Jen Shyu: Song of the Silver Geese
by Hrayr Attarian
The dramatic and sublime The Song of the Silver Geese is vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jen Shyu's magnum opus.

Matthew Mitchell: A Pouting Grimace
by Karl Ackermann
A regular member of Tim Berne's Snakeoil and the Dave Douglas Quintet, pianist/keyboardist/composer Matt Mitchell has recently appeared on Rudresh Mahanthappa's Bird Calls (ACT Music, 2015) and Jonathan Finlayson's Moving Still (Pi Recordings, 2016). Mitchell has worked with a broad array of top-name artists including Steve Coleman, John Hollenbeck and Mario Pavone. Mitchell is a chameleon, ...
Steve Coleman's Natal Eclipse: Morphogenesis
by Luca Canini
C'è sempre il rischio che l'essenziale sfugga quando si parla di Steve Coleman. Troppe cose da spiegare, troppi pensieri da circoscrivere. E alla fine, puntualmente, il senso e la prospettiva vanno a farsi benedire. Come in una partita a Space Invaders, il videogioco anni Ottanta nel quale bisogna distruggere tutte le astronavi per impedire agli alieni ...
Tyshawn Sorey: Verisimilitude
by Karl Ackermann
So much has been said and written about Tyshawn Sorey's presence as a composer, performer and educator, that there is a threat of redundancy, even in adding new superlatives. Each release, however, demands attention to his exceptional and unmatched creativity. Putting aside Sorey's leader dates for the moment, those who have sought him out as a ...
Tyshawn Sorey: Verisimilitude
by Troy Dostert
Given Tyshawn Sorey's propensity for shattering the boundaries between jazz, free improvisation and classical music, it's noteworthy that he decided to stick with just his regular trio for his latest release, Verisimilitude. His previous record, last year's Inner Spectrum of Variables (Pi), drew heavily from the streams of classical and new music, with the additional presence ...
Steve Coleman: Morphogenesis
by Karl Ackermann
Steve Coleman's music has long sounded largely removed from the direct influence of his native Southside Chicago, not because those elements are missing, but because he creates a hybrid universe that owes as much to Africa and Europe, and to folk, funk, classical and jazz. His newest release, Morphogenesis, while furthering Coleman's musical development, displays features ...
Steve Coleman's Natal Eclipse: Morphogenesis
by Troy Dostert
After his 2015 masterpiece, Synovial Joints, alto saxophonist/composer Steve Coleman left his listeners wondering how he could try to top that extraordinary project. With 21 musicians and an ambitious melding of classical and jazz instrumentation with intricate compositional decisions, Coleman used that record to reveal yet another dimension of his constantly-evolving musical concept--one that's been changing ...
