Tyshawn Sorey: Pillars
by Karl Ackermann
Tyshawn Sorey's musical career has been steadily moving away from jazz and toward new music in several forms.

Cory Smythe: Circulate Susanna
by Karl Ackermann
Cory Smythe tells stories. About stories. Specifically, a father's tales in the rural heartland of America; ingredients that a listener might assume had shaped Smythe's imagination in ways that go far beyond music. But like the Stephen Foster discs spinning on the gramophone as a tornado approaches, Smythe's nostalgic and inspirational world is liner-note fantasy. Nevertheless, ...

by Henning Bolte

But with so many concerts spread over the city even two days demands serious decision-making and crisscrossing town. I was primarily ...
