Andrew Hartman: Compass

Read "Compass" reviewed by Edward Blanco


New York-based jazz guitarist Andrew Hartman offers his second album as leader with the modern jazz-like Compass featuring nine originals and a newly-arranged rendition of the Paul Simon classic “America."

Joshua Redman: Compass

Read "Compass" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


No jazz musician with Joshua Redman's pedigree, chops and talent wants to be tagged as “cautious" or “cerebral," but that was Redman's reputation, perhaps right up until Back East was released in 2007. That CD, a return to straight-ahead acoustic playing after a brief digression, found the saxophonist fronting a few different rhythm sections (and standing ...

Joshua Redman: Compass

Read "Compass" reviewed by Chris May


Like its predecessor Back East (Nonesuch, 2007), saxophonist Joshua Redman's Compass invites comparisons with Sonny Rollins' totemic acoustic trio outing Way Out West (Riverside, 1957), whose instrumentation it reflects and whose influence Redman has acknowledged. Another Rollins album which springs to mind, though more for its title than its structure, is Saxophone Colossus (Riverside, ...

Susanne Abbuehl: Compass

Read "Compass" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


La cantante svizzero-olandese Susanne Abbuehl è solita frequentare territori sofisticati e liminali, nei quali gli stili - jazz, classica, pop - si intrecciano e confondono l’uno con l’altro. E questo Compass, non fa eccezione: la sua impostazione è decisamente cameristico-contemporanea, con prevalenza di atmosfere sospese e pensose, molto nordeuropee, ma richiama anche la poetica di altri ...
