The Wee Trio: Wee +3

Read "Wee +3" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


The Wee Trio delivered quite a bit of variety over the course of its first four albums. The first two--Capitol Diner, Vol. I (Bionic Records, 2008) and Capitol Diner, Vol. II: Animal Style (Bionic Records, 2010)--established the musical ground and syntax that are part and parcel of this three-way partnership; Ashes To Ashes: A David Bowie Intraspective (Bionic Record, 2012) demonstrated much of what can be done to mutate and honor David Bowie's music, almost foretelling the growth of Bowie-inflected ...

Olivier Le Goas: Reciprocity

Read "Reciprocity" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Matt Cibula, writing for All About Jazz, wondered in his review of French drummer Olivier Le Goas' Gravitation (Altrisuoni, 2007): “Who the heck is Olivier Le Goas...?" indicating perhaps a paucity of information about the leader, even in this day of Internet info overload. Nine years later there still isn't much on-line scoop about the man. So we go with the music. Gravitation, an all-star quartet affair featuring guitarist John Abercrombie, trumpeter Ralph Alessi and bassist Drew Gress, ...

Lagarina Jazz Festival 2014

Read "Lagarina Jazz Festival 2014" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Ala, Isera, Mori, Villa Lagarina -9-18.08.2014 Tra le rassegne estive italiane il Lagarina Jazz Festival si caratterizza da otto anni come un appuntamento di nicchia tra i più interessanti e ricercati, sia per le originali scelte di programmazione -spesso in esclusiva-che per l'attrattiva dei luoghi, che si snodano nei magnifici borghi del basso Trentino, tra il Lago di Garda e Rovereto. Una terra nota per i suoi rinomati vini, che venivano offerti dalle migliori cantine in apprezzate ...

Nir Felder: Golden Age

Read "Golden Age" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Sarà anche l'album di debutto ma in Golden Age il chitarrista Nir Felder si dimostra solista maturo, compositore interessante e leader convincente. Durante le dieci tracce del disco Felder gestisce al meglio i talentuosi compagni di viaggio convogliando le loro peculiarità verso un disegno comune organizzato e coeso. Le composizioni si materializzano in un repertorio trasversale e contiguo a generi differenti. Si va dai fremiti metropolitani dell'iniziale “Lights" e di “Sketch 2," seppur ammorbiditi dall'innato senso melodico ...

Introducing Nir Felder

Read "Introducing Nir Felder" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


La recente uscita di Golden Age, debutto da leader di Nir Felder (Okeh 2014), conferma i positivi riconoscimenti che il chitarrista ottiene sulla scena musicale di New York. A partire da maestri come Greg Osby, Terri Lyne Carrington o Jack DeJohnette, molti jazzmen l'hanno coinvolto nei loro organici, facendolo conoscere oltre la cerchia del suo pubblico abituale, allo Smalls o al 55 Bar di New York. Almeno dal 2010, che è poi l'anno di nascita del suo ...

Nir Felder: Golden Age

Read "Golden Age" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


There were a few strong reactions when Nir Felder was donned “The Next Big Jazz Guitarist" in a 2010 NPR article. The in-demand New York based musician is seemingly unfazed by the headline and continues grinding out a stream of constant gigs and sessions associated with the likes of Greg Osby, Terri Lyne Carrington, and more recently, drummer Rudy Royston's debut 303 (Greenleaf Music, 2014). In spite of frenzied scheduling Felder has cultivated his music in the long overdue debut, ...
