Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day II
by Jerry D'Souza
When drummer Harris Eisenstadt debuted a new band on Canada Day 2007, he quite simply called it “Canada Day." Since then, Eisenstadt has nurtured the band through an open concept. He lets the musicians find their own voices, as they navigate his compositions and find a cohesive stream of tributaries that blend into one cohesive flow.
Brad Shepik Quartet: Across The Way
by Glenn Astarita
One of the modern day pioneers of integrating Balkan music into the progressive jazz vernacular, guitarist Brad Shepik's solo and session career spans a comprehensive panorama.

Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day II
by Mark Corroto
If you believe most recordings by drummer/composers are positive statements, then Harris Eisenstadt's Canada Day II is more than a glass half full. It is a brimming cup of music.

Brad Shepik Quartet: Across The Way
by Jerry D'Souza
Guitarist Brad Shepik mines a lode of styles on his compositions. Shadow and light play through his music, and he is not averse to opening the door to let a swath of sunshine in.

Brad Shepik Quartet: Across the Way
by Matt Marshall

To be sure, that work, which takes on global climate change ...

Robin Holcomb and Talking Pictures with Wayne Horvitz: The Point of It All
by John Kelman
An unspoken rule amongst musicians is: don't date someone in the band, let alone marry them. Still, there are exceptions, one of the most notable being the husband/wife team of singer/songwriter Robin Holcomb and keyboardist Wayne Horvitz. Together for three decades, they've intersected when the time is right, while still maintaining absolute independence through their rich, ...
