Steve Lehman Trio and Mark Turner: The Music of Anthony Braxton

Read "The Music of Anthony Braxton" reviewed by Troy Dostert

Barry Deister Quintet: An African Suite

Read "An African Suite" reviewed by Scott Lichtman

by Scott Lichtman

It is not uncommon for jazz artists to borrow from world music to enliven their pieces--adding a dash of spice as it were.

Kateryna Ziabliuk works her keys like a sculptor, chiseling surely but steadily, gradually revealing a form--her increasingly fluid lines tinged with Ukrainian folk ...
