Joe Lovano: Homage
by Alberto Bazzurro
Decolla sognante, aereo, quasi astratto, il nuovo album di Joe Lovano, che recupera per l'occasione il sodalizio con l'efficientissimo trio “made in Poland" di Marcin Wasilewski (l'incisione risale al novembre 2023). Sei i brani, tutti del sassofonista di Cleveland tranne il primo, “Love in the Garden" di Zbigniew Seifert, leggendario violinista di Cracovia morto poco più che trentenne nell'ormai lontano 1979 lasciando in tutti un grande punto interrogativo in merito a ciò che avrebbe potuto fare e non gli è ...

by Alberto Bazzurro
Una musica sospesa, carica di pathos, magari sempre un po' uguale a se stessa (all'interno di questo album, che viene da lontano, essendo stato inciso addirittura nel 2004, ma più in generale nell'ultima produzione di Tomasz Stanko), ma in possesso di un potere seduttivo immutato, e peraltro con periodiche impennate (per esempio in “Euforila," ma anche in “Elegant Piece," e sono questi i momenti in cui si avvertono le maggiori similitudini con Enrico Rava, in certe strappate repentine, certi squarci ...

How sorely Tomasz Stańko is missed. When he passed in 2018, his career had spanned practically the entire lifetime of homegrown Polish jazz, kicking off approximately with the Dave Brubeck Quartet's seminal tour of Poland in 1958, three years after the ban on jazz had been lifted by the country's ruling Communist Party. For Stańko, aged 16, Brubeck's tour was a Damascene moment, as it was for a whole generation of Polish musicians. Stanko was still resident in Poland when ...

by Mike Jurkovic
Once one finds oneself sucked into the fervent undertow piloting the live, previously unreleased September Night it is too late: The boat has left shore. Beginning with bassist Slawomir Kurkiewicz's full throated rumble, “Hermento's Mood" spins off into fable somewhere around the one minute forty mark, when pianist Marcin Wasilewski begins his warm, welcoming symmetries and the band gathers steam.. Polish trumpeter/composer Tomasz Stańko (1942-2018) was a poet on his golden instrument. Metaphoric but never academic, ...
