New Music From Lage, Tarentino, Berndt, Saber, Magris And More
by Bob Osborne
The breadth of content in the jazz world is captured in this selection of mostly new releases. From traditional post-bop workouts, through interpretations of popular songs, to full on invention and improvisation, this playlist demonstrates the variety of music which might be generally described as jazz but in reality covers a more complex set of variables. ...
Yelena Eckemoff: I Am a Stranger in This World
by Tyran Grillo
To feel estranged from one's own mind is among the quiet terrors of modern life. It is this condition, ancient yet urgently contemporary, that Yelena Eckemoff confronts on I Am a Stranger in This World, a double album that treats the Psalms of David not as scripture to be recited but as psychic terrain to be ...
Yelena Eckemoff: Colors live at KITO Bremen
by Tyran Grillo
Colors is less a suite than a life in motion, and in this solo performance at KITO Bremen, Yelena Eckemoff allows that life to unfold with an unguarded clarity that feels both intimate and elemental. What began as a duo project with drummer Manu Katché becomes, through circumstance and choice, a meditation stripped of all counterweights. ...

Reinvention has become part of her artistic language, and here it arrives with a new cast and a story told in patient detail. Kirk Knuffke appears on cornet, Masaru Koga on a flute modified with a shakuhachi ...
Yelena Eckemoff: Romance of the Moon
by Tyran Grillo
With Romance of the Moon, Yelena Eckemoff descends further into the symbolic night, carrying Federico García Lorca's poetry as a living grammar in her heart. This suite of 13 compositions does not illustrate the poems so much as converse with them, answering their obsessions with music that listens as intently as it speaks. Lorca's moons, bells, ...
Yelena Eckemoff: Scenes From the Dark Ages
by Tyran Grillo
Yelena Eckemoff has long composed as though mapping weather rather than terrain, tracing pressure systems of mood and atmosphere while leaving strict pulse to others. Her music often moves with purpose yet refuses the easy certainties of groove, circling rhythm instead of kneeling before it. This has never felt like abstinence or austerity. It feels more ...
Yelena Eckemoff: Nocturnal Animals
by Tyran Grillo
There is something quietly revelatory about music that chooses the night not as a backdrop but as a mode of thought. With Nocturnal Animals, pianist and composer Yelena Eckemoff enters this liminal terrain with rare attentiveness, offering an album that does not describe animals so much as think alongside them. This is music that crouches, listens, ...
