Paolo Peviani's Favorite Jazz Albums of 2025

Read "Paolo Peviani's Favorite Jazz Albums of 2025" reviewed by Paolo Peviani


When looking at today's jazz recording industry, it is hard not to feel that something essential has gone missing: real selection at the source--producers willing to take responsibility, to filter, to choose. This is not a new phenomenon, but one that now seems to be reaching a breaking point. In the overwhelming flood of releases, identifying recordings of genuine artistic value has become increasingly difficult. Fortunately, at least for now, AI has yet to make inroads into the ...

Lucian Ban, Mat Maneri: Oedipe Redux

Read "Oedipe Redux" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Pur se da venticinque anni residente negli U.S.A., il pianista Lucian Ban non ha mai smesso di coltivare le sue radici rumene, che spesso anzi caratterizzano sottilmente la sua prolifica produzione artistica. In particolare, assieme al violista Mat Maneri --con il quale collabora assai spesso, contribuendo recentemente al suo album Ash --ha più volte proposto apprezzati lavori ispirati alla tradizione popolare rumena (Transilvanian Dance (ECM 2013), Transilvanian Folk Songs (Sunnyside 2020), mentre già nel 2010 aveva presentato sempre per Sunnyside ...

Louis Sclavis, David León, Roby Glod & Joy Guidry

Read "Louis Sclavis, David León, Roby Glod & Joy Guidry" reviewed by Maurice Hogue


Reed players have taken over the house this week. The eminent clarinetist Louis Sclavis stars in an excellent quartet using music, text and spoken word to create a moody sonic landscape out of short stories, poems and aphorisms by French and African authors. Other European saxophonists heard are Luxembourg's Roby Glod in a familiar setting with bassist Christian Ramond and drummer Klaus Kugel, and Belgium's Toine Thys leading his band Orlando. From this side of the Atlantic come David León's ...

Federica Michisanti Quartet: Afternoons

Read "Afternoons" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Continua a evolversi la musica di Federica Michisanti: dopo i bei lavori del suo Horn Trio e l'esperienza al fianco di due mostri sacri come Franco D'Andrea e Dave Douglas, l'artista romana presenta adesso un nuovo album, nel quale documenta il lavoro della sua nuova formazione, un quartetto formato con Louis Sclavis, Michele Rabbia e Vincent Courtois. Il gruppo, senza strumento armonico come l'Horn Trio, vede stavolta la presenza di un batterista, ancorché particolarmente creativo e impegnato ...

Federico Marchesano: Atalante

Read "Atalante" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Nato come progetto originale commissionato dal Torino Jazz Festival 2018, questo lavoro del contrabbassista e compositore torinese Federico Marchesano, formazione classica ed esperienze eclettiche, vede adesso la luce anche nella sua documentazione registrata, uscendo in CD per la Faelmay. Il progetto si ispira al capolavoro cinematografico di Jean Vigo, del quale in certa misura descrive le atmosfere, ma ha una vita ovviamente del tutto indipendente. Marchesano è alla testa di un quartetto che vanta la presenza di Louis ...
