Courtney Cutchins: Grunge to Grace

Read "Grunge to Grace" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


È un debutto discografico dalla lunga gestazione --almeno un decennio-quest'album di Courtney Cutchins, che rilegge in ottica jazz l'estetica grunge, sottolineandolo nella scelta del titolo. Dei nove brani che costituiscono il percorso musicale, la cantante ne riprende due dal repertorio dei Soundgarden ("Boot Camp" e “The Day I Tried to Live") e uno da Kurt Kobain ("All Apologies"), aggiungendone sei di sua composizione.

Joshua Crumbly: Rise

Read "Rise" reviewed by Geno Thackara


Joshua Crumbly and his bass have logged a good few miles learning from a respectable number of fellow players (Victor Bailey, Terence Blanchard, Kamasi Washington and more) in his fairly young career, and it shows—his debut may not be as wildly eclectic as it could have been with such a colorful history to build on, but then it's not specifically meant to be. Rise is more about portraying emotions and inner thoughts, and the variety of players and tones here ...
