Extended Analysis

The Summer Knows (un été 42)

Read "The Summer Knows (un été 42)" reviewed by Artur Moral


Not so young, but still foolish: arduous is the path chosen by pianist, composer and singer Franck Amsallem, a lesser-known figure--outside his immediate performance circle--even among some of the jazz world's most avid and encyclopedic enthusiasts. Nevertheless, this musician's name should appear in that roster of outstanding French baby boomer keyboardists mentioned in Pierre de Bethmann: Sharing a Musical Breakfast in Lyon. There are several reasons for this unintentional and unfair ignorance: his current thematic approach, formalized in ...

Ben Solomon: Echolocation

Read "Echolocation" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Fra cascami coltraniani, evidenti fin dalle prime note del brano iniziale (ma del resto fin dal nome dell'etichetta produttrice dell'album), e un linguaggio risciacquato anche in acque un po' più contemporanee, questo live album (incisione del dicembre 2023) del giovane tenorsassofonista (in altre occasioni anche sopranista) Ben Solomon ci offre una musica solida e ottimamente congegnata, anche se come si sarà intuito non attraversata da particolari tratti di originalità. Il sassofonista e leader del quartetto (assolutamente coeso) ...

Alexis Valet: Following The Sun

Read "Following The Sun" reviewed by Geannine Reid


Alexis Valet's Following the Sun, is an enjoyable collection of contemporary jazz inspired by Valet's journey across continents--from the luminous streets of Paris to the bustling avenues of New York. Central to the success of Following the Sun is the symbiotic relationship between Valet and his fellow musicians: Dayna Stephens tenor saxophone, Aaron Parks piano, Joe Martin double bass and Kush Abadey drums. Each brings virtuosity and their unique voice to the compositions, creating a recording that feels ...

David Gibson: Fellowship

Read "Fellowship" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


When you strip away the most obvious elements that contribute to the creation of a magical experience in this music, the one that remains is fellowship. Camaraderie between bandmates elevates a sonic endeavor like nothing else can, heightening everything for both performers and listeners, and that's a fact that's never been lost on David Gibson. The noted trombonist has long espoused the importance of musical family--something that began to resonate on an even deeper level during the pandemic--and that high ...

Melissa Aldana: Echoes Of The Inner Prophet

Read "Echoes Of The Inner Prophet" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


Grammy-nominated saxophonist Melissa Aldana was all of maybe 21 going on 22 in 2010 when her Inner Circle Records arrival, Free Fall, caught many a discerning ear with its surprisingly earthy and assured lines and tangents. Her first for Blue Note, 2022's 12 Stars, displayed much the same but with a more resolute, restorative, established tone. As exhibited on such artistic statements as 12 Stars and 2019's Visions (Motema Music), Aldana relishes her sojourns and residencies in the ...

Ethan Iverson: Technically Acceptable

Read "Technically Acceptable" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


The funhouse genius of pianist Ethan Iverson hits full nor'easter with Technically Accepted, an album so loaded with invention and cool it rises instantly to the pack of hands-down favorites for the still unformed year of 2024. Unbounded, Iverson's many quirks and instigations hurl madly around the house, the studio, the bodega down the street and it is up to the rest of us to keep up. That includes his two simpatico rhythm sections: bassist Thomas Morgan and ...

Alexander Claffy: Music From Big Orange

Read "Music From Big Orange" reviewed by Pierre Giroux


Alexander Claffy has released an impressive album entitled “Music From Big Orange" which showcases his skills as a bassist and composer, and captures the essence of contemporary jazz while paying homage to the rich traditions of the genre. Switching seamlessly from acoustic bass to electric, depending on the sonic flow of any given tune, it is clear that Claffy's bass playing is the foundation upon which the entire album is built. On this orange-coloured vinyl LP, ...
