Carl Maguire's Floriculture: Sided Silver Solid
by Nic Jones
It's been three years since Floriculture (Between the Lines, 2006), but it's been worth the wait.

Alexandre Pierrepont / Mike Ladd: Maison Hantee
by John Sharpe
There's a recurring argument about whether the marriage of jazz and poetry can ever be properly consummated, with strong opinions on either side, but the majority of adherents in the naysayers camp.
