Read "Middleground" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers
October 4, 2011

It's a pity that someone as conspicuously talented as Janelle Reichman couldn't prompt at least one bona fide record label to release her remarkable debut, Middleground. But that's emblematic of today's music biz: without a name, talent simply doesn't cut it. While the other members of Reichman's quintet are also nameless--or may as well be--they are ...

by Dan Bilawsky
September 27, 2011

Drummer Kevin Crabb's name resonates most in drumming and education circles, but this album is all about his playing and composing. When the Los Angeles-based drummer isn't busy teaching, or espousing the virtues of his former teachers in articles for Modern Drummer magazine or elsewhere, he gets behind the kit and puts his extensive musical knowledge ...

With turntables, samplers and DAT machines in their arsenals, these solitary explorers discovered, manipulated and mixed sound in innovative ways. The boundary between instrument and tool would never be the same. ...
