Michael Gibbs & The NDR Big Band: Play a Bill Frisell Set List / In My View
by Ian Patterson
Though his recording career dates back to the early 1960s, Zimbabwe-born arranger, composer and musician Michael Gibbs hasn't always been as prolific as a leader as he might have been.

by Roger Farbey
"Clouds" opens this set with a barely audible intake of breath, Emily Wright's dulcet voice, augmented in resplendent harmony by multi-tracking, is instantly indicative of her prodigious ability. The “Englishness" of Wright's vocal delivery is also obvious on the title track (with words by Victorian poet Robert Browning), where at times she channels that doyenne of ...

The Sirkis/Bialas International Quartet: Come to Me
by Angelo Leonardi
È una musica avvincente e ricercata quella che si ascolta in Come to Me: atmosfere intime e raccolte che si confrontano con sequenze incisive, sia vocali che strumentali. Protagonista è un quartetto al suo debutto, guidato dalla cantante polacca Sylwia Bialas e dal batterista israeliano Asaf Sirkis. La prima risiede in Germania mentre Sirkis vive in ...
Manu Katche: Touchstone for Manu
by John Kelman
With only four records released as a leader on ECM, it may seem a little early to release a “best of" disc for drummer Manu Katché. But having since moved on to fellow German label ACT for Live in Concert, while Touchstone for Manu is only being released in North America in the summer of 2015, ...
