Ludovica Burtone: Migration Tales
by Angelo Leonardi
Dopo il debutto del 2020 con Sparks, la violinista friulana attiva a New York presenta un album ampiamente rinnovato nell'organico strumentale e nei suoi componenti. Non c'è più il quartetto d'archi ma un sestetto d'impronta jazzistica e prevalenza femminile, in cui resta solo la pianista Marta Sánchez. I nuovi partner sono Milena Casado al flicorno, Julieta Eugenio al sax tenore, Tyrone Allen II al contrabbasso e Jongkuk Kim alla batteria. Ludovica Burtone spesso interviene come vocalist in unisono al violino. ...

by Dan McClenaghan
The art of daydreaming is the birthplace of creativity. Moldavian-born pianist Stefan Sirbu delves into that state of receptive awareness with his album Reverie. The seven tunes presented here total up to a bit under 40 minutes. Sirbu says his goal was: “To produce a record that one could listen to during a short commute home, to drift away for the time of a twilight bus ride or a peaceful stroll through a city at dusk." This may seem a ...

by Angelo Leonardi
Dopo la cilena Melissa Aldana, s'impone a New York un'altra giovane sassofonista sudamericana, l'argentina Julieta Eugenio, di un anno e qualche mese più giovane. Come già fece Melissa nel 2010 con l'album Free Fall anche Julieta ha debuttato con un pianoless trio (Jump, Greenleaf 2022), organico che ora ripropone con gli stessi partner, il contrabbassista Matt Dwonszyk e il batterista Jonathan Barber. In due brani dell'album, Leo Genovese si aggiunge al Fender Rhodes. Gli ...

by Jack Bowers
Even though he was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel, composer, saxophonist and educator Eyal Vilner is well-versed in the origins and history of American jazz, especially as they pertain to the Swing Era, big bands and the largely black jazz experience in Harlem and elsewhere. Those interests converge on Swingin' Uptown, on which Vilner's excellent big band swings its way through sixteen impressive charts, several of which were inspired by Harlem's remarkble jazz narrative. Besides ...

by Dan McClenaghan
Argentina-born saxophonist Julieta Eugenio takes four breaths ("Breaths" I through IV), that she calls “short, intimate moments," in her ongoing endeavors in this (mostly) trio-format album. The saxophone, bass and drums setup is one of the most intimate. Think Sonny Rollins in Way Out West (Contemporary, 1957) and A Night At The Village Vanguard (Blue Note, 1958), a pair of uncluttered, groundbreaking, chordless outings that stand up as classics of the format. Eugenio has proven herself marvelously ...
