Ted Poor: You Already Know

Read "You Already Know" reviewed by Chris May


Breaking news 3/23/20: Impulse! is getting its mojo back. Showing definite signs of, anyway... Since its glory days in the 1960s and 1970s, Impulse! has been little more than a logo wheeled out by its parent company, Universal Music, to lend credibility to unrelated one-off projects.

Read "Tiny Resistors" reviewed by Sean Patrick Fitzell


With lush orchestrations of finely honed compositions, bassist Todd Sickafoose's Tiny Resistors reveals a broad musical vision. A stalwart of the new music scene, playing improv and indie-rock projects and blurring those distinctions, Sickafoose's third CD highlights his maturation as a composer and talents as a multi-instrumentalist, with pieces incorporating a swath of stylistic influences--rock, Americana, jazz, blues and touches of modern classical.

Tragedy struck Thursday in the first of two sold-out Andrew Bird concerts at the opulent Civic Opera House. Birds musical weapon of choice his violin --- was mortally wounded when it slipped from his hands near the end of the show, crashed to the stage and cracked in two.

Bird soldiered on to the finish without his most trusted accomplice, but it did put a damper on the 100-minute homecoming performance. Once a quirky swing-jazz maverick, the lean, soft-spoken artist ...
