There are two mini themes running through this edition of One Man's Jazz: one is musical partners, as in the trio of Sylvain Darrifourcq, saxophonist Manuel Hermia and cellist Valentin Ceccaldi who have released but three recordings in their 13 years of trio-hood yet believe their time spent together has let them develop into one of the most powerful and unique trios playing today. How about pianist Stanley Cowell and trumpeter Charles Tolliver? Their partnership resulted in Strata-East Records. Or consider the duo of pianist Izumi Kimura and drummer Gerry Hemingway which is very much outside typical. Or the duo of trumpeter Peter Evans and bassist Petter Eldh—their long time friendship guarantees original albums like their new Jazz Fest. The idea of a jazz festival where one would invite all manner of guests to appear was the motivation for Evans and Eldh. Festivals and live recordings provide the other mini theme, like Evans & Eldh, the late Swiss pianist Irene Schweizer in a never-heard-before release featuring drummer Han Bennink, Norway's Bliss Quintet at Nat Jazz '24, or Luke Stewart's Silt Remembrance Ensemble. Much more to like in this episode. Enjoy!
