Adriano Adewale
Throw aside preconceived musical prejudices, abandon all attempts to catalogue: a rich chemistry of cultural influences is at work in when the Adriano Adewale Group stop onto the stage. Rooted in the musical traditions of Nigeria, Angola and Brazil and infused with contemporary European classical and jazz styles, their debut album SEMENTES is a colourful cocktail of infectiously funky rhythms and intimate soulful ballads peppered with free-jazz improvisation.
Huw Warren: Choro Choro Choro
by Chris May
The Welsh pianist Huw Warren is not a household name--though he ought to be--so a little background to Choro Choro Choro is appropriate, just in case the album is taken to have effervesced out of nowhere. In the 1990s, Warren was co-leader of the singular London quartet Perfect Houseplants. The group's half-dozen albums ...

Live From Old York: Jim White, Vijay Venkat, Adriano Adewale & Benjamin Taubkin
by Martin Longley
Jim White Fibbers September 18, 2013 Three hours of oddball Americana. Well, the evening's opening act was a local songster, but Boss Caine sounded like he was growling deeply from across the Atlantic. He was followed with virtually no pause by Paul Fonfara, who offered five of his very ...
Benjamin Taubkin - Adriano Adewale: The Vortex Sessions
by AAJ Italy Staff
Idee inusuali ma incerte connotano la recente produzione discografica di questo duo brasiliano. Le infinite sfumature e i registri espressivi della propria tradizione musicale vengono abbandonati dai due musicisti in favore di un jazz elegante e lirico, tutt'altro che originale sul piano dell'organizzazione musicale. I due evitano le pastoie del Brasile da cartolina, ma rimangono intrappolati ...
