Marbin: Breaking the Cycle
by Hrayr Attarian
Marbin's sophomore album Breaking the Cycle is very different than its eponymous debut. Gone is the Zen-like, expansive but quiet sound, in favor of a cinematic quality with intensely complex tunes full of color and texture. The lineup has also expanded from the duo of guitarist Dani Rabin and saxophonist Danny Markovitch to include bassist Steve ...
Mark Weinstein: Jazz Brasil
by C. Michael Bailey
Flautist Mark Weinstein has enjoyed impressive success with his almost yearly releases. Timbasa (Jazzhead Records, 2010), Tales from the Earth (With Omar Sosa) (Ota Records, 2009) and Straight No Chaser (Jazzhead Records, 2008) were all favorably reviewed within these sacred electrons.

Steve Lacy: November
by AAJ Italy Staff
Quando se n'è andato, quel 4 giugno di sei anni fa, non lo si sarebbe detto: che il nome di Steve Lacy - perché é di lui ovviamente che stiamo parlando - sarebbe tornato al centro delle “cose" jazzistiche tutto sommato così di rado (al di là della memoria, indelebile, lasciata in chi l'ha conosciuto e ...

Conference Call: What About...?
