Bobby Previte: Mass

by C. Michael Bailey
November 2, 2016

Finally, I understand Black Sabbath and it is about damn time. Musically, my preferences tend toward the durable and dependable blues pentatonic. That is something that, harmonically, I can understand from down in my DNA. That said, when I was a teenager, I wore into nothing, the first four Black Sabbath recordings. As much as they appealed to me, they could not compete with the Allman Brothers Band of the same period. What I had always wondered was where the ...

Red Hook Jazz Festival 2016 Urban Meadow Community Garden Red Hook, Brooklyn June 12 & 19, 2016 This ninth edition of the Red Hook Jazz Festival appeared to draw its biggest crowd yet. Not that it's a large- capacity event, but perhaps a setting close to the water's edge at Red Hook makes it seem psychologically inaccessible to the lazy New Yorker, involving an actual 15 minute amble from the closest subway ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
September 19, 2012

La grafica di copertina con l'immagine di tre alieni/musicisti che gettano il loro sguardo severo e attonito sulle cose del nostro mondo è un buon viatico all'ascolto del CD che vi ritrovate tra le mani. I tre visitatori dallo spazio rispondono al nome di Bobby Previte, nella funzione di gran cerimoniere e capo delegazione, di Beppe Scardino e Francesco Diodati, in quella di emissari prescelti. Prestare attenzione alle loro istanze, fidarsi delle loro buone intenzioni è il lasciapassare per un ...

Bobby Previte & The New Bump: Set the Alarm for Monday

by Sean Patrick Fitzell
June 9, 2008

A mysterious dame with gams to the ceiling walks in. Shifty characters with trench coats and perilously dangling cigarettes move among the shadows. A mickey is slipped, the double-cross completed. A tenor sax moans amid shimmering vibraphone, a spare bass line and imploring drums. Drummer Bobby Previte's Set the Alarm for Monday may not be the soundtrack to a classic film noir, though he and The New Bump evocatively conjure those moods. No stranger to the genre, ...

Swami LatePlate (Jamie Saft and Bobby Previte): Doom Jazz

by Kurt Gottschalk
November 4, 2007

Although Jamie Saft is best known as a jazz pianist, especially for his work with various Masada projects, he's a rocker at heart who lists ZZ Top among his favorite bands. Swami LatePlate--his duo with drummer Bobby Previte--seeks to a degree to cross the divide. In one sense a piano trio, with Saft doubling on electric bass, the project borrows as much from heavy rock sensibilities. Their debut album and the first on Saft's new label Veal, falls closer to ...
