Tumble: Waves

Read "Waves" reviewed by Don Phipps


One can certainly appreciate the effort made by the members of Tumble to carve out a niche on Wave in the expanding and ever-changing world of jazz music. That said, however, there is a bit of disappointment. It's not that the group can be faulted for poor musicianship, but the readings in general are uninspired and uneven and the arrangements problematic. Tumble is comprised of Bill Douglass on bass, Robert Heirendt on mbira (an African thumb piano), Sean ...

Aaly Trio + Ken Vandermark - Stumble (Wobbly Rail, 1998)

The Scandinavian AALY Trio of Mats Gustafsson on saxophones, Peter Janson on bass, and Kjell Nordeson on drums is joined by American milti-reedist Ken Vandermark for an album that veers away from the very loud and boisterous free jazz they are normally associated with into more subtle and nuanced terrain. It makes for an interesting departure, Gustafsson and Vandermark can be unfairly categorized as leather lunged blowers, although it takes a great deal of concentration on the part of the ...

Study: Facebook and Twitter Drive Most Blog Traffic, but Don't Forget Stumble Upon, Flickr, Linkedin

A new Technorati 2010 State Of The Blogosphere study reinforces something that most who guide web sites and blogs  already know: Facebook and Twitter drive traffic. But several sites that music marketers don't always consider—Linkedin, Stumble Upon and Flikr—also proved to also be significant traffic sources. MySpace barely registered in the study, which is perhaps not surprising since the study looked at blogging in general, rather than just music or band blogging.  But the results are a reminder of the ...
