  MW Music Review Blog — Authority: 421

• CD Review: Jon Gordon – Evolution

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 119
  The jazz saxophonist’s latest album is aptly titled. He’s evolving in all directions, whether in jazz, classical or further toward the avant as the course of his career has recently swung. It wouldn’t be an insult to say that this is the kind of cd that could wean someone off of smooth jazz – it’s melodic, ...

  Matt Weston – “Seasick Blackout” – 7272 MusicThis is not an EP. It’s a three-track, sixteen-minute treasure, filled to the brim with Weston’s signature percussion and electronics. If Tom Waits was an orca (a drunken orca, natch) then he’d make music like “You’re Not That’s Right,” which opens the ...

• Minamo - Kuroi Kawa/Black River (Tzadik, 2009) ****

  
  Free Jazz — Authority: 125
  Two years ago I was quite enthusiastic by the release of the " Minamo ", a live album by Satoko Fujii and Carla Kihlstedt, who now get the possibility to continue their collaboration on the better known Tzadik label, and I hope it will give them more exposure. Fujii has been one of my favorite musicians of the last ...

  Various Artists – “Crows of the World, Volume 2″ – Last Visible DogIt took an extra year, but economics being what they are, I’m still happy to see Volume 2 of this set make it out of the gate. As nearly as I can tell this is an entirely new group of artists for this [...]

  Terror Noise Audio — Authority: 122
  "A writhing, contorting, nauseating, sensational screamingfuckingbloodymess, the 33-year-old Australian glassjaw who performs as Justice Yeldham And The Dynamic Ribbon Device has a show so visceral, so alive, that it can move a room full of the most jaded noisenrrds to gaping-mouthed wonderment.

• Concert Review: The Borromeo String Quartet at Jordan Hall, Boston MA 11/30/09

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 119
  The Borromeo String Quartet hardly need the press, but it was awfully nice to be able to catch them in concert. As expected, they brought an element of transcendence to what was, at least from this particular vantage point, a crazy weekend. And it was encouraging to see a good crowd come out for what was a ...

Left without a star to finish his film, Gilliam re-worked the story so three other actors could rotate in the same role ( Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell , and Jude Law ). Here is the first look ...

  Startling Moniker — Authority: 129
  Tristan Perich contacted me a few minutes ago, to hip me (and you!) to tonight’s activities at the Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center. This is why I wish Lemp was a little closer. And now, watch me cheat the blogging gods by quoting liberally from Perich’s e-mail:“I’m a New York-based composer, lugging a ...

• Vocals, vocals, vocals ...

  
  Free Jazz — Authority: 125
  I am not usually a fan of vocal jazz, let alone spoken word and jazz, for reasons explained earlier and elsewhere. From classical opera over musicals to avant-garde vocals, the artificial changes enforced on the vocal chords create an emotional distance to me, rather than the opposite, in a way that I cant really ...
