Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz: Two Not One
by Chris Mosey
In 1975, the members of a musical appreciation society called The Danish Jazz Exchange clubbed together to bring their two favorite American improvisers, Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz, to their homeland.

Samo Salamon & Aljosa Jeric Quartet: Mamasaal feat. Mark Turner
by Nic Jones
The modern mainstream doesn't often get as rarefied as this, and that very point is one of this quartet's greatest strengths. Guitarist Samo Salamon's playing is rhythmically ambiguous with a happily singular mellowness, and it's abundantly obvious that tenor saxophonist Mark Turner)), at the worst of times one of the most singular voices out there, finds ...
