Atzko Kohashi & Tony Overwater: Porgy
by Dan McClenaghan
George Gershwin's 1935 folk opera, Porgy and Bess, a quintessentially American masterpiece, has had its share of jazz interpretations. Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald visited the work in 1957 on Verve Records. Pianist Oscar Peterson dug into the Gershwin score--again, on Verve--in 1959. But the most notable rendition is the Miles Davis/Gil Evans collaboration Porgy and Bess (Columbia Records,1958), one of the finest big band jazz albums of all time. So what more is there to say about ...

by John Sharpe
Over the years, quite a connection has built up between musicians from Amsterdam and the North East of England. Further affirmation arrives in the form of Something Happened by a co-operative trio comprising American expat reed man Michael Moore and the increasingly-regular rhythm team of bassist John Pope and drummer Johnny Hunter. Recorded in a studio in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in June 2022 at the end of a six-date UK tour, the album finds the threesome in relaxed and inventive mood, having ...

by Alberto Bazzurro
Un'aria vagamente zappiana, ma del resto prossima anche a svariati altri (eventuali) referenti fra quanti amino mettere a “friggere" insieme ingredienti di diversa provenienza (colpendo fin da una copertina abbastanza sorprendentemente à la Baglioni degli anni d'oro...) è quanto ci arriva da questo singolare album olandese (ma portoghese per produzione), il terzo dell'ensemble diretto dal chitarrista-tuttofare Jeroen Kimman. Nel mare magnum dei dodici brani proposti, tutti targati Kimman (due decisamente ampi, gli altri molto meno), si respirano ...

by Chris M. Slawecki
"Every piece of music on Distancia is an honest representation of a pilgrimage of different distances that I had to walk, musically and geographically speaking, in order to find inspiration and to create a representation of myself as a musical nomad," explains guitarist Rodrigo Almonte, who was born and raised in Peru, completed Bachelor of Arts studies in Ireland and Brazil, and his Masters studies in New York and The Netherlands. As a result, Distancia presents a unique ...

by Ludovico Granvassu
Django Bates celebrated his 60th birthday and 40th anniversary as a musician while marking Bird's centennial with adventurous and witty arrangements for the Norrbotten Big Band. That gives us a cue to look into more Scandinavian and large-ensemble music, following the adventures of Bates' bassist Petter Eldh, as part of the much awaited return of Lucia Cadotsch's Speak Low project in which he works side-by-side with Swedish saxophonist Otis Sandsjo who, in turn, can be found in Martin Perret's L'Anderer. ...

by Angelo Leonardi
Sanctuary rilegge in formato orchestrale dieci composizioni di Moore, già incise in precedenza con sue formazioni; brani che acquisiscono nuove identità grazie agli arrangiamenti dello stesso leader e di tre colleghi: il prestigioso orchestratore olandese Henk Meutgeert e i pianisti/compositori Christian Elsasser e Frank Calberg. Quest'album realizzato con la famosa big band tedesca è un'occasione per riaffermare il valore di Michael Moore sia come solista che come compositore, come fanno altre recenti produzioni discografiche: Cretan ...

by Giuseppe Segala
Si aggiungono due nuovi lavori al sostanzioso catalogo Ramboy, l'etichetta autogestita dal sassofonista e clarinettista Michael Moore, fondata nel 1991, che documenta l'attività ampia e multiforme del musicista. La conoscenza di Moore è forse maggiormente legata alla sua presenza nel Clusone Trio, formazione nata nel 1988 con Ernst Reijseger al violoncello e Han Bennink alla batteria (in un primo momento c'era pure Guus Janssen al pianoforte) nell'ambito dello storico festival della cittadina bergamasca: musicisti che già da tempo collaboravano, in ...
