Coltrane 100 at The Freight

Read "Coltrane 100 at The Freight" reviewed by Harry S. Pariser

by Harry S. Pariser

Coltrane 100: Both Directions at Once The Freight Berkeley, CA April 15, 2026 On September 23, 1926, in Hamlet, North Carolina, a child was born. He would have--by the time of his untimely demise at the age of 40--an immense influence on the structure, performance of, and future of the music known as jazz. John William Coltrane was a force of nature. And his influence still reigns strong today.  At 73, Joe Lovano ...

Bergamo Jazz Festival 2026 Varie sedi Bergamo 19--22 marzo 2026 A differenza di altri jazz festival, molto estesi sotto il profilo cronologico e territoriale, quello di Bergamo, a parte alcune appendici prima e dopo, si concentra in quattro giornate fitte di eventi, di progetti speciali e di protagonisti appartenenti a svariate tendenze ma sempre espressione dell'attualità jazzistica. La quarantasettesima edizione ha mantenuto fede a questa impostazione distribuendo gli appuntamenti in idonee location ...

Jakob Bro: Live at The Village Vanguard

Read "Live at The Village Vanguard" reviewed by Fran Kursztejn

by Fran Kursztejn

Legendary guitarist Jakob Bro revitalized the pensive romanticism of the ECM Records sound with last year's Taking Turns, and continues his crusade in Live at the Village Vanguard. His strategy is simple: a diverse cast, both in style and generation, slavishly dedicated to a dynamic trajectory, like a viscous alloy rushing violent in an aged riverbed. In this case, the mold is the enduring memory of Paul Motian, chiefly represented by former band mate Joe Lovano, but haunting even Bro's ...

Joe Lovano: Homage

Read "Homage" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro

by Alberto Bazzurro

Decolla sognante, aereo, quasi astratto, il nuovo album di Joe Lovano, che recupera per l'occasione il sodalizio con l'efficientissimo trio “made in Poland" di Marcin Wasilewski (l'incisione risale al novembre 2023). Sei i brani, tutti del sassofonista di Cleveland tranne il primo, “Love in the Garden" di Zbigniew Seifert, leggendario violinista di Cracovia morto poco più che trentenne nell'ormai lontano 1979 lasciando in tutti un grande punto interrogativo in merito a ciò che avrebbe potuto fare e non gli è ...

Tribute to Monk at Smoke Jazz Club

Read "Tribute to Monk at Smoke Jazz Club" reviewed by Paul Reynolds

by Paul Reynolds

Tribute to Monk Smoke Jazz and Supper Club New York, NY October 25, 2024 Jazz demonstrated its resilience on Friday at Smoke. At 4.30 pm on that day, tenorist and bandleader Joe Lovano got the bad news that master drummer {m: Al Foster was not going to make the gig that night. Serendipity intervened. Bill Stewart was in town and available, and the shows proceeded, albeit with no rehearsal with the new drummer ...
