Alex Zethson / John Jutterström – It Could / If I a duo album that takes a laid-back look at some revisions of classics, as well as a few newly minted pieces. The selection of covers takes in Leonard Cohen, Pet Shop Boys and nineteenth century composer Alexander Fesca amongst others. The title of the album refers to the the names of the songs, with them either starting with "It Could" or "If I", and therefore it is an eclectic selection. #jazzreview #musicreview https://freq.org.uk/reviews/alex-zethson-john-jutterstrom-it-could-if-i/

Vilhelm Bromander Unfolding Orchestra – Jordan Vi Ärvde There is a real sense of humanity that shines through Jordan Vi Ärvde and the long form of the pieces allows them to swell incrementally, stretching and reflecting the dichotomy between the mellower tones and the more anxious elements. #jazzreview #bigband https://freq.org.uk/reviews/vilhelm-bromander-unfolding-orchestra-jordan-vi-arvde/

Elsa Nilsson and Martin Fabricius – Glaciers Jazzfuel Vibraphonist Martin Fabricius first met flautist Elsa Nilsson back in 2017 and it has taken this long for their paths to cross with instruments in hand and actually record. As on last year’s album with Randi Pontopiddian, Martin is more than happy to allow his collaborator to take the lead which, considering Elsa’s unique approach to the instrument and her extraordinary range of tone. #flute #vibraphone #jazzreview https://freq.org.uk/reviews/elsa-nilsson-and-martin-fabricius-glaciers/

Angle Shades ..the trio of Richard Jones on piano, Joshua Cavanagh-Brierly on bass and Johnny Hunter on drums has re-entered the studio .. Twirler is an effusive and idiosyncratic collection of pieces that only cements the connection between the trio. #jazz #jazzreview freq.org.uk/reviews/angl...

Angle Shades – Twirler Angle Shades is the new moniker for the Richard Jones Trio whose previous album, itself entitled Angle Shades, was a joyful take on the #jazz #piano trio format. A couple of years has passed and the trio of Richard on piano, Joshua Cavanagh-Brierly on bass and Johnny Hunter on drums has re-entered the studio to see what further magic can be summoned. #jazzreview https://freq.org.uk/reviews/angle-shades-twirler/

Yonglee and The Doltang – Invisible Worker ...this debut album from pianist Yonglee and his group The Doltang is definitely an unusual beast, connecting dots between jazz, prog and the heavier more awkward end of US underground. 

Yonglee's capricious piano attack combines with synths, bass drums and guitar to form a unique sound that also harbours improv and experimentation, as well as hidden melodies that hark back to elements of history

Today we have a new #review for Thumbscrew's Multicolored Midnight. "With Multicolored Midnight, #Thumbscrew returns to their own compositions after a diversion into Anthony Braxton’s world, so it’s quite expected that the album sounds basically like a typical Thumbscrew album. So if you’re familiar with any of their previous releases, you know what to expect — which isn’t a bad thing at all if you liked the music." http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/thumbscrew-multicolored-midnight-2.html #ExposeOnline #jazz #JazzReview

Here's a new review for Mulberry Street Symphony by Anders Koppel. "Having recently suffered through a most unpleasant melding of jazz with strings, I will now tackle Anders Koppel’s Mulberry Street Symphony, which combines a jazz trio with a full orchestra. I am happy to report that Koppel is vastly more successful at this task." http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/anders-koppel-mulberry-street-symphony-2.html #review #ExposeOnline #JazzReview
