Freedom Art Quartet: First Dance

Read "First Dance" reviewed by Carl Medsker


Raucous, brash and freewheeling, First Dance by The Freedom Art Quartet is rooted in the past yet fresh and contemporary. The album should sound familiar to those who have ventured outside the mainstream and spent time with Ornette Coleman and the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. Those forces are strong in the band, but labeling them retro ...

Nick Biello: New America

Read "New America" reviewed by Paul Rauch

Saul Dautch: Music for the People
