Jaimie Branch: 7 Steps To Heaven
by Chris May
Following the 2024 re-election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, and his subsequent ratification as President-for-Life, the US Constitution was suspended. Jaimie Branch, who had passed in 2022, was one of many musicians, film makers, writers and visual artists whose work, no longer protected by the First Amendment, was declared Un-American and its ...
Jaimie Branch: Fly Or Die Fly Or Die Fly Or Die ((World War))
by Chris May
As the malign forces of Amerikkka gather for their 2024 assault on truth, justice and democracy, an assault from which, if it is successful, there may be no peaceable reversal available four years down the line, the American jazz world should hang its head in shame. Denunciations of and opposition to the rise of domestic neo-fascism ...
Sun Ra: The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra - 60th Anniversary Edition
by Doug Collette
Produced by Tom Wilson, the same man who also helmed recordings by the Mothers of Invention, Bob Dylan and the Velvet Underground, The Futuristic Sounds Of Sun Ra may belie its title when described as one of the most accessible titles in his lengthy discography.

E lo fa presentando un ennesimo lavoro di altissimo livello, altro ...

by Geoff Anderson
Bryan Ferry Paramount Theater Denver, CO August 3, 2017 Bryan Ferry creates dreamscapes. Dark, ethereal, eerie, brooding, a little bit spooky, but not too scary. You're floating in dreamland; maybe you're aware that you're dreaming; maybe not. But it's a really good dream and you know you don't want to leave ...
Jose Mauro: Obnoxius
by Chris M. Slawecki
The oddly-titled Obnoxius bears precious little, and yet quite curious, baggage. Little is known about its original 1971 release other than it came out on a label founded by Brazilian producer Roberto Quartin, who also worked with Eumir Deodato. We seem to know even less about songwriter, guitarist, vocalist and arranger Jose Mauro. We ...

by Chris M. Slawecki
Dave Fiuczynski Flam! Blam! Pan-Asian Microjam! RareNoise Records 2016 Simultaneously dedicated to 20th century classical composer Olivier Messiaen and legendary rap and hip-hop producer J Dilla, Flam! Blam! Pan-Asian Microjam! is a musical adventurer's dream and a purist's nightmare. But anything more conventional from conceptualist, composer and guitarist ...
Phil Mer, Andrea Lombardini: The Framers
by Neri Pollastri
Lavoro coraggioso, originale e sorprendente questo The Framers, frutto della creatività di due musicisti che mettono eccellentemente a frutto la loro ampia (e forse anche un po' pericolosa...") ecletticità: Phil Mer--batterista, ma anche laureato in storia dell'arte e attivo in ambito pop (è tra l'altro l'attuale batterista dei Pooh...)--e Andrea Lombardini, sperimentatore del basso elettrico, da ...
