Vicious World: Vicious World Plays The Music of Rufus Wainwright

Read "Vicious World Plays The Music of Rufus Wainwright" reviewed by Dave Wayne


Rufus Wainwright is one of those musicians whose work straddles several different musical genres--pop, rock, Broadway, and folk music all figure prominently into his oeuvre. While not a jazz artist by any stretch, Wainwright's music is certainly sophisticated and multilayered enough to withstand instrumental reinvention by modern jazz artists. Even without vocals, Wainwright's artistry literally thrives ...

Vicious World: Plays the Music of Rufus Wainwright

Read "Plays the Music of Rufus Wainwright" reviewed by Andrew J. Sammut


Vicious World might have a field day on its tribute to the music of Rufus Wainwright, except the tunes are rarely that lighthearted. Let's just say the septet is moved to musical tears by the singer/songwriter's earnest melodies and bittersweet harmonies. Even that's putting it mildly. Anxious strings introduce Aaron Irwin's alto sax ...

Fresh Sound New Talent: Truth in Advertising

Read "Fresh Sound New Talent: Truth in Advertising" reviewed by J Hunter


Operating in an era dominated by contradictory product names (i.e. Jumbo Shrimp, Clear Skies Initiative), Fresh Sound New Talent delivers exactly what it advertises--the CD equivalent of showcase gigs for up and coming musicians--and leaves a the future in the hands of the players and the free market. With that in mind, here are four FSNT ...

Aaron Irwin Group, Blood and Thunder (Fresh Sound New Talent). In a tray card photograph, we see the 30-year-old alto saxophonist drinking a glass of milk and looking about eighteen. Irwin's compositions and arrangements have a concomitant freshness about them, and resourcefulness. His writing tends to make his quintet sound bigger. There is no piano; Ben ...

Aaron Irwin Group: Blood and Thunder

Read "Blood and Thunder" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


I musicisti coinvolti in questa incisione, in particolar modo gli ormai affermati Chris Cheek e Ben Monder e il meno noto Aaron Irwin, oltre a essere stati lanciati a livello internazionale dalla Fresh Sound/New Talent, vantano con la label catalana una lunga frequentazione testimoniata da numerose incisioni. E’ logico quindi che Blood and Thunder si inserisca ...

Aaron Irwin: Blood and Thunder

Read "Blood and Thunder" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


Blood and Thunder sounds like a title that Bob Dylan would give to one of his albums--a mixture of Blood on the Tracks (Columbia Records, 1975) and “Thunder on the Mountain," the opening cut on Modern Times (Columbia Records, 2006). But alto saxophonist Aaron Irwin--thirty years old, bespectacled and white shirt-and-tied in the mode of early ...

Aaron Irwin Group: Into The Light

Read "Into The Light" reviewed by Budd Kopman


Jordi Pujol, who manages FSNT, has a real knack for finding talented players and giving them a chance to record. Into The Light only further demonstrates his sensibilities. Still shy of thirty, Aaron Irwin has very mature musical instincts and an eclectic taste, with playing that is rhythmically quite free and unpredictable and compositions with a ...
