‘Live in Someplace Nice’ is a welcome addition to the thin catalog of the short-lived endlessly inventive duo of Tim Berne and Bill Frisell.

For ‘Adityahridayam 321,’ David Torn is leveraging technology and musicianship in the service of impulsive creativity like no one else can.

David Torn, Tom Rainey, Tim Berne & Trevor Dunn came together make an instant album that’s explosive, urgent and intense, even when it isn’t loud.

In the end, the Sunny Five’s ‘Candid’ is a jam record but in this case, the jams expose just how scary talented this assemblage truly is.

The the music of ‘MYSTIC’ by the expanded Sun of Goldfinger ensemble The Sunny Four lives entirely in the moment while justifying multiple moments re-hearing it.

Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, David Torn and others spent two years creating ‘Through the Wire,’ a tribute to the “artistry and humanity” of Peter Gabriel.

Sun of Goldfinger’s ‘OZMIR’ is strangely enchanting even as it challenges you, and the only thing more astonishing is that such fully developed pieces of depth, mystery and just damned fine playing can be cooked up so quickly.

Gregg Belisle-Chi has mastered Berne’s idiosyncratic language and on ‘Mars’ he helps to place some of those brilliant puzzle pieces together alongside the creator.

A solo performance of rare wisdom like ‘Koi’ is what happens when the mighty composing pen of Tim Berne meets a mighty insightful guitar of Gregg Belisle-Chi.

‘Sensitive’ documents the gig where Tim Berne’s Hardcell unit got started, as well as Berne’s fruitful association with keyboardist Craig Taborn.
