Noah Preminger: Thunda
by Mike Jurkovic
There's a fascinating, affirmative equilibrium coursing throughout Thunda that words may fall short of. It's a music of purity and wonder spoken by survivors of the oddest year.

Tre improvvisatori indomabili tra ritmi siderali e dolcezza dell'acustico spezzata da espansioni elettroniche che sondano l'infinito. Hubert Dupont, Antoine Berjeaut e Steve Arguelles fondano il Trio Kosmos e danno vita a un long playing d'esordio basato sull'improvvisazione illuminata e sulla convergenza fra sonorità acustiche ed elettroniche.

Something Borrowed
by Patrick Burnette
In this third podcast on some of the best-reviewed jazz of the 2010's that we missed the first time 'round, the boys look at four albums that 'borrow' something, whether inspiration from a sci-fi author, jazz protests of the sixties, or jazz greats of the past such as Charlie Parker or Duke Ellington.
