Alain Bedard Auguste Quartet: Particules Sonores
by Dan McClenaghan
The experience of bassist Alain Bedard's Partcules Sonores begins--for those who read liner notes--with a rumination on “sound waves that interact with every particle of matter they encounter. The energy created is transported and diffused, becoming sound particles." Hm. A bit cerebral for some tastes, perhaps. But then jazz guys are known to go ...

Christopher Parnis: Everything You Could Be

Throw in some Kenny Wheeler influences and you have Everything You Could Be, the debut album from Canadian bassist Christopher Parnis. Parnis has been involved as a ...

Brenda Earle Stokes: Motherhood
by Dan Bilawsky
Motherhood is a salient subject if ever there was one. Yet few jazz musicians ever touch on it in their work, never mind dedicating an entire record to the topic. The real or keenly felt need to keep up with the Joneses in a musical atmosphere that typically applauds and promotes standard bearers, hyper-masculine happenings, politically ...
