David Murray Quartet with Marta Sanchez, Luke Stewart and Russell Carter: Francesca

Read "Francesca" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

June 2, 2024

A jazz classicist since his heady and historic days founding The World Saxophone Quartet, David Murray takes to a studio just outside Zurich with a rhythm section of the next generation and emerges triumphant with the standout Francesca. With an average age of, give or take, thirty-six years between them, Murray, the veteran nearing seventy, brings the music and the fire to the young ones and “Francesca" waltzes into life with a bluesy cool all its own. Pianist ...

Marta Sanchez Trio with Chris Tordini and Savannah Harris: Perpetual Void

Read "Perpetual Void" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Marta Sanchez and her trio of bassist Chris Tordini and drummer Savannah Harris want their listeners to endeavor to keep up. Judging by the opening two tracks on Perpertual Void, keeping the pace might be a tall task.

Her compositions are taut high-wire balancing acts that most certainly could not be ...

È un debutto discografico davvero significativo, questo di Ludovica Burtone, violinista friulana di formazione classica con un diploma in composizione del Berklee College of Music e un ottimo curriculum di collaborazioni con jazzzisti statunitensi e internazionali. Inciso a New York con un ensemble comprendente un quartetto d'archi e ritmica, più alcuni ospiti di rilievo (Melissa Aldana, Sami Stevens), il percorso musicale colpisce e affascina per la padronanza con cui Ludovica unisce le varie fonti d'ispirazione.

Marta Sanchez: SAAM (Spanish American Art Museum)

La giovane pianista madrilena Marta Sanchez, ormai da tempo di stanza a New York, dirige in questo suo nuovo lavoro, inciso nel marzo 2021, un agguerrito quintetto con doppio sax che in un brano, “Marivi," si allarga a ottetto con l'ingresso di tromba (e che tromba: Ambrose Akinmusire), voce/chitarra e synth, dando sempre la precisa impressione di riuscire a dire ciò che sta nelle sue attuali corde. Il dialogo--l'interscambio--è per lo più fitto, vitale, ma sempre dall'alto ...
