Gerald Clayton, l'Oumigmag, Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol, Triology & more

Read "Gerald Clayton, l'Oumigmag, Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol, Triology & more" reviewed by Marek J. Śmietański


Our 109th episode features new releases from North American artists. That's a rather traditional set with many inspirations from the '50s and '60s. It's nice to hear how young musicians treat tradition with respect, while also introducing a lot of fresh, creative ideas. Most of the material comes from the US, with a few Canadian albums and some roots from Netherlands, China and Turkey (homelands of two artists living in the US). And by the way, there will be small ...

Simon Moullier: Elements of Light

Read "Elements of Light" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Nel quinto disco da leader, il vibrafonista francese--da tempo residente negli Stati Uniti--torna a proporre molte sue composizioni, come aveva fatto in Spirit Song, il debutto del 2020. Per l'occasione Simon Moullier sostituisce anche l'organico, confermando solo Jongkuk Kim, l'emergente batterista coreano che lo segue dall'album d'esordio. Il nuovo quartetto comprende il talentuoso giovane pianista Lex Korten (allievo di Benny Green e visto di recente con Tyshawn Sorey, Jaleel Shaw, Melissa Aldana) e il bassista Rick Rosato, (già ...

Wilkins and Ross virtually ground the driving ethic while power-gliding above the whole enterprise. It is a hellion ride, considering ...

Gerald Clayton at Trinity University

Read "Gerald Clayton at Trinity University" reviewed by Katchie Cartwright


Gerald Clayton Trinity University / Ruth Taylor Hall San Antonio, TX November 7, 2023 Trinity University's Ruth Taylor Hall, with its intimate seating and warm wood-paneled acoustics, is a welcoming spot for a solo piano concert. Addressing the audience as he entered the stage, Gerald Clayton remarked on the geniality of the vibe. He was going try to catch some waves, he said, speaking metaphorically and as an ardent California surfer. Beginning quietly, almost tentatively, ...
