Minamo: Kuroi Kawa - Black River
by Budd Kopman
The astonishing double CD Kuroi Kawa--Black River finds pianist Satoko Fujii and violinist Carla Kihlstedt getting together for a second time, after Minamo (Henceforth, 2007). The earlier recording is comprised of two fortuitous live performances that were stunning in how completely at ease these two performers were with each other. Exhilarated by their ...
Ahleuchatistas: Of The Body Prone
by Troy Collins
Of The Body Prone is the fifth album from the six year-old Asheville, North Carolina-based power trio Ahleuchatistas.

Uri Gurvich: The Storyteller
by Andrey Henkin
Despite the fact that alto saxophonist Uri Gurvich is Israeli and that his debut CD is on the Tzadik label (as part of its “Radical Jewish Culture" series), The Storyteller only sounds parenthetically Jewish. Yes, some of the titles are in Hebrew (translated as “The Builders," “I Believe" and “Chant" and a type of hummus) and ...
John Zorn: Femina
by Troy Collins
Composer, bandleader and Tzadik label founder John Zorn has long honored women in the arts, through dedications such as “Redbird" (for Agnes Martin), “Duras" (for Marguerite Duras) and “In the Very Eye of Night" (for Maya Deren), and through Tzadik's Oracles Series, which “celebrates the diversity and creativity of women in experimental music." Femina is his ...
Ahleuchatistas: Of The Body Prone
by Mark Corroto
Tzadik label chief John Zorn has never lost his passion for hardcore music. Although his band Naked City is no more, he continues to promote artists who, to quote Allen Ginsberg are, “destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix." The band Ahleuchatistas certainly does ...
