The New Mellow Edwards: Big Choantza
by Troy Collins
The New Mellow Edwards, an eclectic ensemble signed to artist-run, Brooklyn-based Skirl Records, is led by trombonist Curtis Hasslebring, who draws upon a variety of influences for his unorthodox jazz compositions, including neo-classical formalism, elastic funk and tuneful indie rock.

Briggan Krauss' H-Alpha: Red Sphere
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Guttural saxophone bleats demand attention amid the drum whorls and electronic washes. After the initial blast, the horn recedes as clipped drum bursts and metallic effects create a halting groove that elicits more wails. The dynamic shifts and manufactured form from chaos of “Sun" typify Red Sphere by H-Alpha--saxophonist Briggan Krauss' improvising trio with laptop artist ...
Saxopaths: Unfocused Welcomes
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il quartetto di sax è un terreno molto insidioso. Troppi sono i predecessori illustri, molto vincolante la configurazione strumentale, per riuscire ad essere davvero originali. Il quartetto danese dei Saxopaths, attivo ormai da quattordici anni, ha scelto dunque una strada differente. Innanzitutto il repertorio che propongono non è prettamente jazzistico. Nell'album troviamo infatti canzoni tradizionali danesi, ...
Andrew D: Skadra Degis
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Throughout his career, Andrew D'Angelo has been known for pushing creative limits and challenging stylistic boundaries.
