read moreThe Bix Centennial All-Stars: Celebrating Bix!
by Nicholas F. Mondello
Cornetist Leon Bismark “Bix" Beiderbecke, while certainly heavily influenced by Louis Armstrong, developed his own highly stylized way of playing and improvising jazz. One wonders what musical highlights might have been accomplished had he lived beyond his 28 years. Celebrating Bix!, originally released in 2003 as a single CD album, adds selections which, due to size constraints, did not make the original release, but they all certainly “make it" here as a double CD and vinyl release. What ...
read moreThe Bix Centennial All Stars: Celebrating Bix!
by Jack Bowers
Here's a new album by the Bix Centennial All Stars honoring the legacy of the renowned cornetist Bix Beiderbecke. Sort of. Actually, most of the music on Celebrating Bix! was recorded and released in March 2003, the actual centenary of Beiderbecke's birth in Davenport, Iowa. This expanded twentieth anniversary edition includes a trio of songs not released at that time owing to limited space, and has been reissued on two CDs instead of one. Having said that, ...

by Jack Bowers
As trumpeter Jon-Erik Kellso and his EarRegulars had been performing every Sunday night for more than sixteen years at New York City's historic Ear Inn, Kellso reasoned it was time that one of their concerts should be recorded to share more broadly the fun and enthusiasm that animates every session. Once the ties had been bound, parts of two concerts were recorded, on January 15 and 29, 2023. The music is a hybrid, with one foot planted ...

by Angelo Leonardi
Il valore della tradizione. È l'aspetto che la cantante Catherine Russell ribadisce dal 2006, quando pubblicò il suo primo album da leader, dopo anni di lavoro come corista con Donal Fagen, gli Steely Dan, Wynton Marsalis, Madonna, David Bowie e altri. Quando terminò la collaborazione col cantante britannico dopo l'uscita di Reality (Iso Records 2003), Catherine era prossima ai 50 anni ed era restìa a intraprendere un percorso solista. Invece fu una scelta indovinata, come dimostra il successo dei suoi ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
È probabile che la maggioranza dei lettori non abbia mai sentito nominare Willard Robinson, ma di sicuro avranno ascoltato almeno una versione di “A Cottage for Sale" o di “Old Folks," canzoni entrate a ragione nel Great American Songbook, grazie a interpretazioni memorabili di tutti i principali musicisti e cantanti di jazz. Robinson fu molto attivo negli anni Venti, alla testa della sua Deep River Orchestra; in quegli anni conobbe Jack Teagarden e assunse molti strumentisti di valore. La sua ...
read moreJon-Erik Kellso: Blue Roof Blues
by AAJ Italy Staff
E' affascinante notare come, contro ogni tentativo schematico della critica, il jazz sappia coltivare la convivenza di stili nati in decenni anche lontani. Attualità e avanguardia sono forse concetti romantici da rivedere, ma non è questa la sede.Ci limitiamo a notare quanto possa essere vivo e vitale un CD come Blue Roof Blues--A Love Letter to New Orleans, opera di Jon-Erik Kellso dedicata alla città che è la culla del jazz e alla sua recente sofferenza causata dall'uragano ...
