Steve Tibbetts: Natural Causes

Read "Natural Causes" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson


First things first: this is a mellow record. A very mellow record. Not Ben Webster mellow, or Antonio Carlos Jobim mellow, or Morton Feldman mellow, but rather, a record of music depicting a kind of quietism: profoundly passive contemplation.

Steve Tibbetts: Natural Causes

Read "Natural Causes" reviewed by John Kelman

Steve Tibbetts: A Man About A Horse

Read "A Man About A Horse" reviewed by Paul West


The work of guitarist and percussionist Steve Tibbetts breaks free from most forms of jazz tradition out there; the music is out there, too, with little that's traditional - or even jazzy - about it. But it offers hypnotic pleasures wherein instruments are totally in sync and create rhythm in favor of melody. His latest, A ...
