An unexpected concerto. The streets of Berlin. Nourishment and exhaustion. The celestial, moving among us. All of these things might describe (or, more accurately, permeate) Markus Reuter’s latest project—a spontaneous collaboration with Stefano Castagna. From a strictly Reuterian perspective, Sea of Hopeless Angels could be seen as a reaction to Markus’ furious and abrasive work with the free-rock improvisation quartet Anchor & Burden, one of his central priorities during 2022. At the same time, it stems directly from that project ...

Clark was also an excellent composer, as baritone saxophonist Adam Schroeder and arranger Mark Masters know well. The pair have just released CT!: Adam Schroeder & Mark Masters Celebrate Clark Terry (Capri), the finest album I've heard this year, and ...
