Filed under: All About Jazz Last week, I dedicated this column to live reviews of sets by Herbie Hancock and Vijay Iyer . Both are pianists, but while Hancock struggles to remain relevant in the eyes of his public, it seems that the public has found relevance in the work of Iyer, who has gained a lot of acclaim in recent years, which has translated to fannies in the seats. This week, we turn to the horn players. I've got no amazing new talent to celebrate, but I [...]
Öyle albümü edinildiğinde zırt diye incelenemeyecek, özümsenmesi ve iyice benimsenmesi gereken isimlerden bir tanesi Nils Petter Molvaer (NPM).

Au fost cel putin doua concerte tari in fiecare [...]

Okay so it's not Friday! But we still got some fresh music for you. I got busy, it happens. Actually I'm in the mood for lots of Jazz so I decided to dig up so new and old Jazz-esque tracks. Some old, some nu, acid etc. It's all really dope stuff. If you just listen to this mix you see that the Jazz sound has evolved so much and the dynamic of what people are doing to it these days is incredible. The elders never saw it coming. But soon after all the sound has changed, [...]

Nils Petter Molvaer is a trumpet player, composer, and producer from Norway. He fuses jazz, ambient, breakbeats, and drum and bass on his newest American release, An American Compilation . You can hear most of the styles come through on "Nebulizer", which splits itself between gentle ambiance and aggressive beat smashing madness.
