Marco Bolfelli Trio: Streamflow
by Roger Farbey
The scintillating “Madiba" (Nelson Mandela's Xhosa clan name) opens up this set with a cascade of fluidly chiming harmonics. Developing at a moderate pace, it's a haunting celebration of a uniquely inspiring leader. “70pic" signals that the nearest equivalent to Bolfelli's playing might be that produced by virtuoso Bill Frisell, both chordally and melodically with characteristic ...

Ziga Koritnik and The Eye
by John Kelman
In a time when cameras are more pervasive and invasive than they've ever been--with iPhones, iPads, Androids and low-price point-and-shoot devices lending the impression that everyone is a photographer--photo artists like Žiga Koritnik, paradoxically, stand out more than ever. Sure, anyone can take a picture, but to get to the heart of a subject and truly ...
