Il piacere dell'ascolto, il gusto per le piccole cose, la scoperta dei particolari, l'atmosfera che ti avvolge suadente, la sensazione di sentirsi a casa, in una comfort zone che scivola in piacevoli ricordi sospesi tra sogno e realtà. Shooting Star-Etoile Filante è il titolo dell'album, Reverso il nome del trio composto da due europei--il pianista tedesco Frank Woeste, il violoncellista francese Vincent Courtois--e uno statunitense, il trombonista Ryan Keberle. Formazione di stampo cameristico, volendo proprio appiccicare un'etichetta, ...

Considerando è una delle realizzazioni più mature e riuscite di jazz brasiliano negli ultimi anni. Ne è protagonista uno straordinario quartetto in grado di riproporre da una prospettiva più complessa la tradizione rivisitata, regalando al pubblico una delle letture più eleganti e raffinate di questo repertorio. La collaborazione tra Ryan Keberle e il gruppo di San Paolo Collectiv do Brasil arriva al secondo capitolo di un progetto che evita accuratamente le formule manieristiche o da cartolina oggi purtroppo ...

Keep Swingin', a splendid new album from pianist Garry Dial and drummer Rich DeRosa, features “the music of Charlie Banacos." Charlie who? you may ask. And the answer is, there are jazz educators, and then there was Charlie Banacos, whose talent and ingenuity in the classroom influenced and inspired countless jazz musicians for more than fifty years. During that time, he designed more than a hundred courses of study and wrote half a dozen books on composition and improvisation.

September 27, 2023

Composer/arranger John La Barbera has been at the top of his game for more than half a century, and Grooveyard is simply another example of his undiminished artistry. Besides arranging everything--superbly, as always--La Barbera wrote six of the session's ten charming songs, escorting other treasures by Carl Perkins, Dave Brubeck, Curtis Fuller and Elvin Jones. As he writes his handsome and colorful big-band charts, La Barbera is always careful to observe Rule No. 1: they have to ...

September 25, 2023

Precursore nel 2009 (con l'innovativo Infernal Machines) del nuovo rinascimento orchestrale nel jazz, Darcy James Argue approda all'etichetta Nonesuch e pubblica il nuovo album in studio: un doppio CD realizzato con i consueti partner della Secret Society più l'aggiunta della cantante Cecile McLorin Salvant e della violinista Sara Caswell. A differenza degli ultimi due dischi, Dynamic Maximum Tension non è un'opera multimediale ma conserva la spinta visionaria animata dalla costante riflessione socio-politica. Spinta che si traduce in ...
