Delfeayo Marsalis: Crescent City Jewels
by Angelo Leonardi
L'Uptown Jazz Orchestra di Delfeayo Marsalis torna col suo estroverso programma che esalta la tradizione orchestrale swing e mainstream, più il multiforme patrimonio popolare di New Orleans in una sorta di gumbo musicale dove s'incrociano jazz, funk, R&B, cajun, zydeco eccetera. Anche questo nuovo album si propone di diffondere gioia tra il pubblico con ...
Anita Donndorff: Thirsty Soul
by Dan Bilawsky
The second album from Argentina-born, New York-based vocalist Anita Donndorff owes its identity to both of her homes. With studio sessions taking place in Buenos Aires and the East Village in Manhattan, and some Argentinians and two Americans contributing to Latin-inflected takes on songbook standards, this notable newcomer proudly displays her history through Thirsty Soul.
The Circling Sun: Orbits
by James Taylor
The Circling Sun plays spiritual jazz with reverence and a sense of reverie. Formed in Tāmaki Makaurau (the Māori name for Auckland, New Zealand), the seven- member ensemble crafts rich tapestries that stretch to the stars with feet planted firmly on the dancefloor. Their sophomore full-length album, Orbits, finds the collective coming into its own, expanding ...
Pink Floyd: Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII
by Doug Collette
Listening to any Pink Floyd these days, now over fifty years since the release of Dark Side of the Moon (Capitol, 1972) compels all manner of 'What if?...' hypotheses. And hearing At Pompeii MCMLXII, work preserved for posterity during the gestation of the aforementioned breakthrough album, evokes particularly thought-provoking notions about the evolution of this quartet ...
Christopher Kunz, Florian Fischer: Die Unwucht, Disperation And Focus – First Visit
by Alberto Bazzurro
Inciso alla fine di maggio del 2023, questo album vede uno di fronte all'altro due dei più avventurosi improvvisatori della scena tedesca contemporanea. Lo provano gli otto brani qui presenti, liberi (e nessuno oltre i dieci minuti, quindi anche contenuti) quanto attenti alla forma globale e all'equilibrio di ciascuno nel totale. Ciò ci dice che, in ...
Xavier Lecouturier: I Remember Why Now
by Paul Rauch
Wisdom is in part gathered by the realization that one can only be honest with oneself. There are no lies, only distractions and suppositions that put vision and truth at bay. The wisdom and truth that produces great music is not only arrived at by immersion into the art itself, but the immersion and subsequent understanding ...
Daniel Garbin: Rising
by Jack Bowers
Rising is the debut recording from Romanian-born guitarist Daniel Garbin who shows his versatility on the album's opening track (and title song) by performing it on his second instrument, the Indian sitar. Although that is not merely a gimmick (he plays the sitar quite well), Garbin stays with guitar the rest of the ...
Germana Stella La Sorsa and Tom Ollendorff: After Hours
by Troy Dostert
For an EP that clocks in at a mere 25 or so minutes, there is a lot to enjoy on After Hours, vocalist Germana Stella La Sorsa's duo album with guitarist Tom Ollendorff. La Sorsa has been making a name for herself since her earliest days as a singer in Italy, while her visibility in the ...
Esthesis Quartet: Sound & Fury
by Vincenzo Roggero
Sound & Fury è legato a doppio filo a due eventi ravvicinati nel tempo. Da una parte il periodo pandemico nel quale i futuri membri del quartetto condividono via Zoom esperienze, motivazioni, obiettivi che porteranno alla formazione ufficiale del gruppo denominato Esthesis. Dall'altra la prematura scomparsa nel marzo 2022 di Ron Miles, mentore di due componenti ...

She follows the time-honored jazz tradition of reimagining familiar standards, complemented by three original compositions that showcase her strength as a songwriter. What distinguishes Merge beyond Harris' superb vocal artistry is the creative space ...
