Orchestra Nazionale Della Luna: Selene's View

Read "Selene's View" reviewed by Ian Patterson


In the interests of full disclosure let us dispense with the notion that Orchestra Nazionale Della Luna is an Italian band. Or an orchestra.

David Sanborn, Alan Braufman & Tahmela Six

Read "David Sanborn, Alan Braufman & Tahmela Six" reviewed by Maurice Hogue

So much has been written about David, and I can only add how much I loved that sound--you knew it right off--and his ability to play in any context. Rock on' David ...

Ivo Perelman/ Matthew Shipp Duo, Simon Nabatov & Orchestra Nazionale Della Luna

Read "Ivo Perelman/ Matthew Shipp Duo, Simon Nabatov & Orchestra Nazionale Della Luna" reviewed by Maurice Hogue

Brodie West, Anna Högberg & Veryan Weston

Read "Brodie West, Anna Högberg & Veryan Weston" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


Contrasting alto saxophonists highlight this episode. Toronto's Brodie West leads his quintet through a quirky and edgy set of tunes from Clips, while Sweden's Anna Hogberg leads a very free blowing group called Attack, and that's exactly what she does on her recent Lena. Another saxophonist, American Seth Trachy, brought along his mentor, the very respected ...
