3 Cohens: Family

Read "Family" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Terza reunion discografica per i fratelli Cohen (di cui avevamo recensito Braid nel 2008) questa volta decisi a proporre una aggiornata rivisitazione della tradizione hardboppistica. In primo piano energiche sonorità nel segno del più classico mainstream, forgiate dalla straripante espressività dei tre fiati. Ben suonata oltre che energica, la musica proposta non guarda però oltre il modello di riferimento finendo con il risultare alla lunga omogenea e prevedibile. I tre leader sono gli autori di quasi tutte le composizioni proposte, ...

Melissa Stylianou: Silent Movie

Read "Silent Movie" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Silent Movie è il quarto album per Melissa Stylianou. La cantante canadese si destreggia con la sua voce vellutata e intimista tra standard di jazz e cover di classici pop, blues e folk, offrendoci un disco molto variegato ma omogeneo grazie anche ad arrangiamenti impeccabili che sanno valorizzare al meglio il suo grande talento. Basta già il brano di apertura, “Smile" di Charlie Chaplin, in cui la Stylianou riesce a far suo il pezzo trasmettendo all'ascoltatore un grande senso di ...

Anat Cohen: Clarinetwork Live at the Village Vanguard

Read "Anat Cohen: Clarinetwork Live at the Village Vanguard" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Anat CohenClarinetwork Live at the Village VanguardAnzic Records2010 Anat Cohen can make the clarinet sing--literally and figuratively. On Clarinetwork Live at the Village Vanguard her wonderful, flowing melodic lines swoop and soar like arias placating the most high. It is as if--in that spiritualised state of grace--Cohen, in her singular, burnished or blushing tone, is voicing the murmurings of the soul set free by the music. Cohen is an anomaly in ...

Anat Cohen: Clarinetwork: Live at the Village Vanguard

Read "Clarinetwork: Live at the Village Vanguard" reviewed by Thomas Conrad


Anat Cohen is one of the major jazz success stories of the last decade. She arrived in New York from Israel in 1996 and, by the turn of the century, was an important factor in the reemergence of the clarinet as a solo jazz instrument. Yet her recordings have not captured the bacchanalian riot of Cohen in person, whirling on the stage, curls flying, unleashing clarinet notes in formally elegant torrents. Clarinetwork comes closer, in part because ...

Anat Cohen: Clarinetwork Live At The Village Vanguard

Read "Anat Cohen: Clarinetwork  Live At The Village Vanguard" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Anat Cohen Clarinetwork Live At The Village Vanguard Anzic Records 2010 For a jazz musician, performing and recording an album at New York's Village Vanguard is akin to an opera singer performing at the Metropolitan Opera. Both of these accomplishments signify a milestone in an artist's career, but clarinetist and saxophonist Anat Cohen had “made it" long before this project came to be. Since her arrival in New York ...

Anat Cohen, an Israeli-born multi-reedist who favors clarinet, is rapidly emerging from the jazz 'underground.' Notes from the Village (an allusion to Dostoevsky's novella?), her fourth release as a leader, is sure to enhance ...

3 Cohens: Braid

Read "Braid" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Se le influenze della musica ebraica sul jazz sono sempre state abbastanza evidenti (si pensi, ad esempio, alle front-line dixie con il clarinetto in bella evidenza, o - in tempi molto più vicini - alle esperienze “Radical Jewish” newyorkesi), il fenomeno più rilevante degli ultimi tempi è l'emersione di un nucleo di jazzisti nati e cresciuti in Israele. Appartengono a questa schiera i 3 Cohens, al secolo la sassofonista e clarinettista Anat Cohen, ed i suoi fratelli Yuval Cohen (sopranista) ...
