Thomas Albæk Jakobsen's Flux: Voyager
by Dan Bilawsky
Tranquil tidings, flowing gestures, sweeping statements, curious encounters, and triumphant displays are all incorporated into the music of Danish drummer Thomas Albæk Jakobsen's FLUX.

Wesli: Ayiti Etoile Nouvelle
by James Nadal
There is no other country in the western hemisphere that has been so grossly neglected and misunderstood as Haiti.

Jake Hertzog: Well Lit Shadow
by Dan Bilawsky
A suite for solo electric guitar that takes inspiration from images of particle collisions isn't exactly your garden-variety jazz release.

Alister Spence: Live
by Duncan Heining
Alister Spence Trio: Live is, apparently, this Australian group's sixth recording. Sadly, the others have passed me by and pianist Alister Spence only recently crossed my CD deck in the company of Scottish saxophonist / improviser Raymond MacDonald. To be honest, much contemporary piano trio jazz--EST, Brad Mehldau, The Necks--bores me. Perhaps unfairly so but to ...
