Alicia Hall Moran: Coldblooded

Read "Coldblooded" reviewed by Tyran Grillo

Take a heart and cast it into water. Lower the temperature. Watch the surface tighten until motion turns into sculpture. What remains are rings expanding outward, movements frozen into memories. These are the contours listeners encounter on Coldblooded, the third meta-statement from singer and composer Alicia Hall Moran. Sound travels across its surface as a skate blade tests structural integrity. History breathes beneath that ice, even as traumas wait behind winter's glaze. And so, the music begins its slow migration ...

From Generation to Generation, A New Collection Transcends Borders and Barriers

by John Chacona
May 24, 2022

The release of the three-disc set The Concert for Bangladesh (Apple) in 1971 established a template for the charity benefit album that is still followed to this day: multiple discs in lavish packaging, a grab-bag of songs and most importantly, a red-carpet lineup of established, often older stars, one of whom was invariably the organizer of the project. Stephany Calembert threw out much of that playbook for Black Lives: From Generation to Generation (Jammin' Colors, 2022). While ...

Various Artists: Black Lives - From Generation to Generation

Read "Black Lives - From Generation to Generation" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

Indeed, African Americans are the architects of several musical formations, hearkening back to Scott Joplin's development of 'ragged' rhythms i.e., Ragtime, along with blues, funk, jazz, and other genres, often evolving into various tangents and offshoots. And on this comprehensively entertaining set produced by Belgian Stefany Calembert with assistance from her husband and acclaimed bassist Reggie Washington, they righteously bestow Black Music as a “source of moral truth and potent weapon against racism." Numerous stars such as saxophonist ...

Free Association is a new series of collaborative mixtapes curated by Mondo Jazz in association with some of the finest selectors on Mixcloud. Free Association mixtapes develop as a conversation. The first selector sends a tune cherry-picked to suit, and ideally surprise, the second selector who then, in turn, returns the favor. An hour or so into this exchange, after unexpected turns and joyful revelations, the two look back at the results of this game of musical ...

Alicia Hall Moran: Here Today

Read "Here Today" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

Le sintesi tra canto operistico e universo musicale afroamericano sono state sporadiche. In generale la relazione tra i due mondi è apparsa difficilmente compatibile per la forte diversità tra le due estetiche: mi sembra che l'esempio più riuscito di conciliazione resti l'opera Porgy and Bess . Di recente un significativo passo avanti lo sta compiendo il mezzosoprano Alicia Hall Moran che pubblica un avvincente secondo album, imprimendo ulteriore spinta alla relazione tra musica operistica e jazz. Un ...
