Paradigm: Melodies for Uncertain Robots
by Chris M. Slawecki
Paradigm's second album roams the free range of progressive jazz-rock fusion to harvest, thresh and bale every kaleidoscopic color and sound. It also clearly reflects the disparate makeup of this electric quintet with the band members hailing from Maine, New York, New Jersey, Kentucky and Tennessee; everyone met while studying jazz at the University of Louisville; ...
Leo Genovese: Unlocked
by Phil DiPietro
Boston takes pride in it's stature as one of those old Yankee towns where it's tough to establish a foothold--a place where it takes three generations to break into an old neighborhood. While it's brimming with young jazz talent, the majority make the most of the locally rigorous musical pedagogy before making haste for ...
The Harlem Experiment: The Harlem Experiment
by Chris M. Slawecki
Volume three in Ropeadope's Experiment series follows similar musical experiments that represent Philadelphia (2001) and Detroit (2003). “We look to Harlem as ground zero for all that is modern day 'American' music," explains co-producer (and Ropeadope founder) Andy Hurwitz. “Whether you call it jazz, R&B, hip-hop or rock, all of it passed through the neighborhood's gates."

Skip Heller: Mean Things Happening In This Land
by Chris M. Slawecki
Skip Heller seems like a pretty fun-loving guy. But this new release, from its opening cover of XTC's anti-prayer “Dear God through its concluding folk song about the closing of a Georgia mill, presents his own scathing commentary on current social, economic and political landscapes. Working with David White on drums and percussion and Chris Spies ...
The Skip Heller Trio: Mean Things Happening In This Land
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
It's increasingly difficult to tell when someone is being ironic or sincere. Skip Heller, more than a little manic and an unquestionably gifted guitarist, might not be able to tell us himself where the sincerity ends and the irony begins on this record. Start with the music. It's an energetic guitar/organ trio date, driven by the ...
