by Jack Bowers
Those who believe the term Turkish Hipster has to be an oxymoron should get to know composer/arranger/multi-instrumentalist Mehmet Ali Sanlikol, a Turk whose seventh album, subtitled “Tales from Swing to Psychedelic," is about as hip as can be. Sanlikol knows where is going but chooses to get there in his own special way, using every weapon in his musical arsenal to create vivid sound pictures whose jazz components rest solidly within a Middle Eastern framework that set them apart from ...

by Jerome Wilson
The JCA Orchestra has been an important part of the Boston jazz scene since it formed in 1985. Several of its recordings are dominated by the compositions of its leader, Darrell Katz, but this live concert from the Berklee Performance Center features works by several orchestra members other than Katz and gives a fuller picture of the orchestra's range. Violinist Mimi Rabson contributes two atmospheric pieces. “Romanpole" is a musical culture clash inspired by the period when the ...

by Glenn Astarita
Trumpeter Daniel Rosenthal and his fellow hornists have all performed with the fabled, Either / Orchestra which to some extent has been an institution for many top-flight Boston area jazz musicians. Here, the leader and the dual sax attack of Charles Kohlhase and Rick Stone incorporate brash and fluid soloing into a program that contains a divergent track mix and covers a multitude of angles, cadences and improvisational applications. Luther Gray has long been a drummer of choice ...
read moreDaniel Rosenthal: Lines
by Greg Simmons
Lines, Daniel Rosenthal's debut as a leader, is a soft-spoken little album with an unusual instrumental mix and inventive tunes. The Boston trumpeter, a five-year veteran of the Either/Orchestra, offers stripped-down arrangements with the periodic inclusion of the banjo to spice things up. With the exception of two Thelonious Monk tunes, Rosenthal is responsible for all of the music on Lines. The feel is loose and conversational, with improvisational duties largely swapped between Rosenthal and alto saxophonist Rick ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Dopo la felicissima perentesi africana del 2005 (documentata dal vivo in Live in Addis ma gia' presente in parte su Afro-cubism) l'orchestra di Russ Gershon celebra i 25 anni d'attività con un nuovo album, l'undicesimo. È certamente un bel traguardo, su cui nessuno avrebbe scommesso quando l'organico si mise assieme, quasi per gioco a casa del sax tenore, complici “una cassa di birra e degli spartiti". Gershon è un bandleader e arrangiatore versatile e aperto, che guarda con interesse alle ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Rispetto al bell'esordio di Night Dancer, Paolo Lattanzi cambia completamente il quintetto, toglie gli elementi “elettrici" di quel disco e fa bingo assicurandosi in sette delle undici tracce i servigi della stella del trombone Robin Eubanks. Il risultato? Quasi ottanta minuti di solido modern-jazz acustico nel quale il talento dei singoli viene messo al servizio del bene comune, e la conferma delle buone qualità di compositore e di arrangiatore del leader, maceratese di origine ma da anni residente a Boston. ...
