Arcadia Trio & Robin Eubanks al Teatro Monni di Campi Bisenzio
by Neri Pollastri
Arcadia Trio, ospite Robin Eubanks Teatro Carlo Monni Campi Bisenzio (FI) 13.2.2019 Leonardo Radicchi è un sassofonista perugino con una biografia ricca non solo dal punto di vista musicale: dopo aver lavorato con molti artisti italiani ed essersi perfezionato al Berklee Colege di Boston, ha ben pensato di non rinchiudersi nel solo mondo dell'arte e si è recato con Emergency prima in Sierra Leone, poi in Afganistan, lavorando in quei paesi per oltre due ...

by Angelo Leonardi
Tornato alla piena attività discografica lo scorso anno con l'eccitante Klassik Rock -Vol. 1, Robin Eubanks pubblica ora un formidabile lavoro orchestrale con una band ricca di splendidi solisti e alcuni allievi dei suoi corsi. Dopo il Duemila il trombonista s'è dedicato prevalentemente all'insegnamento (all'Oberlin College, ma anche al Berklee College of Music e al New England Conservatory) restando a lungo assente dalla scena internazionale. Nel 2013 si è preso un anno sabbatico e ha pensato di riprendere alcune sue ...

by Troy Collins
More Than Meets the Ear is Robin Eubanks' first foray leading a big band in his three decades as a performing musician. The date features compositions spanning Eubanks' entire career, artfully embellished and re-arranged for a formidable 19-piece ensemble. The key difference between this lineup and a conventional unit--other than Mike King's bluesy organ and Boris Kozlov's intermittent use of electric bass--is the leader's occasionally electrified trombone. Eubanks has long augmented his horn with effects pedals, but this is the ...

by John Kelman
While jazz purists like to think that the artists they love have always been into jazz and nothing else, the truth is often more than a little different: not only have most jazz artists who grew up in the '60s and beyond been unalterably impacted by more than just the jazz music of their time, but they remain fans of music beyond the genre's broadest purview. Yes, there are purists, but most musicians--irrespective of the style of music upon which ...

by Paul Olson
Name one contemporary jazz trombonist. Robin Eubanks, right?Eubanks is only one member of a notoriously musical Philadelphia family--you're probably familiar with some of his brothers--and was playing trombone at a tender age. He moved to New York City after graduating from the Philly-based University of the Arts, and has collaborated with an enormous range of musicians. He did serious road time with both Art Blakey and Elvin Jones, was a prominent participant in the 1980s ...

by Jim Santella
Trombonist Robin Eubanks believes in staying up with the times. Not that electric trombone, trumpet or saxophone are anything new but relatively few jazz artists use them in concert since the looping and the pedal work can be quite complex. The opportunity to see it done live or on DVD is always something special. Eubanks' contemporary trio performance with EB3 features several electronic instruments, such as keyboard, bass, percussion pads and his unique electronic trombone, providing a thrilling concert based ...

by John Kelman
While ongoing developments in the area of technology have made it possible for artists to create a big band sound on a small band budget, you'd be hard pressed to find a group integrating it as seamlessly and interactively as trombonist Robin Eubanks' EB3 on Live Vol. 1. Thankfully Eubanks, rather than leaving listeners scratching their heads wondering who is doing what, has included a DVD that lets you watch five of the CD's nine performances. After seeing the footage, ...
