by Chris M. Slawecki
August 8, 2014

Doombalaya--"Jambalaya" with “Doom" in place of “Jam"--grew out of 2009/2010 jam sessions among Tulane University (Louisiana) jazz student. Since then, they've become deeply integrated with New Orleans' musicians and musical scene, playing in clubs uptown and downtown. “Doombalaya is a New Orleans Jazz/Afrobeat/Rock band that tries to push the limits of what we can do.

by Bruce Lindsay
August 7, 2014

Ayal Tsubery is a Berklee-educated bassist and composer influenced, as he puts it, by ..." jazz, Israeli folk, African and Middle Eastern grooves and old-school gritty rock 'n' roll."

August 6, 2014

Chicago-based saxophonist Pat Mallinger's Home on Richmond (Self Produced, 2011), featuring pianist Bill Carrothers, introduced a superb teaming of talents. Mallinger could be tagged as a mainstreamer, but only in an elastic interpretation of the label, something like calling sax man Jackie McLean a straight ahead jazz guy.

by Vincenzo Roggero
August 6, 2014

L'ispirazione per la musica contenuta in Battle Mountain--è lo stesso Ben Flocks a rivelarlo nelle note di copertina--arriva dalla grandiosa natura delle Santa Cruz Mountains, zona incontaminata della California nella quale Oceano Pacifico, rocce granitiche, colline rigogliose danno vita ad un paesaggio affascinante e misterioso. Il secondo brano--il traditional “Shenandoah"--e “Silver City Bound" ...
