Devin Sinha: The Seventh Season

Read "The Seventh Season" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


A resident of Seattle, WA, singer/songwriter Devin Sinha's Midwestern upbringing casts a folkish muse, paralleled by the rustic album cover artwork illustrating a wheat field and weather worn fence. But Sinha incorporates a touch of the forever hip Pacific Northwest Indie rock panorama as he poses an articulate view of life's experiences, here on his second ...

David Friesen: Waterfall Rainbow

Read "David Friesen: Waterfall Rainbow" reviewed by John Kelman


David FriesenWaterfall RainbowInner City1977 Today's Rediscovery is Waterfall Rainbow, from a bassist who garnered significant attention back in the '70s and '80s, but sadly never sustained it for reasons unknown--certainly nothing to do with his talent--and has, in the decades since, remained an active player, but one largely forgotten by the ...

The Westerlies: Wish the Children Would Come on Home

Read "Wish the Children Would Come on Home" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Due trombe, due tromboni quattro fiati che soffiano le note della musica di Wayne Horvitz, presente con le sue tastiere in qualche brano, ma in maniera discreta, in punta di piedi, ad assicurare un contatto fisico con la sua musica da dietro le quinte, per non disturbare e lasciare massima libertà ai giovani interpreti.

Chamber 3: Grassroots

Read "Grassroots" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Do different geographies create different sounds? New York-hard and brassy, in your face and boppish; the Nordic countries--cool and reflective, spacious and dreamy; the American Midwest, Chicago and Detroit--soulful and hip with a hard urban edge. This is, of course, a simplification, with exceptions flying all over the place, but distinct similarities in sounds can be ...

Thomas Marriott: Urban Folklore

Read "Urban Folklore" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Nothing has hit quite as hard as recent music from the trio of pianist Orrin Evans, bassist Eric Revis and Drummer Donald Edwards. The three musicians seek out (or probably are sought by) collaborators of equal weight and energy. It is not surprising that this recording of nine compositions, led by trumpeter and Seattle native Thomas ...
