New #review today: "Most of the recent #DiscusMusic label releases by #PaulDunmall that we have reviewed here featured expansive groups of six or more players: Bright Light A Joyous Celebration was a sextet, Red Hot Ice was a nonet, and the most recent, Away with Troubles and Anxieties from 2025, was an eleven-piece; one would figure from that trajectory that the next one would be a fifteen piece band, but instead he’s dialed Afraid to Speak back to a quintet for all but the closing track, which features six." #ExposeOnline #Jazz #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/paul-dunmall-afraid-to-speak-3.html

New #review today: "We last caught up with #PaulDunmall for his 2024 album Red Hot Ice, as well as his collaboration with Laura Jurd in the same year, Fanfares & Freedom. There were about four more releases since, on labels other than #DiscusMusic, but to my knowledge Away with Troubles and Anxieties is his latest, and seems to have more in common with Red Hot Ice..." #ExposeOnline #jazz #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/paul-dunmall-away-with-troubles-and-anxieties-3.html

New #review today: "It was about a year ago when this writer was diligently listening to #PaulDunmall’s sextet release Bright Light A Joyous Celebration. Since that time we have heard him on his collaborative effort with Laura Jurd, or more specifically a merging of his quartet with Jurd’s quintet. Now we have Red Hot Ice, a smoking nonet working their #FreeJazz mojo on Dunmall’s extended compositions plus a few shorter pieces as well." #ExposeOnline #jazz #DiscusMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/paul-dunmall-red-hot-ice-3.html
