Miniature Tigers, the Chain Gang of 1974, Geographer, Pretty & Nice

(Tractor) San Francisco trio Geographer deftly meld drums, cello, synthesizers, loops, and pensive vocals with lush and hyperpolished production that doesn't work to their detriment. Their latest album, Myth, demonstrates both a cogent sense for songwriting and expertly executed musicianship, all of which indicates that next time around they'll be playing a bigger venue, as long as internet-based suggestions that they put on a stellar live show are accurate. GRANT BRISSEY

Tim Berne

(Seattle Asian Art Museum) Born in 1954, saxophonist Tim Berne has had a long, productive career on the margins of jazz. Inspired by Julius Hemphill's 1972 album Dogon A.D., Berne later took lessons with the jazz legend. Berne has gone on to forge a body of work marked by cantankerous yet supple tonalities and abrasive tunefulness that has appealed to both avant-garde jazz heads and noise rockers. His new album on the revered ECM label, Snakeoil, tones down some of Berne's more ornery proclivities, going for more nuanced, introverted ensemble playing with his quartet. His instrumental intensity has matured to a burnished glow. DAVE SEGAL
