Ryan Blotnick: The Woods
by Vincenzo Roggero
L'ascolto di The Woods, quinta fatica discografica, dopo una decina di anni di silenzio come leader del chitarrista Ryan Blotnick, trasporta l'ascoltatore in una dimensione atemporale, una bolla protetta dalle insidie, dal frastuono e dalle brutture che lo circondano. Il quartetto si muove discreto, con passi felpati ma soprattutto si pone al servizio della chitarra di ...
Dylan Jones: Statue
by Andrew Hunter
Like so many talented young musicians in London, Dylan Jones spent some time developing his skills with Tomorrow's Warriors, a talent development organization without which we might never have heard Courtney Pine, Steve Williamson, Yazz Ahmed, Nubya Garcia, Soweto Kinch... The London scene would be very different without them. Jones played in Ezra Collective ...
Arnold Ludvig Quintet: Live at Maggies ’18

Cecil Taylor Orchestra Humane: At Iridium 2004
by Jack Kenny
At Iridium 2004 is a vast work. Cecil Taylor also leaves behind similarly vast territories of sound: the 10-disc Feel Trio recordings 2 Ts For A Lovely T (Codanza Records, 1995) or the monumental In Berlin '88 box (FMP, 1989). Within jazz, his music stands like a monolith--challenging and imposing. Cecil Taylor Orchestra Humane's At Iridium ...
Jordan White: Music for Imaginary Spaces
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il chitarrista australiano Jordan White, divisosi fra Melbourne, Lipsia e Weimar, è senza dubbio alcuno un musicista curioso: “mentre esploravo il reverb design--racconta--studiando vecchi documenti di ingegneria audio, ricostruendo modelli acustici e programmando oggetti SuperCollider personalizzati per creare riverberi insoliti ed estremi, ho sviluppato un interesse parallelo per la musica sacra, partendo dall'interesse di lunga data ...
YUGEN: Picture #2

Duchess: A Marvelous Party
by Pierre Giroux
A great party is never just an event. It is a sequence of emotions, encounters, expectations, surprises, fleeting romances, moments of reflection, and, ultimately, gratitude. On A Marvelous Party, Duchess (Amy Cervini, Hilary Gardner, Melissa Stylianou) transforms that universal experience into an irresistible jazz journey. More than a collection of standards and popular songs, this is ...
Michel Petrucciani: Kuumbwa
by Stefano Merighi
Alla fine del suo ricordo personale, contenuto nel libretto di questo doppio album, Enrico Pieranunzi si rammarica di come, in qualche modo, Michel Petrucciani sia stato dimenticato dal mondo del jazz. Il mondo a cui aveva donato tutto se stesso. Escluso da una vita “regolare," condannato dall'osteogenesi imperfecta a far convivere intelligenza e sensibilità sopraffine in ...
