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: "We have previously encountered cellist #JanelLeppin as half of #JanelAndAnthony, as leader of #EnsembleVolcanicAsh, and as a member of Skullcap, but she’s got a lot more going on than just those releases. 2026 sees Cuneiform releasing a pair of albums under her name: Slowly Melting is a true solo effort, while Pluto in Aquarius is another album with Ensemble Volcanic Ash." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #AvantRock #ExperimentalMusic #AnthonyPirog #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/janel-leppin-slowly-melting-pluto-in-aquarius-2.html

New #review today: "Here we have #TrioOfBloom, with #NelsCline (guitar), #CraigTaborn (keyboards), and #MarcusGilmore (drums). This is by far the most improvisational of the bands, as you might expect from having Cline on board, and he’s in full out-there mode for most of this album." #ExposeOnline #ExperimentalMusic #AvantJazz #PyroclasticRecords #jazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/trio-of-bloom-trio-of-bloom-2.html

New #review today: "It might be easy to think of #Skullcap as #JanelAndAnthony plus one — that one being drummer / percussionist #MikeKuhl — but the personnel is where the similarities end, as this trio forms a complete group effort, from the bold compositions to the arrangements and execution." #ExposeOnline #AvantJazz #ProgressiveRock #JanelLeppin #AnthonyPirog #CuneiformRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/skullcap-snakes-of-albuquerque-3.html

New #review today: "#LocationLocationLocation is a jazzy guitar trio that, for me, hits a sweet spot balancing composition and improvisation on their debut, Damaged Goods. While #AnthonyPirog’s guitar is far more mangled, both electronically and harmonically, than is common in jazz, the group’s music is clearly in the vein previously mined by groups led by #RaoulBjörkenheim, #TerjeRypdal, #SonnySharrock, #NelsCline, and others." #ExposeOnline #jazz #AvantJazz #JazzRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/location-location-location-damaged-goods-2.html

Here's a new #review for Ensemble Volcanic Ash by #JanelLeppin. "The seven-piece ensemble has been in the works for several years, and operates firmly in jazz territory, although it’s probably not like any jazz you’ve heard before, unless you’re on a steady diet of Alice Coltrane, which this does bear some similarities to..." #ExposeOnline #jazz #cello #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/janel-leppin-ensemble-volcanic-ash-3.html
