Roberto Magris Sextet: Live in Miami @ the WDNA Jazz Gallery

Read "Live in Miami @ the WDNA Jazz Gallery" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

Since recording his first album as a leader in 1982, Italian-born pianist Roberto Magris has added thirty more to his impressive resume, the most recent of which is this high-powered sextet date, Live in Miami @ the WDNA Jazz Gallery. The session is somewhat of a departure in that most of Magris' earlier albums have been set down in a studio, either in the U.S. or abroad. And while he has recorded in more than forty countries, this was Magris' ...

Roberto Magris: Roberto Magris Sextet Live In Miami @ The WDNA Jazz Gallery

Read "Roberto Magris Sextet Live In Miami @ The WDNA Jazz Gallery" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

Italian pianist and composer Roberto Magris is restless in his stylistic approach. With more than two-dozen recordings as a leader/co-leader he has covered numerous sub-genres in a variety of group formats. Magris' career is steeped in bebop but with Enigmatix (JMood Records, 2015), with his American trio, he takes a modern European jazz approach with an underlying global flavor. As co-leader of the MUH Trio on Prague After Dark (JMood, 2017), Magris and his Czech Republic partners opted for a ...

Il meglio del 2016 secondo Maurizio Zerbo

Read "Il meglio del 2016 secondo Maurizio Zerbo" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo

by Maurizio Zerbo

il 2016 non è stato particolarmente felice per chi ama il jazz, non mi è stato facile stilare questa lista di 12 CD da consigliare. Particolarmente degni di nota il nuovo album di Dino e Franco Piana e soprattutto l'omaggio di Brian Lynch allo sfortunato trombettista Woody Shaw. Da amare e consigliare anche le ristampe Blue Note di Herbie Hancock e Wayne Shorter. AA.VV. Jazz from America on Disques Vogue (Sony) Chet Baker Italian ...

Brian Lynch: Madera Latino - A Latin Jazz Perspective on the Music of Woody Shaw

Read "Madera Latino - A Latin Jazz Perspective on the Music of Woody Shaw" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo

by Maurizio Zerbo

I ritmi asimettrici appartenenti alla tradizione afrocubana sostanziano questo straordinario doppio CD di Brian Lynch, che con Woody Shaw condivide il triste destino di essere musicista grandissimo, ma poco esposto alla luce dei grandi palcoscenici. Con il trombettista scomparso, Lynch ha anche in comune l'amore per una dimensione espressiva a tutto tondo, capace di incorporare sia una dimensione lirica e notturna, sia una cifra più energica. Emblematica è in tal senso l'opera in esame, che incorpora l'andamento ...

Brian Lynch, Emmet Cohn: Questioned Answer

Read "Questioned Answer" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo

by Maurizio Zerbo

Per l'ennesima volta Brian Lynch si conferma come uno dei migliori trombettisti jazz in circolazione. Questo CD mette in bella mostra tutte le sue potenzialità artistiche, facendone cogliere tutta quella poetica espressività che solo i grandi musicisti possiedono. Alla testa di un superbo quartetto, Lynch sfodera doti artistiche che non hanno nulla da invidiare a quelle di nomi più altisonanti, in particolare raffinato gusto armonico come compositore e improvvisatore e fraseggio estremamente elegante. Senza voler essere a ...

Brian Lynch and Emmet Cohen: Questioned Answer

Read "Questioned Answer" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Four highly regarded musicians from three different age groups come together for a two-leader session resulting in one terrific album. That's Questioned Answer by the numbers, but there's a lot more to the story than basic numerics. The partnership between veteran trumpeter Brian Lynch and rising star pianist Emmet Cohen was born out of serendipity and mutual appreciation. Lynch first heard Cohen when they were both working the 2011 Jazz Cruise--the former as a featured soloist and ...

Brian Lynch: Unsung Heroes Vol. 2

Read "Unsung Heroes Vol. 2" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo

by Maurizio Zerbo

Un'aurea classicità sostanzia l'elevato livello artistico di un trombettista superbo, abile nell'assorbire e riplasmare la tradizione del proprio strumento. L'ultimo CD di Brian Lynch costituisce un affascinante excursus nel repertorio dei musicians' musicians degli anni '50 e '60, tra i quali Tommy Turrentine, Idrees Sulieman, e Joe Gordon di cui Lynch propone partiture inedite. Le dieci tracce proposte fanno rilucere una tecnica brillante, che parte da una piena conoscenza del passato per delineare un percorso di forte impatto emotivo.
