Ryan Truesdell Gil Evans Project: Lines of Color
by Dan McClenaghan

Jack Mouse & Scott Robinson: Snakeheads & Ladybugs
by Jack Bowers
Jack Mouse plays drums; Scott Robinson plays almost everything else. So even though the word “duets" is (properly) used to describe their two-part collaboration on Snakeheads & Ladybugs, the album's concept and resolution go far beyond that. For example, there are no written compositions here, simply perceptive and spontaneous improvisation between two inordinately accomplished musicians. Free ...
