To say that Mark Guiliana is a drummer's drummer is not necessarily to recommend his music to general listeners. The 34-year-old New Jersey native has become the patron saint of a new generation who move freely between the acoustic, human- centred instrumentalism of jazz and the processed world of electronica and dance. Guiliana seems intent on breaking down the barriers between those two magesteria and has set up his own label to aid him. Beat Music's debut releases, My Life Starts Now and its companion, The Los Angeles Improvisations, point the way to a brave new musical world that some will find a little chilly and others will find utterly beguiling. markguiliana.com
