Young / Powell / Vespestad: Anthem
by John Kelman
Public perception can often be misleading. Those only familiar with Jacob Young's ECM recordings, including the sublime Evening Falls (2004), inevitably think of him as a painstakingly lyrical guitarist, informed by Jim Hall's economical forward- thinking and penchant for the sound of a warm, organic hollowbody or steely acoustic instrument. But that's only part of the ...

Any new piano trio has to face up to some stiff competition if it is to leave its own unique mark. The Berlin-based Sebastian Liedke Trio is ...
Mats Eilertsen Trio: Elegy

But while these associations might suggest a bassist disposed to gentler forms and understated freedom, they're only two of Mats Eilertsen's ...
