified recording to date. The music shimmers like the phenomenon of the title as pastel colored harmonies of a string quartet bleed into the deep, earthy tones of low reeds and the fusion-like sounds of the band, Kaleidoscope.On “Don't Close Your Eyes" ...
Brian Landrus' Kaleidoscope: Mirage
by Dave Wayne
Thus far, every recording by low-end multi-reed artist Brian Landrus has been refreshingly different. The NEC grad burst on to the scene a few years back with Forward (Cadence Jazz Records, 2008) a richly textured free-leaning acoustic jazz album created with a large ensemble of seasoned jazz veterans such as pianist Michael Cain and drummer Bob ...
