.:.impossible Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Just curious. I know there are a handful of people here who review jazz records. Do any of you also review non-jazz records? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny weir Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I do a bunch of country, blues and sometimes other stuff for my newspaper - the older the better at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Any type of percussion-heavy music, no matter what type or style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I was reviewing post-classical/"new" music for DMG for a while, but it's been almost a year. Personal issues take up too much time to write reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Sometimes. I did some writing for the City Pages a year or two ago that mostly centered on weird rock/folk/underground stuff. Occasionally I review oddball "new music" recordings as well. For example, a recent reissue of the first Blue Gene Tyranny on Lovely... which is... lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I too wrote for City Pages (in MN), 15+ years ago, can it really have been that long? Both jazz and other stuff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I reviewed some rock albums for a college newspaper a long, long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dorward Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Generally not, though I've been roped into the occasional review of modern classical or rock or whatnot, often because of Cadence's "Hodgepodge & Shorties" section. & of course I review lots of free improv shading into electroacoustic improv shading into electronic composition or improvised Cagean/Feldmanian stuff. -- In general, though there are lots of genres I like (just bought a stack of Berio, Ives, E. Carter, &c, actually), I don't feel I have expertise in areas outside jazz & its close relatives. I really admire folks like Dan Warburton who have a good handle on a pretty wide range of musics, good enough to write well on them all.
