Nguyen Le: Signature Edition 1
by John Kelman
Few musicians embody the word “fusion" more than Parisian-born guitarist Nguyên Lê. The son of Vietnamese immigrants, for the past 25 years he's been mining a combination of fusion by the more conventional definition--the infusion of rock energy into the jazz sphere--with fusion in a broader sense, the seamless integration of music from cultures around the ...
Heinz Sauer with Michael Wollny & Joachim Kühn: IF (BLUE) THEN (BLUE)
by AAJ Italy Staff
È a tutt'oggi difficile regalare emozioni con la formula del duo tra sax e pianoforte, largamente esplorata dal mercato discografico del jazz. Un compito tanto più arduo e rischioso se si pensa di rivisitare alcuni classici del davisiano “Kind of Blue". E solo tre autentici fuoriclasse come Sauer, Kühn e Wollny potevano non lasciarsi ingabbiare dalle ...

by Chris May
Since the death of pianist Esbjörn Svensson in summer 2008, a few months before the release of e.s.t.'s Leucocyte (ACT Music, 2008)--an album which seemed to promise a second revolutionary stage in the Swedish group's music--fans have been obliged to look elsewhere for rock-infused reorientations of the piano trio tradition. There have been plenty of places ...
Thierry Lang: Lyoba Revisted
by John Kelman
New sources of inspiration can sometimes be no farther away than your own backyard. Coming from Fribourg--a small, beautifully preserved old town in the west of Switzerland--the classically trained and jazz-savvy pianist Thierry Lang has long been drawn to area's endemic music, in particular that of Joseph Bovet, a priest who lived in the area from ...
