Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York ~ Entity
Satoko Fujii has been a presence in avant-garde jazz since the late 1990s. She has released albums prolifically, as a solo pianist, or in duets and ensembles. Her most remarkable achievements have been as leader and composer for big bands.

Luke Howard Trio ~ The Shadow EP
In this unprecedented year, some things never change. In this case, it’s us reviewing a Luke Howard record ~ although despite this being their fourth release, we haven’t until now covered the trio that one of our favourite pianists fronts.

Methods Body ~ S/T
The self-titled album from Methods Body is engaging and unpredictable, beginning in one place and ending where few might expect. The LP is broken into two parts, “Quiet” and “Claimed Events,” each with its own sub-movements. Contrary to expectation, “Quiet” is anything

Lost Tribe Sound ~ Fearful Void Series
Our Label of the Year in 2019 returns with a vengeance in 2020. One would think that the title Fearful Void was a response to the current crisis, but it has actually been in the works for years. The same label that

Jon Brooks ~ How to Get to Spring
How to Get to Spring? That’s a good question right now, given our current circumstances. But Jon Brooks‘ title does not contain an interrogative; it’s more of a manual. The short teaser video displays a montage of cover art, a snowflake

Whale Fall ~ It Will Become Itself
First things first: that’s a W on the cover, not a III, and this is Whale Fall‘s 4th album. Now that we’ve cleared up any confusion, check out that Pacific Blue vinyl! It’s deep and dark enough for a whale to
