John Hollenbeck: A Blessing
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'aspetto di A Blessing che più colpisce al primo ascolto è il lungo snodarsi delle linee melodiche, lontano dalla stringatezza percussiva tipica del jazz per big band. I suoi temi avvolgono ipnotici, quasi minimalisti, costruiti su cellule che sviluppano lente e inesorabili, affidate a insiemi strumentali tipici della scrittura di Gil Evans e altri arrangiatori bianchi ...

John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble: A Blessing
by Mark Corroto
I heard the news today oh boy, four thousand holes in the jazz canon. And though the holes were rather small, they had to count them all.

The sixteen-minute song, as well as the rest of the tunes on the disc, are Hollenbeck originals; and while the Schneider influence is apparent--both Schneider and Hollenbeck ...
John Hollenbeck: A Blessing
by David Adler
John Hollenbeck has made several small-group recordings, but a large ensemble suits his advanced compositional voice especially well.

The drummer/bandleader's music is a bit ...
John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble: A Blessing
by Paul Olson
Jazz and contemporary composition, playfulness and prayer, intensity and sweetness: in the musical world of composer/percussionist John Hollenbeck and on the brand new CD by his Large Ensemble, A Blessing, all these elements mingle. Fans of Hollenbeck's Claudia Quintet or any of his other groups (Quartet Lucy, Bleckmann/Hollenbeck Duo) will be prepared for just how well ...
