***Inspired by Keith Jarrett's recording of the same name The K^ln Konzert is a live record that hits its mark with every throw. Two pieces were written by Mr. Jarrett and the rest are strictly VERT inkings, giving this disc a balance that is seldom struck on a live recording. Ahhhh, Bach.

***The masterful sound design of Vert's third Sonig album creaks and splutters, rumbles and rocks, breaks and blows from all sides and every angle. Despite complexity, British exile and resident of Cologne Adam Butler grooves with the best of them. Small Pieces Loosely Joined comprises both flirty come-ons in pop's direction and short sketches, apropos of its title. Using accordion, Rhodes, lots of piano, and a dense tissue of electronica, the tracks approach musical themes, toy with them, view them from different angles, and then move on to new pastures. The listener is by no means swept away in a maelstrom of sonic events, but rather engaged by the pace of Small Pieces Loosely Joined. You simply can't not listen. Vert conjures up tension and dissolves it by turns in a wonderfully charming, articulate and unpredictable manner. This string of loosely, even randomly connected musical clippings contains a clear thread of musical rigor, embedded deep down in the complex arrangements, traceable throughout the entire album.

***The fifth release from Cologne-based electronic artist Adam Butler (aka Vert) is an incredible mix of of hip-hop songwriting and storytelling backed by found-percussion, ragtime piano, taut-yet-fluid double bass, and occasional help from a rasping rhythm sax, old marimbas, dirty organ, and a panoply of mutated and invented instruments (such as the "shakerphone" and the "palmonica").

Some Beans & An Octopus is a joyful romp through the entire history of popular music from around the world, taking in ragtime, R'n'B, flamenco, ska, Turkish wedding music and lots more. But this isn't just some sample-heavy genre checklist -- there are actually no samples used at all -- instead, these tracks genuinely seem to have a global perspective hard-wired into their DNA. This is 21st century world music, the ultimate mash-up of ideas and styles.
