MEM3: Circles

Read "Circles" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

The modernistic piano trio, MEM3, draws influences from the innovative e.s.t. (Esbjorn Svensson Trio) and the Bad Plus, as well as the legendary drummer Peter Erskine's trio recordings. Circles, MEM3's second outing, puts them in the league with those higher profile groups as they craft an understated and unfailingly lovely trio sound enhanced with subtle electronic ...

EchoTest: From Two Balconies

Read "From Two Balconies" reviewed by Geno Thackara

by Geno Thackara

Andrew Vogt: The AV Club

Read "The AV Club" reviewed by Roger Farbey

by Roger Farbey

For a self-produced album, this really is first class fusion. Bassist Andrew Vogt and his band would give Snarky Puppy a real run for their money. Further proof can be seen on YouTube with a video of Vogt's earlier ensemble Humble Organisms playing “Pearhofjax," a number included in this album. Taking its cue from ...
