Pat Mastelotto / Tobias Ralph: ToPaRaMa

Read "ToPaRaMa" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

InterStatic: Arise

Read "Arise" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


UK-reared keyboardist Roy Powell (Mumpbeak, Naked Truth)has called Norway home for several years while serving as a prime motivator for this futuristic UK-based, record label via sideman duties, and co-leading groups such as Interstatic. The band pushes the envelope yet again on this psycho, acid-rock slant on the jazz organ trio format. Nonetheless, the trio ups ...

Read "Jacob Young: Forever Young" reviewed by John Kelman


While all groups aim for the kind of collective chemistry that can make, for example, five people speak with a single voice, how they get there can vary significantly.

Mumpbeak: Mumpbeak

Read "Mumpbeak" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


When considering most instances of progressive rock, Mumpbeak is a horse of a different color. With four world- class bassists, chiefly performing on alternating tracks, and keyboardist Roy Powell's unearthly sound-shaping mechanisms garnered from an electronically souped-up Hohner clavinet, the band brashly merges a doomsday panorama with insurrectionary tactics.
