Linda May Han Oh al Teatro Golden di Palermo
by Maurizio Zerbo
Linda May Han Oh Teatro Golden Palermo 6 novembre 2025 Il concerto palermitano del quartetto cosmopolita guidato da Linda May Han Oh non ha deluso le attese dei palati sopraffini, grazie ad un flusso musicale stratificato che eleva l'indeterminatezza ad elemento chiave. Sotto le liriche melodie delle composizioni della musicista australiana si cela un'avvincente rimodulazione armonica che tende a rivedere le tessiture con cangianti giochi di improvvisazione verticale. Compositrice e arrangiatrice di talento, Linda ...

Today we're putting The Tonearm's needle on bassist and composer Linda May Han Oh. Linda's a Grammy winner who's recorded with Pat Metheny, Kenny Barron, and Joe Lovano. She was even the model for the bassist character in Pixar's Soul. But it's her own work that brings us together. Her latest album, Strange Heaven (Biophilia Records, 2025), explores why we choose familiar hells over strange heavens--why we stick with what we know even when change might ...

by Frank Housh
Linda May Han Oh is one of jazz music's most innovative artists. I first encountered her in 2015 when she played The Art of Jazz with the Dave Douglas Quintet at Buffalo's Albright Knox Art Gallery. In the decade following she has released four albums for Biophilia Records and worked with luminaries such as art hirahara, Vijay Iyer, and Pat Metheny. Strange Heavens features Ambrose Akinmusire (trumpet) and Tyshawn Sorey (drums) from Akinmusire's Honey From A Winter Stone ...

Each has featured a bandleader associated with the top shelf staff at Rodney Whitaker's jazz program at Michigan State University. City Life (2025) is the third under the leadership of trombone great Michael Dease. The two-disc release includes 19 compositions from Hill, and features a cast of some of the most powerful voices in jazz ...

by Dan McClenaghan
Jazz trios featuring a horn, bass and drums get right to the core of musical expression.

Trombone, bass and drums outings are rare, but Michael Dease goes for it on CD 1 ...
