Artists and labels need to conceive of, put together, record, release and market their holiday-themed albums early, so they can make their way into eager listener's stockings before ...

Read "Modern Primitive" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne
November 24, 2012

Steeped in various aspects of jazz tradition as much as it is on the cutting edge, the sonic territory covered by Modern Primitive is vast, to say the least. The music here, all freely improvised, has a warmth and immediacy that comes from intense, shared listening. Though there are no tunes or changes per se, that ...

Brad Russell: Let's Hear It!

Badass bassist Brad Russell takes care of business with cyclonic fretwork that might be expected from a whirling-dervish on steroids. Even though the digital-only release clocks in a little under 30 minutes, this debut solo endeavor contains largely memorable works, featuring guitar hero Joe Satriani and others on select tracks. Russell's busy session work ...

Hammer Klavier Trio: Rocket In The Pocket

Read "Rocket In The Pocket" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky
November 23, 2012

Power piano trios willing to plug-in are not the norm in jazz, but Hamburg's Hammer Klavier Trio, thankfully, never received that message. The music that they present completely erases the dividing lines between traditional piano trios, hard hitting threesomes like The Bad Plus, and genre-blending Euro-stars like the late Esbjörn Svensson Trio. This band has all ...
