Nils Petter Molvaer: er

Read "er" reviewed by Samuel Chell


Upon reading the titles of the tracks on er, I was prepared for a Windham Hill sampler of programmatic nature-music pieces. But Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer's muse, it soon becomes evident, is more closely related to the genius presiding over In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew and similar projects by some of Miles Davis' '70s ...

Nils Petter Molvaer: Streamer

Read "Streamer" reviewed by Nic Jones


Originally released in Europe in 2004, Streamer has finally been released in the US, allowing listeners on the other side of the pond to hear performances recorded on Nils Petter Molvaer's 2002 world tour. In terms of musical evolution, this might be some way off the mark relative to where the man is in 2006, but ...

John Medeski / Mathew Shipp: Scotty Hard's Radical Reconstructive Surgery

Read "Scotty Hard's Radical Reconstructive Surgery" reviewed by Ian Patterson


One of the strengths of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was the employment of silence. Yet if any piece of music could successfully accompany the image of Frank being “severed" from the space-pod by HAL, then the spacey, sinister intro of Scotty Hard's Radical Reconstructive Surgery could be it. This is an album full of ...

David S. Ware: Balladware

Read "Balladware" reviewed by Nic Jones


This could be one of those infrequent occasions where the situation in which the music was recorded has direct bearing upon the music that was made. Hoping to replicate the energy levels they had attained over the course of an extended European tour at the end of 1999, the members of David S. Ware's quartet went ...

David S. Ware: BalladWare

Read "BalladWare" reviewed by Troy Collins


After a 1999 European tour, the members of the David S. Ware quartet set out to capture their tumultuous live energy in the studio. Post-tour exhaustion derailed their attempts to record a high-energy performance, so they agreed upon a ballad session instead. As a result, BalladWare is the most nuanced and restrained performance by this quartet ...

Sex Mob: Sexotica

Read "Sexotica" reviewed by James Taylor


Sexotica showcases a unique band performing in an even more unique genre. Sex Mob, New York City's best band, according to a 2000 poll, has made a name for itself with jumping live shows and pop song-full setlists. Led by trumpeter Steven Bernstein, the quartet draws on the music of exotica pioneer Martin Denny for this ...
