Rob Mazurek and Tortoise: New Chicago

by Mark Corroto
June 19, 2009

Alexandre Pierrepont / Mike Ladd: Maison Hantee

Read "Maison Hantee" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe
April 30, 2009

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. Partly it's to do with the inflexibility of the words, which can't respond in the moment to the musician's whim, forcing the music to ...

Eugene Lee: Meditations

Read "Meditations" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
