Kassa Overall’s ‘I THINK I’M GOOD’ Album Reviewed

January 8, 2020 By Rob Shepherd

Kassa Overall I Think I'm Good

The human brain is incredibly powerful. It controls every function of our bodies, allows us to reason, and permits us to both create and appreciate art. To do so, it uses 100 billion neurons, each of which fires around 200 times every second. Given its necessary complexity, it should come as no surprise how frequently the organ malfunctions.

The Bridge Trio – ‘The Search: Departure’

September 8, 2015 By Anthony Dean-Harris

The Bridge Trio sticks to your ribs. This is very much an idiomatic expression, rooted in American soul about fulfillment, satisfaction, and sustenance. There's a quality to this band that is akin to a good meal. The music of pianist Conun Pappas, Jr., bassist Max Moran, and drummer Joe Dyson isn't that of the usual piano trio.
