Udin&Jazz Corte Morpurgo e Castello Udine 29.06-03.07.2015 Udin&Jazz ha tagliato quest'anno il ragguardevole traguardo del quarto di secolo con un programma, come negli anni più recenti, spalmato su circa un mese e sapientemente composto di artisti internazionali di primissimo piano (da Kurt Rosenwinkel a Chick Corea, da Ron Carter al prestigioso duo Caetano Veloso/Gilberto Gil) e musicisti locali dalle proposte originali e coraggiose--caratteristica che rende particolarmente interessante seguire la rassegna, vetrina di una realtà ...

by John Kelman
How time flies. While he's been busy with a number of other projects--his collaboration with the Portuguese Orchestra de Jazz de Mataosinhos on the ambitious Our Secret World (Wommusic, 2010) and the intimate, standards-laden Reflections (Wommusic, 2009)--it's been four years since guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel last released a small group record focusing largely on new original music. 2008's The Remedy (Wommusic) was an exhilarating live recording from New York City's The Village Vanguard, and if his subsequent releases have been as ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Kurt Rosenwinkel è uno dei migliori chitarristi della sua generazione. Quella generazione chiamata ad approfondire le evoluzioni sulle sei corde di maestri come Pat Metheny, John Scofield e Bill Frisell, a loro volta discendenti diretti di Jim Hall e Wes Montgomery, senza dimenticare gli eretici John McLaughlin e Jimi Hendrix.

by John Kelman
Kurt Rosenwinkel and OJM Our Secret World Wommusic 2010 With the creative possibilities offered by its expanded palette, it's no surprise that so many artists who traditionally work in the context of more pliant, small ensembles turn to larger settings at least once in their career. For those already predisposed to greater compositional complexity, the intrinsic challenges are many; but so, too, are the ultimate rewards. It's no surprise, then, that Kurt Rosenwinkel--perhaps his generation's ...

by Stuart Broomer
Kurt Rosenwinkel has a well-earned reputation for aggressive guitar playing that's both rhythmically astute and harmonically exploratory, a talent that he's applied with Mark Turner and Brad Mehldau as well as with hiphop producer Q-Tip. With Reflections, he has reined in his sometimes-divergent impulses for an unusual collection of standards and tunes by Thelonious Monk and Wayne Shorter that's almost all at ballad tempo, with the sturdy support and interaction of bassist Eric Revis and drummer Eric Harland.
