Neta Raanan: Unforeseen Blossom

Read "Unforeseen Blossom" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Un album di debutto della durata di quasi ottanta minuti ha tutta l'aria di un'impresa ardita, se poi a intraprenderla è una giovane sassofonista pressoché sconosciuta si aggiunge anche una massiccia dose di incoscienza. Evidentemente Neta Raanan non si fa intimorire e con un quartetto completato dalla batteria di Kayvon Gordon, il basso di Simon Wilson e il vibrafono di Joel Ross, licenzia il notevole Unforseen Blossom. L'etichetta è la Giant Step Arts, organizzazione no-profit del rinomato fotografo Jimmy Katz, ...

Out Of/Into: Motion I

Read "Motion I" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


Most supergroups happen and barely dent the dust. Despite those odds, one or two happen for a reason. That reason is  Motion I  by Out Of/Into. Formerly known as The Blue Note Quintet--pianist Gerald Clayton, alto saxophonist  Immanuel Wilkins, vibraphonist Joel Ross, drummer Kendrick Scott, and bassist Matt Brewer--hijack the lead track “Ofafrii" with a brazen romp of everything tuneful and tasty. Wilkins and Ross virtually ground the driving ethic while power-gliding above the whole enterprise. It is a hellion ride, considering ...

Harry Skoler: Red Brick Hill

Read "Red Brick Hill" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Metodo catartico. Con questa tecnica, ideata da Freud e Breuer nelle prime fasi della psicoanalisi, si aiutavano i pazienti ad affrontare i postumi di un trauma. Da allora gli psicoterapeuti hanno perfezionato i loro metodi ma fuori dagli studi professionali anche l'arte s'è rivelata un mezzo per affrontare le ferite della psiche. Ad esempio con l'opportunità di elaborare un lutto in forma simbolica. Il nuovo disco di Harry Skoler sembra porsi in questa prospettiva e l'autore lo presenta ...

Joel Ross: Nublues

Read "Nublues" reviewed by Chris May


Planning this, his fourth album as leader on Blue Note, Joel Ross set out to connect with a wider audience, to make things a little easier for listeners. The vibraphonist and composer says that, with hindsight, his previous work for the label has been too focused on the musicians in his band and rife with devices such as time and tempo changes which may have limited appeal for lay listeners. Thinking about the album during pandemic-enforced social isolation, Ross says ...
