It's not remotely jazz, but it is very fine music indeed, and anyone with an interest in new music should find much to enjoy and ...

Guy Klucevsek: The Well-Tampered Accordion

by Andrew Durkin
February 15, 2005

I got one of my first impressions of the social status of the accordion from an article that appeared twenty or so years ago in Time magazine. The writer decried'--in laughable terms'--the “menace'? of the instrument, the sound of which he found abhorrent, given all its usual associations with the (underrated) genre of the polka. I ...

Various Artists: Cuadernos de Mexico

January 20, 2005

Spend more than a couple of days in Mexico and it becomes readily apparent that people there make music in a very different way than they do in the United States or much of Europe. Stop to sip tequila in a cantina, and musicians will stop by on a regular basis to offer a song, scattered ...

No: Sonny II

by AAJ Staff
October 10, 2004

Were it not for Bill Laswell's efforts in the '80s, guitarist Sonny Sharrock probably wouldn't have reached nearly as many ears as he did.
