Webber/Morris Big Band: Unseparate

by Angelo Leonardi
December 8, 2025

Le sassofoniste Anna Webber e Angela Morris confermano le innovative concezioni orchestrali dimostrate in Both Are True (Greenleaf Music, 2020), con un disco ancor più avvincente, che s'impone tra i migliori dell'anno. L'organico registra pochissime variazioni (le più significativa sono l'ingresso della pianista Marta Sanchez al posto di Marc Hannaford e le assenze della vibrafonista Patricia Brennan e del trombonista Nick Grinder sostituiti rispettivamente da Yuhan Su e Zekkereya El-magharbel). L'organico è costituito dai migliori strumentisti operanti a New York ...

November 18, 2024

Montreal-based artists Simon Angell and Tommy Crane make what they call “jazz-adjacent improvised music." Angell plays bass and guitars, along with synths. Crane crafts his sounds with drums and percussion, programming synths and a vibraphone. Mix in some vocalese by Sarah Rossy and alto sax and flute from Charlotte Greve and we have Angell & Crane, the debut album from the two leaders, culled from hours of taped sessions that have been curated, molded and pared down to an album's ...

Infused with an inventive and organic zest, Town of Two Faces swings into the spotlight under the deft ensemble of Charlotte Greve on alto saxophone or voice, Vinnie Sperrazza on drums, Chris Tordini on acoustic bass. It is graced by a cameo from Fay Victor, a voice which paints jazz in bold uncharted colors, with her knack for reimagining the vocal weave in the jazz tapestry with her deep dive into a memorably melodic blues-and gospel-shaded piece, entitled “In Heaven." ...

Jacob Garchik: Clear Line

by Dan Bilawsky
January 14, 2021

As strange as it may sound, sometimes the best way to break free is to simply box yourself in. Limitations obviously cut off certain possibilities entirely, but they open the mind to so many others in the process. Composer (and trombonist) Jacob Garchik has long subscribed to that line of thinking and he takes it to bold heights on this, the most original, least derivative big band recording to arrive in ages. Basically throwing out the rule ...

by Dan McClenaghan

This eponymous album is their first recording. When the subject of an alto sax, bass and ...
