The Philosophy Of Jazz

Read "The Philosophy Of Jazz" reviewed by Ian Patterson


The Philosophy Of Jazz Kevin Le Gendre 105 Pages ISBN: 978 0 7123 5503 2 British Library 2025 If you had to recommend just one book on jazz history to a neophyte, which would it be? Ted Gioia's The History of Jazz (Oxford University Press, 1997) is rightly regarded as a definitive account, but at nearly 600 pages it may deter readers looking for a lighter introduction. What if ...

Thomas Morgan: Around You Is A Forest

Read "Around You Is A Forest" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Il valore, la sensibilità e la duttilità musicale di Thomas Morgan lo ha portato a essere uno dei contrabbassisti maggiormente richiesti della scena contemporanea. Ora, con questo lavoro, il primo a proprio nome dopo tanta attività nei contesti più differenti, documentata in una copiosa serie di album fondamentali del jazz contemporaneo, Morgan ha deciso di affermare la propria volontà nel tracciare un proprio disegno personale, per dare vita in qualche senso a un lavoro esemplare, che incontri pienamente le proprie ...

Mary Halvorson: About Ghosts

Read "About Ghosts" reviewed by Doug Collette


Since Mary Halvorson began her prolific affiliation with Nonesuch Records, she has refused to repeat herself except with a purpose. The simultaneous release of Amaryllis & Belladonna (Nonesuch Records, 2022) was the precursor to the expansive Cloudward (Nonesuch Records, 2024), while About Ghosts represents a retrenchment, albeit a productive one. On five of these eight cuts, the identical Amaryllis Sextet that appeared on the latter LP interacts smoothly with guest saxophonists Immanuel Wilkins and Brian Settles. Such synchrony ...

Mary Halvorson: About Ghosts

Read "About Ghosts" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


It has become more than an urban legend that Brooklyn's genius-in-residence Mary Halvorson is supernaturally up to something. Some new route around something else. On her second resiliency test of the year--her first, the fiery Bone Bells (Pyroclastic, 2025) alongside hot-house pianist Sylvie Courvoisier still rattles the playlist--Halvorson's About Ghosts tells of wide open spaces with a wide open lens. Its intricate inner architecture is so comfortably ethereal that you sway freely within its charm and frenzy. About ...

Immanuel Wilkins Quartet at The Triple Door

Read "Immanuel Wilkins Quartet at The Triple Door" reviewed by Paul Rauch


Immanuel Wilkins Quartet The Triple Door Seattle, WA February 28, 2025 Alto saxophonist/composer Immanuel Wilkins burst onto the scene in 2020 with his premier Blue Note release, Omega. Straight out of Juilliard in New York, Wilkins was part of a collective of musicians corralled out of the school by the esteemed label, much in the way labels used to cruise the Gotham jazz club scene with ears open, hoping to find the next big ...

Micah Thomas: Mountains

Read "Mountains" reviewed by Stefano Merighi


La prima traccia di Mountains, “Life," potrebbe suggerire un equivoco di fondo: un bel disco di jazz elegante, sgargiante nei colori, brillante nell'alternanza tra incedere orchestrale e voci individuali. Ma invece è solo l'incipit di un'opera ad alto tasso dialettico, che offre talmente tante soluzioni da frastornare. Micah Thomas (28 anni, ricordiamolo) ha già tutta la storia del jazz--e non solo--sotto le sue dita. E' un altro tra i numerosi pianisti e pianiste in grado di sintetizzare ogni ...
