Sideshow CD

More on Sideshow

"One of the 10 best cds of 2001" -John Schaefer, "New Sounds" (WNYC) Dec. 2001

"Highly unusual and exquisitely beautiful... Sideshow captures the ambiguously solemn and iconoclastic spirit of Ives to a T., conjuring not only the austere New England landscape that inspired him, but the particular mood of each song." -Downbeat, May 2002 (4 stars)

Sideshow is Matt Moran (vibraphone), Adam Good (guitar), Oscar Noriega (bass clarinet & alto saxophone), and John Hollenbeck (percussion). All compositions by Charles Edward Ives (1874-1954). Recorded November 1998 at Tedesco Studios by Jon Rosenberg.

Slavic Soul Party! CD

More on Slavic Soul Party!

"SSP!'s debut album has everything you could want in a record. Madcap rhythms, hyperactive horns, a sense of the absurd, and just a hint of abstract jazz. Songs... sparkle with clarinet, trombone, and cornet tripping gleefully over fistfuls of notes faster than you can say slivovitz." -NPR's All Things Considered, June 2002

"...some of the most danceable Balkan-flavored pop this side of the Adriatic... truly inspired - deftly segueing from staccato unison riffs to high-flying solos at the drop of a hat... Cut in the studios of Skopje radio station Jazz-FM, there is an immediacy and spontaneity to the set that's irresistible. ... Slavic Soul Party! is simply very talented musicians uninhibitedly exploring a music they love." -Global Rhythm, November 2002
