Mike Jurkovic's Best Releases of 2017: Pianos Lead the Way
by Mike Jurkovic
There are some years when certain artists and their instrument stand tallest among the tall. This year it was piano players. Established names, exciting discoveries. Creation music for repeated listening, relentless invention, insight, humor, new equations. Each with a particular turn, a defining touch, that takes you past the chaos of our harshest days.

Anouar Brahem: Blue Maqams
by Mike Jurkovic
Oud-master Anouar Brahem's instantly intoxicating, Blue Maqams, caps off a truly remarkable year for ECM Records. Just think, the label's release schedule this year included essential recordings by Benedikt Jahnel Trio's The Invariant, Django Bates' breakthrough The Study of Touch, Colin Vallon Trio's Danse, Vijay Iyer Sextet's Far From Over, and Gary Peacock's Tangents, all of ...
Benedikt Jahnel Trio: The Invariant
by Niccolò Lucarelli
Il jazz di scuola europea si caratterizza per una maggior vicinanza alla musica classica e per certe atmosfere placide e riflessive, dove la melodia sembra attaccarsi alla pelle dell'ascoltatore come vento del deserto, e aprire una finestra sull'indagine della propria interiorità. Non fa eccezione The Invariant, ultima fatica del pianista tedesco Benedikt Jahnel, autore degli otto ...
Benedikt Jahnel Trio: The Invariant
by Mark Sullivan
Sometimes there's no substitute for experience, as demonstrated by this trio as it celebrates its tenth anniversary as a working unit. Last heard on Equilibrium (ECM, 2012), it's an international group that met through a series of lucky coincidences: Berlin-based pianist/composer Benedikt Jahnel is joined by Spanish bassist Antonio Miguel and Canadian drummer Owen Howard. Jahnel ...
Benedikt Jahnel Trio: The Invariant
by Karl Ackermann
The Invariant, as in a “constant," is a fitting title for Benedikt Jahnel Trio who have recorded as a unit since their debut Modular Concepts (Material label, 2008) and later moving on to the ECM label with Equilibrium (2012). Jahnel, a musician and mathematician in Berlin, has a deep appreciation for complex similarities between the two ...
Benedikt Jahnel Trio: Equilibrium
by AAJ Italy Staff
Un tedesco, uno spagnolo e un canadese compongono questo bel trio, che si muove su terreni magari già ampiamente sondati, ma lo fa con estremo buon gusto e assoluta padronanza della materia. La rotta di navigazione è in effetti quella classica (da una trentina d'anni in qua, almeno), un procedere - ed espandersi, e lievitare - ...

Benedikt Jahnel Trio in New York
Benedikt Jahnels Modular Concepts shines with crystal clarity and pure unsentimental emotion, from the first tone the music presents itself in such a natural way that one never questions but simply enjoys and follows along with it. Jahnel is a virtuoso whose harmonies and rhythmically ingenious playing radiate both intensity and transparency. First and foremost he ...
Benedikt Jahnel Trio: Modular Concepts
by AAJ Italy Staff
Le note di copertina dell'album sono scritte da Wolfgang Muthspiel. Sul sito di Jahnel, si possono invece leggere lusinghieri commenti espressi nei suoi confronti da musicisti come Richie Beirach, John Taylor, David Friedman. Certo il jazz non è più quello degli anni '60, ed il vecchio adagio “dimmi con chi suoni e ti dirò chi sei" ...
