Doug Wamble: A New Direction

Read "Doug Wamble: A New Direction" reviewed by Matthew Warnock


It's never easy for an established artist to make a change in their musical output mid-career, especially if up until that point they have made a name for themselves in the realm of traditional jazz. While some of these artists make a switch because for monetary reasons or to reach a wider audience, others are drawn ...

Fight The Big Bull: All Is Gladness In The Kingdom

Read "All Is Gladness In The Kingdom" reviewed by Martin Longley


Such an unwieldy band name and album title is almost perversely suitable for the ambitious music contained herein. Fight The Big Bull (FTBB) is, doubtless, dominant on the Richmond, Virginia alternative jazz scene, but possesses the powers to be equally noticeable on the much larger stage of, let's say, New York City. From this very place, ...

Ben Goldberg's Bag: Tin Hat & Go Home

Read "Ben Goldberg's Bag: Tin Hat & Go Home" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Ben Goldberg's music has never followed a set course or formula and the forward-thinking clarinetist always sticks to his guns when making artistic decisions.

Allison Miller: Boom Tic Boom

Read "Boom Tic Boom" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Just say yes to records led by drummers. Why? Because drummers may rarely be the leaders or composers, but they're always the soul of any good recording. Where's Coltrane without Jones, or Jarrett without DeJohnette? Nowhere. That's why, when a session is commanded by a percussionist, as is Boom Tic Boom by drummer Allison Miller, there ...

Read "Forty Fort" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


The experience of listening to the highly gifted quartet Mostly Other Do the Killing (MOPDtK) is like taking a ride on roller-coaster while drunk, but still trusting your life in the hands of a wild driver who often has some epileptic fits. It is fun, no doubt; a wild fun, like going to a circus. But ...
