Review by Dawoud Kringle
On Tuesday, February 24th, Le Poisson Rouge played host to an important event which was sponsored by the NY chapter of the Content Creators Coalition. One that may well be a landmark in the unfolding of the way that the music business is conducted.

Review by Dawoud Kringle
UllU is the Hindi word for owl. In South Asian tradition, the owl is thought of as a foolish bird (unlike the opposite assessment in Western tradition). This is the surface appearance presented by UllU, a duo consisting of Chris McIntyre (trombone, Nord Lead 2) and David Shively (feedback, drumkit, tapes, combo organ, and siren). The duo produced, edited, and mastered the recording.
Artist: Sebastian Schunke
Title: Genesis, Mystery and Magic
Label: Nwog Records
Genre: jazz/latin jazz
CD Review by Matt Cole
Genesis, Mystery, and Magic is the sixth album from Berlin-based pianist and composer Sebastian Schunke. Joining him on this effort are Alex Sipiagan on trumpet and flugelhorn; Nils Wogram (who I was glad to see, having much enjoyed his 2012 Septet album Complete Soul); Hans Glawischnig on bass, Diego Pinera on drums, and Pernell Saturnino on percussion.

On a winter night The Multi Organic Trio appeared at the Bar Next Door, a quiet out of the way place in the village. The Multi-Organic Trio is comprised of Nora McCarthy (vocals), Aruan Ortiz (keyboard), Ratzo Harris (bass), and Jorge Sylvester (sax)
