Pat Metheny: From This Place

Read "From This Place" reviewed by Chris M. Slawecki


When a musician of Pat Metheny's pedigree writes, “From This Place is one of the records I have been waiting to make my whole life," it seems prudent to listen. Each of these ten new compositions seems to reflect a different aspect of Metheny as composer and guitarist, casting his bright and articulate voice in various configurations of his core band (Welsh pianist Gwilym Simcock, Malaysian/Australian bassist Linda May Han Oh, and drummer Antonio Sanchez, whose tenure with ...

Pat Metheny: From This Place

Read "From This Place" reviewed by Emmanuel Di Tommaso


Sono vari i motivi per i quali è difficile trattenere l'entusiasmo di fronte all'uscita di From This Place, ritorno su disco di Pat Metheny. Il piacere dell'attesa, innanzitutto: ben sei anni sono trascorsi dall'uscita del precedente album in studio Kin () (Nonesuch, 2014), un lasso di tempo che ai fans più appassionati sarà sembrato infinito, considerata la prolificità di Metheny nel corso della sua quarantennale carriera. Altro fattore di entusiasmo è sicuramente il trio che accompagna Metheny in ...

Pat Metheny: From This Place

Read "From This Place" reviewed by John Kelman


It's been a full six years since Pat Metheny last released a studio recording. This, despite the guitarist who has become, in a career now in the midst of its fifth decade, one of the most famous and influential jazz guitarists of his (or, some would argue, any) generation, reportedly having enough material in the can for five or six releases. Nor is it as if he hasn't kept busy. The guitarist, for whom live performance has always ...

Read "Linda May Han Oh ft. Quartetto Artemisia al Roma Jazz Festival" reviewed by Serena Antinucci


Linda May Han Oh ft. Quartetto Artemisia Roma Jazz Festival Auditorium Parco della Musica 5.11.2019 Nel volto sorridente di Linda May Han Oh c'è l'immagine della scoperta e della sfida. Il suo live all'Auditorium Parco della Musica, per il Roma Jazz Festival, lo scorso 5 novembre, è una concatenazione di sequenze complesse, a volte rivoluzionarie, di incastri sorprendenti, di linguaggi diversi che emanano il profumo della contaminazione. Linda May Han Oh preferisce un dinamismo compositivo ...

Linda May Han Oh: Aventurine

Read "Aventurine" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Che il talento di Linda May Han Oh includesse doti compositive era evidente nei suoi album da leader, in particolare nel recente Walk Against Wind. Piena conferma è quest'album appena uscito, dove la scrittura è predominante e i risultati sorprendenti per ricchezza e originalità delle soluzioni. Alla guida di un organico del tutto nuovo—un combo jazz, un quartetto d'archi e un ensemble vocale—la contrabbassista australiana presenta la sua opera più ambiziosa e matura: un percorso di taglio ...

Linda May Han Oh: Talent and Dedication

Read "Linda May Han Oh: Talent and Dedication" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Over the past decade, bassist Linda May Han Oh has been hailed as one of the most gifted bassists, bandleaders and composers of her generation. She is a virtuoso who can swing hard while keeping instrumental grace and precision, structuring her lines through a most free-flowing cascade of ideas. After completing her master's degree at the Manhattan School of Music in 2008, she recorded her debut album, Entry with trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire and drummer Obed Calvaire. In the following years ...

Tra i bassisti di nuova generazione--nello strumento sia acustico che elettrico--il ruolo di Linda May Han Oh spicca per il lavoro svolto sia come bandleader che partner di protagonisti come Pat Metheny, Dave Douglas, Vijay Iyer, Joe Lovano o Kenny Barron. Nel 2017 ha pubblicato il quarto album a suo nome Walk Against Wind (Biophilia Records) ed in marzo, a capo del suo gruppo, ha suonato anche in Italia.
