Johannes Berauer: Vienna Chamber Diaries plus Strings

Read "Vienna Chamber Diaries plus Strings" reviewed by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton


Johannes Berauer's album, Vienna Chamber Diaries plus Strings on Basho Records, is a jewel of emotional weathering to illuminate hearts after an unexpected and extended era of sadness. Berauer is a modern thinking, cross-over, chamber jazz Jedi. Perfecting the placement of elegant, exciting, heart easing, and harmonising in nine arrangements of exacting and uplifting joy, The Vienna Chamber Diaries plus Strings are a rollercoaster of gentle impulses and elation. The assembly of soloists is prescient, assured and propulsive. ...

Tim Garland: ReFocus

Read "ReFocus" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Strings and Tim Garland have always resonated well together. A leading figure of British jazz since the early 2000s, Garland emerged from a classical background, having studied classical composition at the Guildhall School of Music. His dual idioms have converged persuasively on albums such as If The Sea Replied (Sirocco Music Limited, 2005), Libra (Global Mix, 2009), Songs To The North Sky (Edition Records, 2014) and Weather Walker (Edition Records, 2018), with anything from chamber ensembles to full-blown orchestras shaping ...

Yuri Goloubev: Two Chevrons Apart

Read "Two Chevrons Apart" reviewed by Ian Patterson


In recent years double bassist Yuri Goloubev has lent his rich sound to multiple projects, including the co-led Duonomics (Caligola, 2018) with Michele Di Toro. It was 2011's Titanic for a Bike (Caligola), however, that marked Goloubev's last recording as outright leader. This welcome return—his headlining debut on Basho Records—sees him align with frequent musical partners Asaf Sirkis and Tim Garland, and new collaborator John Turville, on a finely crafted set of originals written and arranged by the Russian.

Yuri Goloubev Trio al Lyceum Club Internazionale, Firenze

Read "Yuri Goloubev Trio al Lyceum Club Internazionale, Firenze" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Lyceum Club Internazionale Firenze 9.12.2013 Un paio d'anni fa il Lyceum, storico istituto culturale fiorentino, ha provato ad allargare al mondo del jazz le offerte musicali invitando Yuri Goloubev, fidando sulla sua formazione classica all'interno dell'orchestra di Mosca. E il contrabbassista russo deve aver ben convinto i frequentatori del club, visto che ormai regolarmente viene riproposto nel programma. Goloubev, intelligentemente, ogni volta si presenta con partner e proposte diverse: dopo il duo con ...

Roberto Olzer Trio: Steppin' Out

Read "Steppin' Out" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Quando i germi di una qualsivoglia tradizione si radicano nell'animo umano, per quanto ci si adoperi per mascherarli, renderli altri, addirittura occultarli, rimarranno sempre presenti nell'operosità, anche inconscia, di ogni portatore sano di quella o quell'altra visione antropologica. Nel campo delle arti diviene determinante, invece, saper inanellare e sovrapporre linguaggi e tradizioni in ragione di una proiezione di determinati referenti espressi. Se non si cade nel manierismo o nel cliché, l'utilizzo di quel determinato parametro tradizionale o di quell'altro elemento ...

Just Music Trio: Standpoint

Read "Standpoint" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Standpoint contiene un'ora di musica svolta con grande attenzione melodica dal Just Music Trio, gruppo i cui punti di forza sono i timbri delicati della chitarra acustica di Fabrizio Spadea, l'accompagnamento discreto di Yuri Goloubev al contrabbasso e l'eleganza esecutiva di Roberto Olzer al pianoforte. Elementi che flirtano con le pause di riflessione, in un contesto di fascinosa malinconia, in un continuo gioco di chiaroscuri che colpiscono le giuste corde emozionali di chi ascolta. L'iniziale “Song for Michel" (Petrucciani) delinea ...

Yuri Goloubev: Titanic for a Bike

Read "Yuri Goloubev: Titanic for a Bike" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Yuri GoloubevTitanic for a BikeCaligola2011The old saying, “if you want a job done ask a busy person," certainly applies to Russian bassist Yuri Goloubev, one of the hardest-working musicians in jazz. When not touring with his own small ensembles, he's criss-crossing Europe in the trios of pianists Gwilym Simcock, John Laws and Carlo Morena, or in the quartets of saxophonists Claudio Fasoli and Mattia Cigalini. And in the two years since Metafore ...
