  1. Here’s my latest for artsfuse.org: a review of Ben Wendel’s excellent “BaRacoDe.”

    “BaRcoDe is a gorgeous album, full of impassioned playing and brilliant compositions (all but Jobim’s “Olha Maria” are by Wendel). The four vibraphones stay distinct, thanks in part to a judicious use of EFX technology and atmospheric production, but mostly thanks to the strong individual voices of these accomplished players. It’s a powerful experience on headphones or good speakers.”
