Kiefer – ‘Happysad’ (Album Review)

October 10, 2018 By Daniel Palmer

The West Coast, and more specifically, the LA-based jazz scene, has had a bit of a resurgence in the past decade. While the Brainfeeder label has dominated the headlines, Kiefer Shackelford has certainly cemented a place in defining the post-millennium Los Angeles jazz sound. While his work is undeniably rooted in jazz, his genre-spanning work is in many ways dramatically … [Read more...]

Jesse Fischer – ‘Flipped II’ (Album Review)

August 14, 2018 By Daniel Palmer

Let me come out the gate with a strong statement: I firmly believe that the Young Lions movement is one of the worst things to ever happen to jazz.

Gregory Sallet Quintet – ‘Le Mouvement Cree la Matiere’

October 25, 2017 By Daniel Palmer

Of his new album, Gregory Sallet has said that Le Mouvement Crée la Matière is “an act of transformation”. Music can create a truly transformative experience, with the potential of eliciting a range of emotions and thought processes previously unrealized. Great jazz not only holds these characteristics but goes a step further and shatters preconceived notions of what the genre … [Read more...]
