Camila Nebbia: A Reflection Distorts Over Water
by John Sharpe
From her base in Berlin, Argentine tenor saxophonist Camila Nebbia continues to impress, extending her increasingly international reputation across the Atlantic on A Reflection Distorts Over Water. For a session recorded in the studio in Woodstock, NY, she enlists talent both established and lately emerged. Even after a storied career, most famously as part of Anthony ...
Kenny Barron / Ray Drummond / Ben Riley: So Many Lovely Things: Live in Brecon
by Jack Bowers
Search high and low, look under houses and over rooftops, scan YouTube and social media--and there is no chance you will find a more adept and perceptive jazz trio than the one you will hear and appreciate on So Many Lovely Things. Pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Ben Riley recorded the two-disc album ...
Mary Flower And Leon Cotter: Chants of Rain
by Doug Collette
Musicians with genuine camaraderie share a special pleasure when playing together. And the joy deepens when the musicianship is unimpeded by intrusions on stage or in the studio. The collaboration of finger-picking guitarist Mary Flower and clarinetist Leon Cotter, Chants of Rain, is just one of those ultra-rare instances of mutual delight. In eleven ...
Steven Bernstein, Scotty Hard: ResoNation Trio/Ultra Resonance
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un CD di 77:42 che di fatto ne racchiude due. Ecco la nuova offerta-sfida, come (quasi) sempre originale e in questo caso specifico anche piuttosto inattesa, di Steven Bernstein: due diversi organici (il secondo semplicemente aumentato di due elementi, ma con quale cambio di prospettiva), due titoli, due copertine, due filosofie diverse (anche se per più ...
Marion Brown: Live in Europe 1968 & 1972
by Mark Corroto
There was not much room in the crowded landscape of the 1960s avant-garde for everyone to receive equal attention. Critics and listeners alike gravitated toward the towering presence of John Coltrane, whose music dominated both record sales and jazz journalism. As a result, visionary figures such as Eric Dolphy, Albert Ayler and Marion Brown often found ...
Schapiro 17: Best Laid Plans
by Jack Bowers
There are times when even the Best Laid Plans are unable to generate quite enough horsepower to realize their full promise and purpose. New York City-based composer and arranger Jon Schapiro clearly had a plan in mind for the third recording by his large ensemble, Schapiro 17. The plan evidently included broadening the horizons of contemporary ...
Lucy Yeghiazaryan: Hey Love!
by Pierre Giroux
It is always a treat to hear a singer who trusts the song. On Hey Love!, recorded at Van Gelder Studios in October 2025, Lucy Yeghiazaryan takes the direct route, usually the most forgiving. There are no conceptual detours here, no attempts to modernize the Great American Songbook by dismantling it. Instead, Yeghiazaryan takes control of ...
Miles Davis: Miles '56: The Prestige Recordings
by Mark Corroto
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus never met Miles Davis, but his famous observation, “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man," seems tailor-made for the trumpeter. Few artists transformed themselves as completely or as often as Davis. Listeners encountering his music today can ...
Tell No Lies: Mantica
by Neri Pollastri
Giunto al suo quarto album in dieci anni, il quintetto Tell No Lies prosegue sulla traccia del precedente Hide Nothing, uscito nel 2022 sempre per Aut Records, riprendendo spirito e stilemi della musica della “diaspora sudafricana" --una tradizione che inopinatamente non ha avuto molti epigoni --per rielaborarli in modo originale, all'insegna di quella poetica che da ...
Tom Ollendorff: Where in the World
by Marco Iacoboni
Con Where in the World Tom Ollendorff, ribadisce la sua voce come una delle più limpide e tecnicamente rifinite della nuova chitarra jazz europea. Nato a Londra nel 1992, Ollendorff non è certo il classico virtuoso che cerca lo scontro fisico con lo strumento. Questo lavoro lo conferma con una estetica fondata su un'eleganza quasi ...
