Miriam Elhajli: The Uncertainty of Signs

Read "The Uncertainty of Signs" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Miriam Elhajli è una giovane cantautrice e musicologa attiva a New York, influenzata dal folklore venezuelano e marocchino. Una tradizione assimilata in famiglia, che lei fonde con la sensibilità del jazz moderno e i modelli di Joni Mitchell e altre vocalist degli anni sessanta/settanta. Il suo debutto discografico Observations, inciso nel 2018 e pubblicato due anni dopo, ha colpito critica e pubblico per la bellezza delle sue composizioni, interpretate con un'intima colloquialità romantica che ricordava la Mitchell ...

Oz Noy: Snapdragon

Read "Snapdragon" reviewed by Mike Jacobs


It's an old sentiment but it still holds that great instrumental chops, enthralling as they may be, are fairly meaningless on their own. And quite frankly, they are pretty ubiquitous these days with the internet exposure machine going full tilt. Given all that, it's quite easy for the listener to become inured with technical prowess-- especially wizardry of the fretboard. So to say Oz Noy is a fantastic guitarist just isn't enough anymore. It's fortunate then that what ...

Jason Lindner: Beyond the Solo

Read "Jason Lindner: Beyond the Solo" reviewed by Franz A. Matzner


Jason Linder has been at the center of modern jazz's evolution for nearly two decades. His distinctive and flexible piano and synthesizer sound have placed him in a bewildering array of musical contexts and whether it's accompanying Anat Cohen, collaborating with Dafnis Prieto, or challenging the very edges of contemporary jazz--edges he has helped carve--Lindner consistently presents incisive musical forays that manipulate rhythm and sonic texture as much as they do melody and harmony. Equally articulate away from ...

Jason Lindner: NowVsNow

Read "NowVsNow" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Gives You è una band formata da tre elementi, che cambia dimensione a seconda dei collaboratori di turno - da segnalare in questo NowVsNow Meshell Ndegeocello, Anat Cohen e Kurt Rosenvinkel - e che si muove in una zona franca a cavallo tra elettronica, lounge, spoken music, ambient, jazz, etc. Mente di tutto questo è il pianista compositore, agitatore musicale e produttore Jason Lindner, che giostrando tra piccole formazioni e una leggendaria big band è diventato ben presto una delle ...

Jason Lindner: Now Vs. Now

Read "Now Vs. Now" reviewed by Lyn Horton


In the debut of the project Now vs. Now, keyboardist and composer Jason Lindner seizes onto a multi-lingual, multi-faceted approach to convey a global message of peace through non-violence. The group includes Panagiotis Andreou on electric bass and drummer Mark Guiliana, providing a core for the multi-ethnic group of artists Lindner has chosen to augment his trio: Baba Israel recites his poetry as well as provides beat-box grounding; trumpeter Avishai Cohen and saxophonist Anat Cohen both add brass coloration; Yosvany ...

The Jason Lindner Big Band: Live at the Jazz Gallery

Read "Live at the Jazz Gallery" reviewed by Laurel Gross


There's nothing quite like hearing a big band in person to partake of all the vibes in the room. But Live at the Jazz Gallery will give large ensemble fans a great sampling of what the distinctive and highly enjoyable Jason Lindner Big Band can offer. Lindner and his talented crew flawlessly present a menu of mostly his own music that is eminently accessible but also possessing enough pizzazz, layers of ingenuity (incorporating Latin and Middle-Eastern accents), both robust and ...
