Up until the lockdown, bassist Jorge Roeder was a ubiquitous presence not only in the New York jazz scene but in several other styles from south of the border. The title of his solo album, El Suelo Mío – streaming at Bandcamp – translates loosely as “my turf.” While it’s his salute to the sounds […]

Going green: happy anniversary to Edition Peters!
The celebrated iron gate to Edition Peters' Leipzig headquarters While we were in Leipzig the other week, we went to visit the historic headquarters of Edition Peters.

Grant. Grant’s (or the director’s?) approach to the role emphasizes the abusive nature of Higgins’ behavior toward Eliza, without giving us a single chance to see the reasons behind it. Grant gives us lots of flash and style, gesticulating wildly and excessively. But he never finds […]
