Rez Abbasi Trio: Continuous Beat
by John Kelman
In the 17 years since Rez Abbasi released Third Ear (Cathexis, 1995), the Pakistan-born, American-raised guitarist hasn't just covered a lot of ground, he's gone from an undoubtedly talented but somewhat vanilla player to one with a distinct voice and approach.

Rez Abbasi Trio: Continuous Beat
by Glenn Astarita
Guitarist Rez Abbasi is one of the more prolific modern-era guitarists, calling New York City home but often adhering to his Pakistani roots through the looking-glass of jazz.

Vision Festival 16 - June 9: An Evening of Special Projects
The special project nights embody the epitome of the festival and the most striking contrast with the pre packaged, off the shelf bloat fests.

Sanda Weigl: Gypsy in a Tree
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Anyone who has lived the myriad lives of the Diaspora as Sanda Weigl has, is qualified to speak for the generations of pain and joy, torture and triumph of human life that has come to pass for her people, and the Gypsies as well. Fleeing the repressive regime of Romania and falling afoul of the even ...
Leslie Pintchik: Two Different Kinds of Art
by Bruce Lindsay
The title of Leslie Pintchik's third album, We're Here To Listen (Pintch Hard Records, 2010), says much about the pianist and composer's musical philosophy.
