Masada Quintet Featuring Joe Lovano: Stolas: Book of Angels, Volume 12
by Troy Collins
John Zorn's Masada project has blossomed over the past decade and a half, demonstrating durability in the face of multiple interpretations.

Uri Caine Ensemble: The Othello Syndrome
by Martin Longley

Schumann, Wagner, Bach, Beethoven and Mahler have fallen to sometimes radical re-posturing of their grand scores. Caine messes with the old assumed interpretations, deliberately distorting the usual expectations of performance by inserting elements of jazz, rock, funk, ...
