John Pietaro's "Test" Of 2020
by John Pietaro
It would be a fool's errand in a covid-damaged society to attempt a peaceably gathered year's end “Best of" list, in jazz or any other genre or medium. But artists of jazz and all avant gardes have been especially susceptible to the considerable financial ebbing and health concerns of this period. Discussing this concept with my ...
The Cry of Jay Rodriguez
by Michael Blake
On an unseasonably warm February evening I set out from Brooklyn to catch the multi-instrumentalist Jay Rodriguez's band at Le Poisson Rouge. While walking from the West 4th Street subway station to the venue on Bleecker Street I recalled taking this exact route over 30 years ago to play a jam session in the ...
Microscopic Septet: Been Up So Long It Looks Like Down to Me, Jazz Passengers: Still Life with Troube, Papanosh: Chicken in a Bottle
by Vic Albani
Non credo che i puristi del caso si possano stupire di una recensione tripla che non vuole porre in contrapposizione tre lavori discografici afferenti ad una similare idea di base, bensì presentarli entro un unico pacchetto di “meraviglie contemporanee." Anche perché questi tre dischi potrebbero essere certamente acquistati ad occhi bendati quale brillante testimonianza di alcune ...

That seems like a pretty wide range: from jazz fusion to hard bop. But the third and fourth releases in the series ...
Rez Abbasi Acoustic Quartet: Intents and Purposes
by Mario Calvitti
Rileggere alcuni dei classici del jazz-rock elettrico anni '70 secondo una prospettiva acustica potrebbe sembrare una scommessa decisamente azzardata per molti. Non per il chitarrista di origine pakistana Rez Abbasi, che alla guida di un quartetto acustico completato dal vibrafono di Bill Ware e dalla sezione ritmica formata dal contrabbassista Stephan Crump e dal batterista Eric ...
The Third Annual World Vibes Congress Creates Waves in Asbury Park
by Gloria Krolak
Another epic gathering of vibraphone players was uncorked and, like Champagne on New Year's Eve, this bubbly was not staying in the bottle. Part of the Third World Vibes Congress, the jam exploded at the packed Langosta Lounge and Restaurant on Asbury Park's boardwalk early in January. Pairs of vibes players, many of whom had never ...
The Art of the Guitar: Samo Salamon, Christer Fredriksen, Rez Abbasi & Juan Pablo Hernández
by Jakob Baekgaard
The guitar is an instrument that continues to inspire musicians around the world and since early pioneers like Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian showed the endless possibilities of the instrument, the guitar has also been an important part of the evolution of jazz.
