Rudresh Mahanthappa: Hero Trio

Read "Hero Trio" reviewed by Troy Dostert


After topping so many best-of-year lists with his extraordinary quintet on 2015's Bird Calls (ACT), alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa has gone into trio mode. His gritty, self-released Indo-jazz-rock album Agrima (with guitarist Rez Abbasi and drummer Dan Weiss) was one of the highlights of 2017, and now he's at it again, this time with bassist François Moutin and drummer Rudy Royston, both of whom were featured on Bird Calls. An overt nod to some of his formative musical influences, some ...

K.J. Denhert: Album no.9

Read "Album no.9" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Nove come le canzoni, i musicisti impiegati, i mesi serviti per registrare. Nove come il giorno, il mese e l'anno in cui sono iniziate le session. La simpaticissima chitarrista newyorkese scherza con la numerologia. Dice che, in fondo, tutto questo non può non dirsi frutto di semplici coincidenze. Conosce la chitarra dall'età di 10 anni e non ha mai smesso di ascoltare e praticare la fusione a caldo delle idee, le più diverse possibili. Ascoltandola si capisce che la sua ...
