Florian Ross: Architexture

Read "Architexture" reviewed by Jerome Wilson


Writing about music has been compared to dancing about architecture, in that it is a supposedly useless task.

But there is a German upstart, Pirouet Records, which has been in the business of offering up its own musical vision since the early 2000s, with a multinational stable of artists including American pianists Marc Copland, Bill Carrothers and Kevin Hays, British-born saxophonist Loren Stillman and Belgian bassist Nicolas ...
