Adam Rogers: DICE

Read "DICE" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


At some point in time, fusion lost its way. Some say it never really had a firm enough direction, existing only as a symbol of excess, power, and virtuosity to begin with. But those steeped in '70s and early '80s music of this sort know the truth: A perfect blend of rip-roaring lines, one-step-beyond melodicism, feats ...

Read "Panama Jazz Festival 2017" reviewed by Mark Holston


Panama Jazz Festival Ciudad del Saber, Republic of Panama January 10-14, 2017 In terms of the number of marquee musicians it features over the course of five days, the annual Panama Jazz Festival is far from being in the big leagues of similar events in Latin American. That, however, only tells part ...

Randy Brecker: Hittin' It with "RandyPOP!"

Read "Randy Brecker:  Hittin' It with "RandyPOP!"" reviewed by Bob Kenselaar


In his 62 years playing music--starting trumpet at eight years old--Randy Brecker has played all kinds of music, but for many years now, he's mostly been known as a solid, top-flight, first-call jazz player, a modern post-bop soloist and bandleader who carries around his old '70s fusion-funk Brecker Brothers fame in his back pocket. So, with ...

John Patitucci: Brooklyn

Read "Brooklyn" reviewed by Luca Muchetti


Il ritorno al passato di John Patitucci. Basterebbe il titolo, Brooklyn, per evocare esordi e gioventù del musicista statunitense, ma la scelta di utilizzare il solo basso elettrico in tutte e undici le tracce di questo nuovo album la dice lunga e ci libera da ogni possibile titubanza sulla direzione intrapresa dal bassista del Wayne Shorter ...

Randy Brecker: RandyPOP!

Read "RandyPOP!" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


This album gives new meaning to the idea of rewriting history. Before trumpeter Randy Brecker had ascended to the top rung on the jazz ladder he was making his mark as a hired gun in studios and on stages. His horn can be heard on numerous classic recordings, including those of James Brown, Donald Fagen, Bruce ...

Antonio Sanchez: Three Times Three & The Meridian Suite

Read "Antonio Sanchez: Three Times Three & The Meridian Suite" reviewed by Doug Collette


With his two simultaneously released albums, Three Times Three and The Meridian Suite, Antonio Sanchez posits himself as the next great drummer who's a great bandleader. Alternately emphasizing his composing skills and his musicianship, as he did on his acclaimed score to the film Birdman, this native of Mexico City never overtly draws attention to himself, ...

John Patitucci: Brooklyn

Read "Brooklyn" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Brooklyn is where it all started for John Patitucci. While the renowned bassist may have initially made his mark in sunny California, working with jazz luminaries and establishing himself as a strong presence in the studio scene in the '80s, his New York childhood helped to get him there. It's that starting point that serves as ...
