The South Florida Jazz Orchestra: The Music of Gary Lindsay / Are We Still Dreaming
by Jack Bowers
When a big band devotes an entire album to the compositions and arrangements of one musician, the obvious opening question is: why? In other words, who is Gary Lindsay and why is the South Florida Jazz Orchestra performing his music?

Sam Blakeslee Quintet: Selective Coverage
by Jim Olin
Selective Coverage is a remarkable and forward-thinking release by the Sam Blakeslee Quintet.

UHHM's self-titled debut album throws progressive rock and free jazz into a dizzying, heavily improvisational mix of satisfying songs and forgettable avante-garde experiments.

Umbra: West
by Ian Patterson
American road trips have long inspired writers, from Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck and Tom Wolfe, to Hunter S. Thompson, Robert M. Pirsig and Bill Bryson. Fewer are the extended works, similarly inspired, written by musicians. Some things, it seems, may be easier put into words. Umbra's West is inspired by founding member Chris Guilfoyle's 2017 road ...
