An unheard Don Cherry performance from the start of the 80s – and easily one of his most powerful recordings from the time! The vibe here is very free, open, and bold – with Don blowing much sharper notes on trumpet than some of his airier recordings of the 70s – urged on by the ... (Jazz) read moreCD

About May 18, 2018
Pianist Aruan Ortiz really blows us away here – working on three long tracks that show a completely unique approach to the piano, but one that's as melodically pleasing as it is experimental! The trio features the great Chad Taylor on drums, and also on a bit of mbira – and Ortiz ... (Jazz) read moreCD

Drummer Joey Baron's demonstrated this ability for years, but maybe not as strongly as on this recent album with ... (Jazz) read moreCD

Drummer Lucas Niggli can ... (Jazz) read moreCD
