Michel Benita Ethics: River Silver
by John Kelman
It's no secret that music is something that can dissolve borders, transcend cultures, and speak with a language understood by all. That the decreasing size of the world has made it possible for artists from disparate countries to collaborate and create music that is truly greater than the sum of its parts--imbued not just with the ...
Eagles Of Death Metal Returned Paris For Concert Last Night
Eagles of Death Metal performed Tuesday night in Paris for their first time since the November 13, 2015 terrorist attack that targeted their show at the Bataclan Concert Hall.

Léandre - Delbecq - Houle: 14 rue Paul Forte, Paris
by Giuseppe Segala
Dice Kafka che “il libro deve essere un rompighiaccio, per spezzare il mare gelato dentro di noi." Questa musica è un rompighiaccio. Ma è anche un bisturi, una torcia, un occhio che esplora, un urlo. Una voce. Tre voci. Che si accostano, si ascoltano, si mescolano, si avvinghiano. Chi ascolta resta sospeso, colpito, stupito da tale ...
Joëlle Léandre - Urs Leimgruber - Fred Frith - Alvin Curran: Oakland/Lisboa
by Glenn Astarita
This multinational dream team's second album was recorded live at a venue in Lisbon, Portugal. MMM stands for Mills Music Mafia, alluding to the respective artists' tenure or residency at Mills College in Oakland, CA.

Logan Richardson: Shift
by Mark F. Turner
Shift is a welcome return to the emotive stylings of Logan Richardson, the Paris-based, Kansas City-born saxophonist and composer who garnered respect as a fluent voice with his 2007 debut Cerebral Flow (Fresh Sound) and projects with peers like pianist Gerald Clayton in NEXT Collective. With this debut on Blue Note the blending of culturally rich ...
Leandre - Delbecq - Houle: 14 rue Paul Forte, Paris
by Glenn Astarita
Leo Records' press release correlates this trio's output to “heavy artillery" music, but it's most assuredly not all about bombast or in-your-face type avant-garde improvisation. Hence, these esteemed improvisers do what they do best in front of a select audience in Paris. Bassist Joelle Léandre and Benoit Delbecq hail from France and like Canadian clarinetist Francois ...
Austin-Based Jazz Vocalist Dena Taylor Releases New CD, "You've Changed"
Dena Taylor recorded her new album, You’ve Changed, while wondering if it would be her last time to sing and record. The day after it was finished she underwent throat surgery with no promises from doctors that she would even be able to talk after the surgery. Thankfully, it went well and she is speaking AND ...
Benoit Delbecq 3: Ink
by Glenn Astarita
Berlin-based bassist Miles Perkin handles the duties previously held by revered French bassist Jean-Jacques Avenel (Steve Lacy, Pharoah Sanders) who passed away in 2014. Therefore, this enterprising piano trio led by Frenchman Benoit Delbecq surges forward with the similar level of ingenuity conveyed on The Sixth Jump (Songlines, 2010). In addition, Congolese drummer Emile Biayenda intersperses ...
The Turbine!: Entropy/Enthalpy
by John Sharpe
Among a stream of US/French collaborations documented on the Rogue Art label, The Turbine! represents an unlikely combination: two double basses and two drum kits. One pair hails from each side of the ocean with the Chicago team of Hamid Drake and Harrison Bankhead matched against Benjamin Duboc and Ramon Lopez (in fact a Paris-based Spaniard). ...
