Love Supreme Festival 2026: A Personal Perspective
by Andy Crowther
The South Downs in East Sussex is a beautiful part of the UK. Glynde Place, the location for the Love Supreme Jazz Festival, is in the sweet spot between the bustling seaside city of Brighton and Hove, and the dramatic ridges of the Downs. Rolling countryside, flint-stone buildings, and Glyndebourne House--famous around the world for its ...
Roberto Di Gioia: Web Web - Kover Kover
by Andy Crowther
Web Web are a “German supergroup" releasing mostly their own material on the Munich-based Compost Records. All are heavily influenced by the spiritual sounds of the legendary Black Jazz and Strata East labels, the grooves of ethio-jazz, and the more experimental kraut-rock leanings of bands like Embryo. But their 2025 album Plexus Plexus tellingly included a ...
Nout: Live Album
by Ian Patterson
Buckle up. Proceed with caution. As debut albums go, French trio Nout's reasonably titled Live Album is a riot of musicianship, foundation-shaking noise and fearless originality.

by Glenn Astarita
This is not a newly unearthed recording by the Seattle-based grunge rock band, Nirvana.

Wave Mechanics Union: Further To Fly
by Dan Bilawsky
Rock music has been mined to the nth degree by jazz prospectors. Trumpeter Miles Davis was doing Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper a quarter century back; pianist Brad Mehldau has made Radiohead his own; jazz legend Herbie Hancock spoke of new standards by Peter Gabriel and Nirvana; and organ guru Dr. Lonnie Smith has delivered a ...
Web-based Radio Station Jet City Stream Exposes Thrilling New Seattle Talent, From Blues To Rock To Hip-hop
In the Emerald City, the slamming power pop and fuzz-bomb rock of Nirvana is now a faint echo of the past. It was only two decades ago when Seattle nearly ruled the world, when the technological advances of the Internet catapulted Microsoft into global dominance, when the town’s basketball and baseball teams thrust a refuse to ...
Todd Clouser's A Love Electric: 20th Century Folk Selections
by Mark Corroto
More than rock musicians and more than blues artists, jazz musicians carry the greatest burden of musical legacy. There are not stories about a contemporary rock musician who dedicates his career to mastering The Beatles catalog, or of the one who's playing is paralyzed because she cannot deal with Jimi Hendrix's solos. Nope. Only in jazz ...
