Ryan Keberle & Catharsis: Find the Common, Shine a Light

Read "Find the Common, Shine a Light" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Pur confermando l'avvincente impronta stilistica evidenziata nei tre album precedenti, il pianoless quintet di Ryan Keberle presenta un lavoro leggermente disorganico e musicalmente più superficiale dei precedenti, forse perchè distolto da un intento politico (contestare l'elezione presidenziale statunitense del 2016). Il percorso musicale raccoglie due famosi temi della contestazione giovanile degli anni sessanta («The Times They Are A-Changin'» di Bob Dylan e «The Fool on the Hill» dei Beatles), il poetico song dell'uruguaiano Jorge Drexler --«Al Otro Lado Del Rio» ...

Il tratto principale della mia musica Secondo me, le melodie orecchiabili. La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con me La capacità di rispondere alle esigenze intellettuali del jazz, e al tempo stesso di creare in modo spontaneo musica sincera e bella. Come musicista, il momento in cui sono stato più felice Quando suono musica basata sull'improvvisazione, con musicisti che amo e rispetto. Come musicista, il mio principale ...

Ryan Keberle & Catharsis: Azul Infinito

Read "Azul Infinito" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Dopo i due interessanti lavori realizzati con questo gruppo (Music Is Emotion, Alternate Side 2013 e Into the Zone, Greenleaf Music 2014) Ryan Keberle firma oggi il suo album più riuscito in veste di leader. L'organico è quasi lo stesso del precedente ma uno degli ospiti -la cantante Camila Meza-è entrata nella formazione in pianta stabile, offrendo un contributo essenziale. Il trombonista risiede a New York del 1999 e nell'ultimo decennio s'è imposto come uno dei migliori solisti ...

Read "Ryan Keberle & Catharsis: Azul Infinito" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard

by Jakob Baekgaard

By now, trombonist and composer Ryan Keberle has established himself as a solid name on the jazz scene, but like all musicians, he did not come out of nowhere. On the album Azul Infinito, he pays homage to South American music and the composers that have meant something to him. The opener “I Thought I Knew (for Pedro Giraudo)" starts out with looped wordless vocals from singer Camila Meza and spiraling brass patterns from Keberle and trumpeter ...

Extended Analysis

Ryan Keberle & Catharsis: Azul Infinito

Read "Ryan Keberle & Catharsis: Azul Infinito" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

While the blues is a distinctly American creation, formed, fueled, and furthered by the African diaspora, the United States holds no ownership on blue-streaked sounds. They exist beyond our borders, and Azul Infinito makes that case in artful fashion by simultaneously tapping into various South American musical forms and cultures, reshaping them, and highlighting the color scheme(s) endemic to each one. It's a strikingly original album that's influenced by the work of specific figures and set cultural norms, but shaped ...

Ryan Keberle & Catharsis: Into the Zone

Read "Into the Zone" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Into the zone, ossia quello stato mentale che permette ai musicisti di astrarsi completamente dalle distrazioni esterne per concentrarsi esclusivamente sul processo creativo. Prende forma così una condizione di estrema confidenza, di palpabile intimità tra musicisti, le cose accadono con estrema naturalezza e le idee fluiscono senza impedimento alcuno. È questo l'approccio dichiarato dal trombonista e compositore Ryan Keberle per il secondo album del suo quartetto denominato, guarda un po, Catharsis. Melodie sognanti, arrangiamenti invisibili -tutto sembra ...

Album Review

Ryan Keberle & Catharsis: Into The Zone

Read "Into The Zone" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

At the tail end of 2013, trombonist Ryan Keberle contributed an enlightened article-cum-manifesto to The NYC Jazz Record. In said piece, Keberle used Music Is Emotion (Alternate Side Records, 2013), the debut project from his piano-less quartet called Catharsis, as a springboard into discussion about left-brain vs. right-brain forms of creation, the importance of stressing musicality over complexity, and the need to find a way to that zen-like space where the music flows. The article--"Into The Zone"--foreshadowed the direction and ...
