This is a live EP from drummer and composer Mareike Wiening recorded in Switzerland with her great band. Wonderful writing and playing. Look for a new studio album soon! Dave Douglas

Emi Makabe brings an intensely original mix of elements together into a fresh and personal statement. As a vocalist, shamisen player, and composer, Emi brings us to a new place with this music. Dave Douglas

This is one of the albums that really sweep me away, no matter which track I'm listening to, and its pleasantly long running time of almost 80 minutes guarantees a maximum sweeping effect. Basically, Matt Ulery is a jazz musician and composer playing the double bass, but the magic he creates on this and other albums is well beyond the confines of the genre. The brilliant varied orchestrations clearly put it into a neo-classical chamber music frame, frequently reminding me of Argentine chamber folk, and the smooth vocals contributed by Grażyna Auguścik and Sarah Marie Young add considerably to the magic, as does the piano work of Rob Clearfield, who's a great composer himself.
