40Twenty: Jacob Garchik - Jacob Sacks - David Ambrosio - Vinnie Sperrazza: 40Twenty
by AAJ Italy Staff
40 Twenty è un quartetto, composto da alcuni tra i più interessanti musicisti residenti a Brooklyn, il cui nome rimanda alla pratica in voga nei night-club degli anni cinquanta quando i jazzisti suonavano set di quaranta minuti ciascuno con intervalli di venti minuti tra un'esibizione e l'altra. Ma la musica contenuta nell'omonimo disco è assai distante dalle immagini di sax che battagliano tra tintinnii di bicchieri o di sezioni ritmiche che ruggiscono come motori impazziti tra il vociare e i ...

Non fatevi ingannare dalle polifonie che emergono da The Heavens: the Athesit Gospel Trombone Album. Nessuna reincarnazione della Lester Bowie's Brass Band, semplicemente un album registrato in solitaria nel proprio studio domestico da Jacob Garchick. Che utilizzando la tecnica della sovra-incisione di parti per trombone, sousaphone, corno baritono, corno contralto e tromba a coulisse arriva a produrre una massa sonora di tredici strumenti contemporaneamente. Il risultato è impressionante, una mini-suite di nemmeno mezz'ora nella quale Garchik riversa con ricchezza espressiva ...

by Mark F. Turner
Brooklyn-based Jacob Garchik's The Heavens (The Atheist Gospel Trombone Album) recalls the prose of author James Weldon Johnson's famous 1927 book of poetry, God's Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse. where Garchik's stunning trombone work is likened to the poem's protagonist: a charismatic preacher with the ability to deliver awestruck messages. Garchik's trombone is the messenger, yielding powerful orations that are spirited and persuasive, like a sentence taken from Weldon's book that reads:“He intoned, he moaned, he pleaded-he ...

by Laurel Gross
Jacob Garchik may be a trombonist but he marches to the tune of a different drummer. Although his compositions and playing on this new recording don't fall into an easy category, Romance is eminently likeable. While at first everything sounds unpredictable and free-spirited--imagine colors you haven't seen, combinations of sounds you haven't heard--it's soon clear that there is an organizing force behind these original offerings. Some sections are too pretty and melodic, even at times classical sounding, ...
read moreJacob Garchik: Abstracts
by Andrey Henkin
Music based in trombone, piano, and drums is full of round edges. It doesn't attack listeners with sharp points but rather envelops them, like a soft blanket or heat rays from the sun when it reappears from behind a cloud. Abstracts, Jacob Garchik's debut as a leader, presents the young but very veteran New York trombonist in a wonderfully pithy session with two equally young veterans in Jacob Sacks (piano) and Dan Weiss (drums). Eight pieces, entitled ...
