Splashgirl: Pressure
by Chris May
Splashgirl Pressure Hubro 2011 This radiant album from Norwegian piano trio Splashgirl is unlike anything that came before it, except, in some measure, its immediate predecessor, Arbor (Hubro, 2009), whose trajectory it develops.

Kris Davis / Ingrid Laubrock / Tyshawn Sorey: Paradoxical Frog
by Chris May

The Necks Are Proud of Their Lack of Direction
They make no plans before their concerts. Instead, they just go where their music takes them. When the Necks take the stage at REDCAT on Thursday night, there will surely be some confused looks darting around the audience before the performance begins. If the Australian piano trio's pattern holds -- as it has for the last ...
