Ákos Garai ~ The Imagined River
With The Imagined River, we step once more into the River Taurion ~ the same river, a different river, a real river, an imagined river. At this point in the ongoing La Rivière series, Cédric Peyronnet’s original recordings have become secondary to the impressions

Innercity Ensemble ~ II
Innercity Ensemble‘s II is a study in black and white, but in these improvisations the colors are not always what one might expect. Each entry comes across as a riff on a theme. The contrast yields to synthesis, much in the same

Ben Jacov ~ Transalp
Transalp wasn’t recorded in the Alps, nor does it sound particularly frosty; but the cover image connotes cold, reflecting Ben Jacov’s desire to find a place in which all color and contour are lost. The artist celebrates the experience of white ~

Charles-Eric Charrier ~ Petite Soeur
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from bassist / pianist Charles-Eric Charrier, who last impressed us with 2011’s elegant Silver. He moves in two directions on Petite Soeur, polishing his sound on the vinyl portion while saving his deeper experiments for

Bmbu ~ reBuilder
Philadelphia’s Bmbu produces American hip hop at its finest. John Michael Alsace’s beats are rock solid and his star spangled, sophisticated instrumentation is a sight to behold. Anyone can grab hold of a sample, but it’s the flow of the final product

Maxwell August Croy and Sean McCann ~ I
The first team-up for these noteworthy musicians, I is a lovely and original-sounding release. Last year, Sean McCann‘s Music for Private Ensemble made a big splash around these parts, as the artist performed every part himself. We were hoping to hear a collaboration, for

Section 27 ~ Sectioned v4.0
Why would one take the time to listen to a 101-track, eight hour compilation? That’s easy ~ if one likes the type of music, is eager to hear more, and is open to the discovery of new artists, one will

Montag ~ Trepezzi
Italian quartet Montag makes a huge splash with its debut release Trepezzi: half an hour of hard-edged, quality post-rock in the vein of Neil On Impression. We’ve missed this sort of music. Montag isn’t trying to lull or cross over; the concentration is
