John Scofield: Live
by John Kelman
John Scofield LiveEnja Records1977 After a lengthy hiatus, Rediscovery returns with an album that may not have represented the first time I'd heard John Scofield...but it was certainly the album that cemented my already firm impression that this was a guitarist on whom I'd have to keep a close watch. Nearly ...
Michael Gibbs & The NDR Big Band: Play a Bill Frisell Set List / In My View
by Ian Patterson
Though his recording career dates back to the early 1960s, Zimbabwe-born arranger, composer and musician Michael Gibbs hasn't always been as prolific as a leader as he might have been. Five albums in the first half the 1970 represented his most industrious period of creativity, as teaching, television and film work and arranging for a surprisingly ...

Michael Gibbs and the NDR Big Band: Play a Bill Frisell Set List / In My View
by Angelo Leonardi
Michael Gibbs è stato un protagonista del jazz britannico di fine anni sessanta/inizio settanta, ma il suo brillante esordio come orchestratore non ha avuto i riconoscimenti che meritava. Il suo primo disco Michael Gibbs e il successivo Tanglewood 63 sono opere ricche d'immaginazione, che seguono di poco le sperimentazioni elettriche di Don Ellis e anticipano di ...
Chris Smith: At The Intersection Of Scholarship, Performance and Pedagogy
by David A. Orthmann
In the introduction to his book Jazz Matters (University Of California Press, 2010), David Ake writes about bringing “together the practical side of making jazz, the pedagogical side of teaching it, and the academic side of writing about it." (p. 12) “Nothing but good," Ake adds, “can come if we increase the numbers of scholars who ...
Nate Radley: Morphoses
by Ian Patterson
It took Nate Radley a while to graduate from sideman/band member to leader, but The Big Eyes (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2012) was an impressive debut that called for a quick follow-up. Happily, Radley seems to be on a roll. Carillon (Steeplechase, 2013) pitted Radley alongside Ted Poor, Chris Cheek and Matt Clohesy on an eclectic ...
ZZ Quartet: Beyond the Lines
by Glenn Astarita
Three Europeans and celebrated American drummer Adam Nussbaum stir up some chutzpah via the guitar-accordion based format. In recent times the accordion's role in jazz-centric vernaculars has been expanding. And while this quartet doesn't invent a newfound genre, its spunky and articulate disposition, containing all original compositions engender a sophisticated outlook. With alternating tempos and several ...

Swallow/Talmor/Nussbaum: Singular Curves
by Vincenzo Roggero
Tre generazioni a confronto -Steve Swallow classe 1940, Adam Nussbaum 1955, Ohad Talmor 1970 -ma non si direbbe. I tre musicisti suonano come vecchi amici che si incontrano dopo lungo tempo e ritrovano immediatamente il linguaggio della sobrietà, dell'eleganza, della misura, non una frase di troppo, non una parola fuori posto, segni appena accennati, ammiccamenti che ...
Lara Iacovini: Right Together
by Luigi Sforza
Right Together, disco della cantante Lara Iacovini, gode di un indiscutibile primato. Si tratta della prima partecipazione di Steve Swallow in un album di una cantante italiana. Tale presenza, unitamente a quella del batterista Adam Nussbaum e di tutti gli altri bravi musicisti, conferisce al progetto un'indiscutibile valore aggiunto. A ciò si aggiunga un originale ...
