So it's ...

Dom Minasi: Remembering Cecil

Read "Remembering Cecil" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Guitarist Dom Minasi counts the late pianist Cecil Taylor (1929-2018) as one of his idols.

Kenner: 8Ball City

Read "8Ball City" reviewed by Patrick Burnette

by Patrick Burnette

Although the promotional material indicates that keyboardist/producer/composer Eitan Kenner was experiencing personal turmoil during the creation of 8Ball City, the music is upbeat, almost giddy. Helium powered synths spin out surging melodies against compound rhythms and chord progressions climb ever heavenward. Call it “happy prog," complex, cheerful music that nods to Frank Zappa without getting clenched ...

Animal Society: Rise

Read "Rise" reviewed by Roger Farbey

by Roger Farbey

Strictly speaking, Rise, the debut recording by Animal Society should qualify as an extended play (EP) release. However, given the fact that it weighs-in at just a few seconds short of forty minutes it also qualifies as a de facto album since plenty of the true stars of jazz (Ayler, Coltrane, Rollins, to name but a ...
