Motohiko Hino: It's There
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'etichetta Enja ripropone su CD una registrazione del 1993 del batterista giapponese Motohiko Hino (fratello del più famoso Terumasa Hino) che ha due elementi distintivi importanti. Il primo è costituito dalla presenza, in qualità di sidemen, di musicisti molto noti che prestano la loro arte per la buona riuscita del progetto. L'altro elemento distintivo è costituito dalla massiccia presenza nel repertorio di composizioni dei Led Zeppelin. Sono ben cinque i brani tratti dal book della band guidata da Jimmy Page ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Le dettagliate note di copertina a corredo di questo disco ricordano che l'incontro di Intra con Dave Liebman cade trentaquattro anni dopo un altro incontro “fatale" del pianista milanese, quello con Gerry Mulligan, protagonista con lui dell'album “Mulligan Meets Intra", dove era inserita la suite Nuova Civiltà, pietra fondamentale del suo lavoro e del jazz prodotto in Italia. Questo incontro è altrettanto pregnante e forse ancora più significativo per la parabola artistica di Intra, giunta ad una splendida intensità nella ...

by John Kelman
Sometimes there's simply too much good material for a single disc, and then a decision has to be made: release a double-disc set, or two single-discs, spread apart and each with its own complexion? In the case of saxophonist Dave Liebman's European group with Italians Roberto Tarenzi (piano), Paolo Bendettini (bass) and Tony Arco (drums), choosing the latter not only helps bring more attention over a lenghtier period of time but, despite being culled from the same three dates in ...

by John Kelman
These days a collection of artists--no matter how strong--getting together for a largely standards-based date is often treated with some suspicion. With so many jazz recordings being released every month revolving around an increasingly well-heeled (but, nevertheless, still important) repertoire from The Great American Songbook or legacy jazz artists like pianist Thelonious Monk and saxophonists John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter, the cynicism that meets even forward-thinking standards interpreters like pianist Keith Jarrett's trio with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack ...

by Woodrow Wilkins
When three prominent saxophone players come together to honor one of their highly regarded brethren, and include compositions by one of the most revered instrumentalists ever, the listener is in for a treat. So it is with Seraphic Light by Saxophone Summit, led by the trio of Ravi Coltrane, Joe Lovano and Dave Liebman. Saxophone Summit began in the 1990s with Lovano, Liebman and the late Michael Brecker--three contemporary instrumentalists who revisit the exploratory style of John ...
