Art Edmaiston & Chad Fowler: Memphis Mandala
by Glenn Astarita
Recorded live in Memphis, Memphis Mandala is led by Art Edmaiston on tenor and soprano saxophones, alongside Chad Fowler's work on stritch and flute. They are backed by a rhythm section that intuitively knows when to push the accelerator and when to let the engine idle in neutral. The result is collective improvisation--with two drummers--that feels ...
Art Edmaiston / Chad Fowler: Memphis Mandala
by Mark Corroto
We often approach recordings as if they were live performances: fully present in the moment, deeply engaged, and then rarely revisited. Like a concert, the sounds drift into the ether, lingering in memory and, perhaps, subtly reshaping the listener's internal landscape. Yet Memphis Mandala, the 2024 live collaboration between saxophonists Art Edmaiston and Chad ...
Steve Hirsh: Root Causes
by Mark Corroto
Although Steve Hirsh's name appears on the masthead of Root Causes, you might not immediately recognize it as a drummer-led recording.

The album features a classic piano ...

Think about the obsessive hunters of 78 rpm blues records from backwoods artists of ...
Hirsh / Swell / Clouse / Parker: Out On A Limb
by Mark Corroto
Can déjà vu be contagious? Or at least a particular quality or disposition that is communicable? This might be the question to ask after sitting down with Out On A Limb by the improvising quartet of Steve Hirsh, Steve Swell, Jim Clouse, and William Parker. The music this unit created spontaneously in April 2024 does not ...
John Lurie, Isaiah Collier, Dan Weiss & Steph Richards
by Maurice Hogue
John Lurie hasn't recorded any music since contracting Lyme disease several years ago; in fact he couldn't even listen to music because of the neurological effects of the disease. He retreated to someplace in the Caribbean then finally improved enough to come back to the US and made Painting With John for HBO. Lurie's music which ...
Ivo Perelman, Chad Fowler, Reggie Workman and Andrew Cyrille: Embracing the Unknown

The label is also doing ...
