Usein Bekirov: Free Way Deluxe

Read "Free Way Deluxe" reviewed by Ian Patterson

Labels, reductive at best, prove especially slippery when applied to Lviv-based pianist-keyboardist Usein Bekirov. Ethno-jazz, ethno-fusion, jazz-funk--all these titles and more have followed his music around since his debut album, Taterrium (4Records, 2016). Born in Uzbekistan but raised in Crimea from the age of eight, Bekirov has drawn variously on his Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar roots, as well as Balkan and Azerbaijani folk music, alongside modern jazz-fusion. Previous collaborators have included fusion luminaries such as trumpeter Randy Brecker; saxophonist Ada ...

Fans of Weather Report or the Zawinul Syndicate or for that matter most any of Joe Zawinul's work, will likely appreciate this album led by keyboardist Scott Kinsey. The Austrian keyboardist Zawinul, along with legendary saxophonist Wayne Shorter, were the founders of Weather Report. Kinsey became a prodigy of Zawinul and has done more than just keep the music alive. First came (We Speak Luniwaz:The Music of Joe Zawinul, Whirlwind Recordings, 2019). That studio album affirmed not only Kinsey's affinity ...

Scott Kinsey: Luniwaz LIVE

Scott Kinsey's connection to the music of Joe Zawinul and Weather Report is undeniable--and hardly new to even casual partakers of the keyboardist's work. As Kinsey explains, the pull was there from the beginning: “Joe was an innovative improviser, composer, and conceptualist but for me, especially so as the first jazz synthesist I had ever encountered. His electric keyboard work was showing us the future, note by note." But even if Kinsey garnered Zawinul comparisons, listeners weren't listening ...

Hadrien Feraud: Rhapsody In Blue

by Mike Jacobs
January 7, 2024

Prodigies are certainly nothing new but it's still quite unbelievable when a young talent arrives so fully-formed and so poised to build on the work of absolute game-changers in their musical idiom. Such was the case in 2007 when bassist Hadrien Feraud's self-titled debut album hit people's ears. The then 20-year-old Feraud's take on “Rhapsody In Blue" is still a stand-out on the album for its creative re-envisioning of the Gershwin classic and sizzling guest appearance by guitarist Bireli Lagrene.
