New York Japanese Jazz Festival Smoke Jazz & Supper Club New York, NY June 25-27, 2019 The Japanese people's love for jazz, rock, blues and other forms of music with African-American roots has been well established for decades. Working bands and musicians at all levels of fame regularly make the Land of the Rising Sun a destination and are met with uniquely polite audiences whose intense devotion can border on the worshipful. In the improvisational ...

by Maurizio Zerbo
Questo doppio CD è dedicato alla memoria di Joseph Cinque, che nel 1839 capeggiò la rivolta degli schiavi africani imbarcati sulla nave Amistad con destinazione Cuba e le sue piantagioni di zucchero. È un progetto ambizioso sulla diaspora africana in cui la narrazione vocale delle vicende storiche ben si combina ad un sontuoso apparato musicale, articolato in una suite di cinque movimenti. A fare da trait d'union, l'ancestrale retroterra ritmico della regione congolese, su cui vengono di volta in volta ...
read moreVincent Herring: Night and Day
by Luigi Sforza
La musica di Vincent Herring discende inequivocabilmente dall'hard bop. Come da tradizione, Night and Day ricalca in modo esemplare l'energia e l'irruenza espressiva insita nel sound di quel filone jazzistico. Nel modo di operare, Herring non si sottrae alla convenzione di disporre tromba e sassofono davanti a tutto e lascia che siano pianoforte, contrabbasso e batteria a svolgere nell'insieme il ruolo di elemento propulsore. Conseguentemente tutto il progetto ha ben poco di sorprendente, nel senso che--utilizzando una serie ...

by Steve Bryant
Ever since the jazz was created in the clubs and dancehalls of New Orleans, there was always a significant influence from the Caribbean region, specifically from Cuba. The island, which was just a ferry ride from the port city, had such a significant effect on the development of the music that Jelly Roll Morton always spoke of the importance of Afro-Cuban based rhythms (the Spanish Tinge) in creating and performing this nascent music. However, it was the arrival of a ...
read moreVincent Herring & Earth Jazz: Morning Star
by AAJ Italy Staff
Vincent Herring in compagnia degli Earth Jazz licenzia un album maiuscolo. Dieci tracce ben congeniate tra originali - dei quali tre a firma del pianista Anthony Wonsey - e rivisitazioni di standard che sanno di jazz d'alta scuola, sviluppato da un quartetto affiatato, dai livelli espressivi decisamente oltre la media. Si potrebbe riassumere così Morning Star, ma vale certamente la pena spendere delle righe per sottolineare l'avvolgente suono d'insieme dell'iniziale “Do You Remember," la vena funky della coltraniana “Naima," caratterizzata ...

by Edward Zucker
Vincent Herring Philadelphia Museum Of Art Philadelphia PA June 23, 2006“Vincent Herring" and “smooth jazz" are, somehow, words that do not easily roll off the tongue together. Judging from several recent appearances, saxophonist Herring, who has developed one of the most clearly defined voices on alto in mainstream jazz, is apparently switching gears from a traditional bop sound to a contemporary jazz sound.Herring is currently touring in support of his ...
read moreVincent Herring: Ends And Means
by Nic Jones
It will always be appealing to hear a musician develop, whether on record or otherwise, and Vincent Herring's association with HighNote has easily been the most productive of his career, in terms of documenting his growth as an artist. Where once he perhaps owed a debt of allegiance to the work of Cannonball Adderley, he now has the sound of a musician who has come into his own. And while this whole deal might not amount to anything new, such ...
