Luis Perdomo: Walking Towards the Light

Read "Luis Perdomo: Walking Towards the Light" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke

by R.J. DeLuke

Pianist Luis Perdomo's fingers dart across the keys, eloquently telling the stories that traverse his mind in that instant; doing so in a manner that enraptures an audience.

Meeco: Beauty of the Night

Read "Beauty of the Night" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

While danger, intrigue and excitement are often born beneath a silvery moon, love, loss and regret seem to come first to Meeco's mind when his thoughts turn to the night.

Meeco: Beauty of the Night

Read "Beauty of the Night" reviewed by Edward Blanco

by Edward Blanco

Paris-based composer/producer Michael Christian Maier, alias Meeco, has never truly delivered a standard jazz album, preferring instead to craft musical projects that are creative, innovative and different from the rest, described as “neither classical nor jazz" (Jaques Morelenbaum). A follow-up to Perfume e Caricias (Connector, 2010), Beauty of the Night is Meeco's third disc and his ...

Meeco: Beauty of the Night

Read "Meeco: Beauty of the Night" reviewed by Chris May

Matthias Bublath: Harvest On The Moon

Read "Harvest On The Moon" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Musicians and farmers may have far different day-to-day routines, but they have at least one thing in common: when their work reaches full maturation, it must be harvested for public consumption. Those digesting the end result of their hard work may not think twice about how it ends up in their hands, but they know the ...
