Brad Shepik: Hard Believer
by Dan McClenaghan
The first burst of noise from a recording can be telling, predictive of what will come. The Believers' Hard Believer title tune says as much. A guitar, bass and drums group, the music comes to life with some resonant metallic chords. The drums and bass push their weight around. It is assertive music laid down with ...
Believers: Hard Believer

Brûlez les meubles: The Guitar and Bass Duo Who Threw Away the Script
by Lawrence Peryer
The name Brûlez les meubles carries a wry irony. While it literally means “burn the furniture" in English, the Québec duo playfully inverts the common French phrase “sauver les meubles" (preserve the essential). This tension between preservation and reinvention defines their artistic approach, especially on their latest album Folio #5 (Tour de Bras/Circum-Disc, 2024).

Rising above the audience laughter, somewhere in the depths of the theatre, a voice replied, “Roy, you're a giant!" ...
Norma Winstone, Kit Downes: Outpost Of Dreams

La cantante è Norma Winstone, ottant'anni passati e portati benissimo, il pianista Kit Downes, trentotto anni; la prima ha ...
A Brief Guide To Lebanese Jazz
by Ian Patterson
Lebanon is known for many things--its lush valleys, a fertile coastal plain and a 170 km-long mountain range carpeted with cedar, oak and pine.
