Mike Rud: Notes On Montreal

Read "Notes On Montreal" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

April 2, 2014

Read "Stories from The Years of Living Passionately" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann
March 31, 2014

A random sampling of Stories from The Years of Living Passionately could easily leave the impression that this is a hybrid of cool jazz, classical and world music.

by Eyal Hareuveni

Israeli, Canada-based vocalist Ayelet Rose Gottlieb attempts in her fourth solo album to portray a possible peaceful vision of the Middle-East through a wise arrangement of Israeli and Palestinian poetry.

Tri-Fi: Staring into the Sun

Read "Staring into the Sun" reviewed by Jeffrey Uhrich

by Jeffrey Uhrich
March 30, 2014

With their impressive new release, Staring into the Sun, Tri-Fi defies the odds and provides a sound argument that a piano trio can indeed be a “band" in the truest sense of the word. In most cases, albums that are released by musicians marketing themselves as a jazz “band" are merely vehicles to provide a framework ...
