Polar Bear with Jyager: Common Ground
by Bruce Lindsay
Sebastian Rochford, drummer and writer with Polar Bear, is one of Britain's most extraordinary musicians. The softly-spoken Scot is also one of the most curious of musicians, constantly seeking new sounds and collaborations both inside and outside the jazz world. On the fascinating Common Ground, Rochford gets new sounds from old sounds--eight of the tunes are ...
Wildbirds and Peacedrums: Rivers
by Bruce Lindsay
Rivers is beautiful; haunting, evocative, dreamlike, sad, confusing, scary and bewildering, it's a truly original work. Wildbirds and Peacedrums is a Swedish husband and wife team: percussionist Andreas Werliin and singer and composer Mariam Wallentin. Werliin is also the drummer with Dan Berglund's Tonbruket, while Wallentin has been compared to Nina Simone, although ...

Wildbirds and Peacedrums: Heartcore
by John Eyles
Wildbirds and Peacedrums is a Swedish duo that combines Mariam Wallentin's voice and Andreas Werlin's drums into a fresh, heady brew that is part pop, part improvisstion, part tribalism. Although sparingly augmented by other instruments on Heartcore, the combination of voice and drums never feels too sparse; the twosome has perfectly tailored their material to their ...

Adrian Klumpes: Be Still
by John Eyles
Adrian Klumpes is the keyboard player of the Sydney-based trio Triosk, which recently released The Headlight Serenade, but on this debut solo album he presents a very different face to the one he displayed in the trio. Recorded in one five-hour session in Klumpes' native Sydney, Be Still is perfectly--but ambiguously--titled. At times the music is ...
Triosk: The Headlight Serenade
by John Eyles
The Headlight Serenade is Triosk's third CD release, the group's second on the Leaf Label. Doubtless both parties are getting a little tired of the ongoing comparisons between Triosk and the Necks. (Yes, it does sound too easy--both trios, both Sydney-based Australian, both improvisers, ho hum--maybe even lazy journalism.) But the repeated piano figure at the ...
