Originally formed in the Netherlands in 2013, the group Falga brings together four artists from Italy and one from Serbia, all of whom have past connections in duo and trio formations.

Trumpetology: This Is Trumpetology
by Jack Bowers
Southern California-based Trumpetology is an octet comprised of five sure-handed trumpeters and rhythm. For comparison's sake, think SuperSax for trumpets. Even though leader / arranger Walter Simonsen doesn't transcribe solos by well-known horn players to unsettle his mates, several of his charts demand the same kind of snug digital dexterity employed by SuperSax, and the group ...

by Geno Thackara
It's a strange fact of life: to some degree or other, we've all got some little inexplicable deep-down attraction to things unsettling.

U.S. Army Blues: Live At Blues Alley
by Dan Bilawsky
When thinking of military bands, many tend to focus on their sterling technique and punctilious performances above all else. Creative concerns are rarely part of the conversation, but this album makes you wonder why. The U.S. Army Blues, a blue-chip big band of brothers that serves as the flagship jazz ensemble in the titular military branch, ...
Kaoru Watanabe: Néo
by James Nadal
Nostalgia, in Japanese, lightly translates into natsukashisa, a yearning for something from the past. American born, multi-instrumentalist Kaoru Watanabe has reverted to his ancestral Japan for inspiration on Néo, a synthesis of dignified taiko drumming with the jazz sensibility of improvisation. Prepared with a degree in jazz flute and saxophone performance, Watanabe spent a decade performing ...
