What's With This Uncool Surge in Jazz Bashing?
How did jazz lose its position as America’s homegrown musical treasure to lately become a symbol of pretentiousness and 'eat-your-broccoli art'? Jazz doesn’t get much coverage in the mainstream media, and hasn’t for many years. But something strange has happened during the last four months. Over a period of just a few weeks, a host of ...

by Dan Bilawsky
The concept of equilibrium is all about the balancing of opposing forces, actions, or influences; the music of Equilibrium is largely about the same, though some twists, focal point shifts, and ambient sound plays complicate and muddy the concept a bit. Equilibrium--a trio comprised of Belgian clarinetist Joachim Badenhorst, Danish guitarist Mikkel Ploug, ...

Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique: Live at Cadogan Hall: Beethoven – Symphonies 2 & 8
by C. Michael Bailey
The 2012 release of Live at Carnegie Hall: Beethoven Symphonies 7 & 5 (Soli Deo Gloria) was a tease.

Chelsey Green and The Green Project: Green Room
by Hrayr Attarian
Violinist and violist Chelsey Green's first full-length album as a leader Green Room is an ambitious but rather uneven project. Green whose playing style is a successful mélange of concert hall virtuosity, jazzy spontaneity and vibrant pop sensibilities, composed most of the music on the disc. And although the tunes have catchy melodies and memorable passages ...
