How is it that a musician like reedsman Mat Walerian can drop straight out of the sky and into your ears? Where did he come from?

Spike Wilner: Koan

Read "Koan" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

I have an idea that pianist Spike Wilner has read Kenny Werner's book Effortless Mastery: Liberating The Master Musician Within (1996), because Koan emulates Werner's lessons in surrendering one's self to music. Werner's teachings on enlightenment flow through this trio recording, Wilner's sixth as a leader. As a disciple of Harlem stride and ragtime, ...

Nels Cline: Lovers

Read "Lovers" reviewed by Luca Canini

by Luca Canini

Anche gli esploratori più coraggiosi e solitari hanno bisogno di una casa. Se non altro per il gusto di andarsene; e per il piacere, prima o poi, di tornarci. Un posto del cuore, al centro dell'anima. Uno spazio nel quale sentirsi completi, leggeri, liberi; teneramente imprigionati in quel groviglio di emozioni e suggestioni che sono il ...

Read "Duke Ellington's Treasury Shows - Vol. 21" reviewed by Chris Mosey

by Chris Mosey

This volume of the Duke Ellington Treasury Shows commemorates the death on July 20 1946 of Joe “Tricky Sam" Nanton, one of the founding fathers of the band's early “jungle" sound that helped make its name at the Cotton Club. Nanton was the first musician to die with Ellington and the leader--a highly superstitious man--took it ...
