Read "7X7BY7" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

Jack Bowers' Best Jazz Albums Of 2024

Read "Jack Bowers' Best Jazz Albums Of 2024" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

Freysteinn Gíslason: Að einhverju / To somewhere

Read "Að einhverju / To somewhere" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Emerging from Iceland's volcanic landscape--a land where glaciers and geysers conspire to create heavenly magic--Freysteinn arrives with their third sonic missive, Að einhverju/To somewhere.

Along with the melodic complexities ...

Read "Breezy" reviewed by Rob Garratt

by Rob Garratt

When news of Jaimie Branch's passing broke in 2022, there was an understandably huge outpouring of tributes from different corners of the jazz community. While an eternal punk rocker at heart, Branch was also a distinctly millennial musician, and a fitting figurehead for the recent wave of borderless improvised music that came out of Chicago's International ...
