“Acustica < > Elettrica is a respectable orchestral rehearsal (recorded live in Sinigaglia's studio in September 2016) where the trio competes with two violins and cello, while Sinigaglia plays the piano and synth. The scores certainly seem complex to me, as far as I can understand them, especially in some situations; during the..

"Argentine edition of the third album by this Brazilian Fusion Jazz trio. Led by the Hermeto Pascoal’s band keyboardist, also cleverly injected certain Folk elements into the outfit's style, and set out to conquer the masses with their own renditions...

"The music of Trio Heinz Herbert is first and foremost a tonal experience. Broad arcs and ingenious geometric grooves give it its form. Spaces are created, pivotal points set, textures woven. Within these free markings the tonal chemistry begins to unfold its potential. Sometimes a space shuttle floats through an underwater garden, sometimes the sounds glisten like a cell under the microscope...

A cult Montreal jazz band, Trio Derome Guilbeault Tanguay is loved for its irresistable swing, audacity, sophisticated group playing, highly original repertoire and authentic style. Reeds, bass and drums by these 3 mainstays of Ambiances Magnetiques' s...

"Big Picture" by Trio M features pianist Myra Melford, bassist Mark Dresser, and drummer Matt Wilson, who was recently voted #1 Rising Star Drummer in the 2007 Downbeat Critics Poll. Trio M is a collectively led ensemble which brings together some of...

Between them, clarinetist Doug Wieselman, cellist Jane Scarpantoni and drummer Kenny Wollesen have played with nearly everyone who has set foot on a New York stage in the last ten years. But while it would be hard to predict exactly what a collaboratio...

This trio is very representative of the 'french improv scene'. Recently, people attending Musique Action Festival in Vandoeuvre were stunned by their breathtaking performance. Original instrumentation, musicians coming from very different musical field...

Trioscapes is a instrumental avant/fusion trio of sax/bass/drums. It was initiated by Dan Briggs, the bassist of the very popular Between The Buried and Me. Also featured in the group (because it's just a trio, everyone is heavily, heavily featured!) are saxist Walter Fancourt and drummer Matt Lynch. This is aggressive, ass-kicking, modern jazz/rock that includes elements of metal (it's very heavy) and elements of the avant-garde. Everyone plays really well and the whole thing holds together really well...

“Caronte 50 Years Later is the new studio album by The Trip led by historical drummer and leader Pino "Caronte" Sinnone. The historic album Caronte, released in 1971, would have turned 50 and for the occasion was recorded in full by the new formation of the band with a more current sound.
Today the band consists of Andrea "Ranfa" Ranfagni (vocals), Carmine Capasso (vocals, guitars, sitar, theremin), Tony Alemanno (bass, backing vocals), Andrea "Dave" D'Avino (hammond, piano, backing vocals)...

"It is not an overstatement to say that Ken Vandermark is an unavoidable figure in the north-American jazz of the last two decades. Born in 1964, in Warwick, Rhode Island, the musician, composer and arranger started his musical studies in his childhood,

"Figure in the Carpet is a darker journey for Triptet, with explorations about the loneliness of space travel and the isolation of technology. The opening track pushes listeners out of a spaceship, into a desolate world where uncertainty and danger...

Anyone who has ever asked me "who are some of your musicial heroes?" has had to listen to me prattle on about Lennie Tristano. So, I'll spare you. This is from his last European concert tour. Recorded 10/31/65, it's a solo piano recital, which isn't th...

"The TRITOP project was born in 2008 from an idea of Ivo Di Traglia (drums) and Roberto Sandirocco (keyboards), joined later by lacopo Di Traglia (bass and vocals) and Yuri Massaro (guitar).
The quartet, initially called Wanderlust, started off very well and would end up performing in many locations in Central and Southern Italy. Due to personal reasons, the project was forced to suspend its live performances. Despite this, Ivo continued writing music and looking for new band members with the...

Triumvirat were an *extremely* ELP-styled band from Germany. This 1976 release has some changes, as Barry Palmer joined, replacing Helmut Koellen. Some folks think that this is one of their better ones, even though Koellen is missed. This remastered v...

Warren Dale is a keyboardist and woodwind man who has been a member of both French TV and Trap. His work with those ensembles will give you an idea of some of what this album with his new band is about, as this is a solid avant-progressive styled...

Trojan Horse are a young, noisy, modern progressive rock band, but they are modern not in the 'crunchy/metallic' sense, but more in the post punk sense, ala Knifeworld.

In fact, even though they don't sound a damn thing like Knifeworld...

"The Norwegian quartet The Tronosonic Experience are releasing their eponymous debut album. The album was recorded live in three intense December days at Ocean Sound Recordings, a studio located literally on brink of the Atlantic Ocean on the remote island of Giske on the western coast of Norway. The Tronosonic Experience represents a departure from Losen Records rooster of jazz artists, and is a powerful outing of instrumental rock. The band describes their music as "punk-jazzavant- rock", and is...

"Heather Trost is best known for her work composing and performing as one half of A Hawk And A Hacksaw. She has also played with Neutral Milk Hotel, Beirut, Josephine Foster, and most recently Thor Harris of Swans. She has arranged and performed with the BBC Concert Orchestra, as well as conductor Andre De Ridder and his Stargaze Orchestra, and toured throughout the world.
In 2014 she released her first solo project, a 7-inch on Ba Da Bing Records, followed in 2015 by Ourobouros, a limited edition..

Nice to see a quality reissue of this 1981 electronic music release; we carried this in its original lp format when it was first released by Rolf himself in the early 80s.
Rolf worked with the great Günter Schickert in the late 70s, performing live, improvised concerts with him and this music, while not featuring Schickert, is based on that experience, so while it isn't 'analog paradise', it is also firmly rooted in the classic style and mental space of the classic Berlin-style electronic sound....

Baptiste is a rising star of the French jazz scene and has had a few albums also released internationally. He's a great pianist with some superficial similarities to Keith Jarrett (although I don't think he yells at the audience), but he's definitely...

"What a stunning achievement! Italian reedman Gianluigi Trovesi is at his best in this new album, which also feautures Umberto Petrin on piano and Fulvio Maras on percussions and electronics. But what what kind of music is this? Is it jazz? Is it...

“For six decades, Robin Trower's career has been an act of quiet rebellion. Rewind the reels of the British guitarist's backstory and you'll find an artist who has always rolled the dice rather than take the path of least resistance. Fast-forward to 2023 and Trower's new studio album, Joyful Sky, represents vindication for his latest flash of artistic instinct.
Always receptive to singers who can elevate his emotive guitar touch, the 78-year-old heard a quality in the smoky power of the acclaimed...

Seeing Trower about 4-5 years ago gave me a profoundly strong respect for him as a guitarist and bandleader. I hope I sound this good at 70!

"March 9th is Robin Trower’s 70th birthday and we are the ones who get a present that day with the...
