Franz Koglmann / Bill Dixon: Opium For Franz

Read "Opium For Franz" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Back in the day, we wouldn't speak of a limited issue release, even though this one probably ...

Read "The Largo And The Lame" reviewed by Mark Corroto

By now it is generally accepted that there is such a category as Germanic free improvisation.

Read "Thelonious Monk Revisited" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu
