Nihm album
 $13.39 
Sylvie Courvoisier and Mark Feldman had been collaborating in various projects for a number of years, and had developed a wonderful rapport before being invited to participate in John Zorn's 50th birthday celebration at Tonic in September of 2003. Feldman had been working the Masada songbook in various groups for years, but Courvoisier's experience with these tunes was somewhat limited, having played only on the Voices in the Wilderness compilation with her group Mephista (as far as Masada tunes go, that is). However, her inexperience with this songbook would never be suspected upon listening to this recording. Courvoisier and Feldman ...

Nihm songs
$10.75 
This re-release, on Atavistic's Unheard Music Series, includes the entirety of the quartet album Imitation of Life and three of the tracks of the Beresford/Honsinger duo album Double Indemnity (plus two outtakes), each originally issued on Y Records. On these recordings from 1980 and 1981, one hears a relatively early example of the conflation of the avant-garde jazz of the time with postmodern tendencies wherein humorous allusions to disparate musics were all the rage. Much of the music has a similar feel to what John Zorn and associates were up to in downtown New York City at the time. In the duets, Honsinger's wry and sour cello contrasts effectively with Beresford, who -- ...

A more organic and subdued outing than its predecessor, ARMCHAIR APOCRYPHA, 2009's NOBLE BEAST finds singer/violinist/guitarist Andrew Bird further refining his elegant, erudite brand of indie-pop. From the breezy, lilting opener "Oh No" to the wistful, strings-only "On Ho," the Chicagoan performer wanders purposefully through his own strange musical landscape, stopping off for fascinating moments such as the chiming "Fitz & Dizzyspells" and the percussive "Not a Robot, But a Ghost." Although Bird's lit-major lyrics and dynamic, classically-minded arrangements may scare off listeners looking for more immediate thrills, those who allow BEAST to work its magic will be happily entranced by its considerable charms.
Released in 2007, Armchair Apocrypha proved that hyper-literate singer/songwriter, genre-bending violin player, and peerless whistler Andrew Bird had found the perfect middle ground between his increasingly austere solo sets and the full-band grandeur of his days with the Bowl of Fire, a strategy he repeats with similar results on Noble Beast, his fifth full-length solo offering and second collection for the Mississippi-based Fat Possum label. Bird, a classically trained violinist since the age of four, has skillfully integrated nearly everything with strings on it into his repertoire since his conversion from the Weill and Brecht-heavy days of Music of Hair, Thrills, and Oh! The Grandeur to the semi-mainstream indie pop of The Swimming Hour, but it's his seemingly limitless capacity for manipulation of the violin that dominates Noble Beast. Opening cut "Oh No," a track that Bird began releasing sketches of months before the album's street date, may be his most successful foray into the murky world of the potentially commercial pop song yet, boasting a chorus that points directly at the Shins while maintaining the artistic integrity of the loop-happy, meticulous craftsman who fans have been watching evolve since 2003's Weather Systems. What follows is a typically eclectic batch of material that reflect Bird's own musical time line. Tracks like "Masterswarm" and "Not a Robot, But a Ghost" are proof positive that he hasn't completely abandoned his swing jazz roots, "Fitz and the Dizzyspells" could very well provide audiences with their first opportunity to "bust a move" at a show, while "Nomenclature"'s ...
