New #review today: "Back on their 2012 album A Little Bit of Big Bonanza, #BushmansRevenge covered #SonnySharrock’s “As We Used to Sing,” and that gives us a good idea where they get their idea of jazz from. On Ah, les Vaches! they carry on in the same basic vein they’ve been mining for as long as I’ve been aware of them. At one end of the spectrum, they play loose, noisy #jazz in Sharrock’s idiom, and at the other, they drift off into effects-laden atmospheric haze." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #KarismaRecords #IsItJazzRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/bushmans-revenge-ah-les-vaches-2.html

New #review today: "Sometimes you have to give up trying to make sense of the world and just accept things as they are. For example, why is there a band called #HoneyRideMeAGoat? I don’t know why they’re called that, but I do know that they’re a really interesting band, so I suppose they need a name. The group’s origins go back to 2000, when some students at Canterbury College bonded over a shared love of Captain Beefheart, Black Sabbath, and Soft Machine." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #AvantRock #AvantProg http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/honey-ride-me-a-goat-horns-hooves-2.html

New #review today: "#DiegoPiñera is a #jazz drummer originally from Uruguay, though he’s been based in Berlin for some time now, and his music certainly takes after those European artists who incorporate Classical influences into their jazz. This is especially true on Romanian Dance, where #BélaBartók is the primary reference." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #ChamberJazz #JohnPatitucci #DavidKikoski http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/diego-pinera-romanian-dance-evidence-2.html

New #review today: "I wasn’t sure what to expect from this trio led by #JérémieTernoy, one of the founding members of #TOC, a group that mostly dwells in the realms of improvisation. Surprisingly, most of the six tracks herein seem fully composed, with a loose enough feel to make them appropriate for the #jazz idiom." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/jeremie-ternoy-trio-survol-a-basse-altitude-3.html

New #review today: "#Spinifex is an #AvantJazz group based in Amsterdam, though its members come from various countries. Led by artistic director and chief composer #TobiasKlein on alto sax, the membership has changed somewhat over the years. Undrilling the Hole features seven energetic tracks of unpredictable music that ranges between tightly coordinated arrangements and free-blowing chaos." #ExposeOnline #FreeJazz #PunkJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/spinifex-undrilling-the-hole-maxximus-2.html
