Joel Harrison: Mother Stump
by Dave Wayne
Given his proclivity for wildly eclectic, big-concept musical projects featuring improbable combinations of multi-ethnic instrumentalists, Joel Harrison is about the last guitarist I'd expect to record a funky slab of power-trio jazz-rock-funk fusion. Across the board, his guitaristic skills have taken a back seat to compositional concerns and rich, detailed arrangements. Yet, here is Mother Stump, ...

Ketil Bjornstad: Ketil Bjornstad: Sunrise (A cantata on texts by Edvard Munch)
by John Kelman
For a country with such a small population, Norway has much to be proud of when it comes to the arts...and not just music, though it remains a country whose support has certainly resulted in a disproportionate number of creative musicians across the broadest musical spectrum. Looking at the violin and its variants alone, there is ...
Maciej Garbowski - Ivann Cruz Quartet: Rashomon Effect
by Eyal Hareuveni
This pan-European quartet was formed after French guitarist Ivann Cruz and Polish double bassist Maciej Garbowski, a frequent collaborator of saxophonist Maciej Obara and Norwegian guitarist Terje Rypdal, met in 2010 in the JazzPlaysEurope project. The two decided to continue working together. They surrounded themselves with Cruz partners in the Lille- based musicians Muzzix collective, drummer ...
