Alon Nechustan: Venture Bound
by Dan Bilawsky
Pianist Alon Nechustan is full of surprises. His work with Talat-- The Growl (Tzadik, 2007)--placed him in the alt klezmer jazz category, but he refused to stay put in that area.

Hutchinson Andrew Trio: Prairie Modern
by John Kelman
If Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are the only places in Canada considered, in any way, as hotbeds for jazz, the prairie provinces are, with the exception of the annual Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music, pretty close to the bottom of the list of other Canadian cities that have small but aspiring jazz scenes. ...

Unlike Pascoal himself, who might use that sound for a few minutes or ...
