by Vic Albani
Come dice spesso Uri Caine che di Filadelfia se ne intende giacché ci è nato, una delle migliori caratteristiche dei musicisti di quel posto è il senso del ritmo che, sorprendentemente, tutti i musicisti dell'area portano quasi geneticamente con sé. La Fresh Cut Orchestra è il risultato dell'incontro che il trombettista Josh Lawrence, il bassista Jason Fraticelli e il batterista Anwar Marshall ebbero nelle sale del Painted Bride Arts Center, spinto poi alla reciproca collaborazione da Lenny Seidman ...

It's difficult to believe that the rich, full Mind Behind Closed Eyes is only the second release from jny:Philadelphia's Fresh Cut Orchestra; it sounds so much more developed and mature than that.

La suite suscita emozioni, provoca ...

In late 2012, the Painted Bride Art Center of Philadelphia commissioned local musicians Jason Fraticelli (bass), Anwar Marshall (drums) and Josh Lawrence (trumpet) to collaboratively compose new music for a ten-piece ensemble. The Painted Bride contacted us about putting together this music, and we all agreed pretty much from the get-go about who we wanted to bring in to complete the band," Marshall explains. Then once we got everyone together, the cohesion just happened super easily. From the first time ...

Here's a jny: Philadelphia band that offers a novel perspective on large ensemble jazz with ever-so-slight inclinations toward the outside realm, which is just enough to present an enlivening aspect to these nine diversely enacted tracks. Sadly, The Mothers' Suite" compositions relate to the tragic passing of bassist Jason Fraticelli's mother-in-law, shortly before the birth of his first child. Off-kilter electronics treatments, polytonal nuances and other factors weave in and out of these works that tender a cornucopia ...
