Dumbsaint ~ Disappearance in a Minor Role – Part III: Celeste
Let’s address the odd fact first: Part III is actually part one of a short film trilogy and soundtrack, deliberately presented out of order. These interlocking pieces are meant to create a sense of mystery, with secrets to be revealed in

Nick Gill ~ On neni jako on
One hour, four chords, numerous permutations: the idea shouldn’t work, but it does. The score to a Czech production by a German writer, On neni jako on reflects the nature of the play like a cracked mirror. Multiple disciplines join at this

Good Willsmith ~ The Honeymoon Workbook
The words “recorded live with no overdubs” are overused, but in this case they make an important statement. The trio of Good Willsmith had to be on point at all times for this venture to work. One slip and the entire project

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

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
