Long recognized as one of the finest jazz pianists around, Roberto Magris has an extensive discography documenting his talents as a composer and his skills as a virtuoso pianist.

Kenny Dorham: From 'Round Midnight At The Cafe Bohemia To Matador Revisited
by Chris May
In his mostly sane and admirable book Black Nationalism and the Revolution In Music (Pathfinder Press, 1970), Frank Kofsky describes Kenny Dorham as “house trained." The calculated insult attempts to conflate Dorham's respect for form and structure with an Uncle Tom outlook on the world. Some might say Dorham would have been justified in following (or, ...

Black Lives: People Of Earth
by Glenn Astarita
Black Lives is not just a band; it is a movement. Comprised of globally recognized artists across generations and genres, their mission transcends mere musical performance. They aim for a utopia, especially in these turbulent times where words of hate and racism proliferate faster than cat videos on the internet. Now more than ever, their cause ...
SticklerPhonics: Technicolor Ghost Parade
by Mark Corroto
For drummer, composer, and bandleader Scott Amendola it ain't nothing but a party. From his early days with guitarist Charlie Hunter's ensembles and their later collaboration with T.J. Kirk which covered the music of Thelonious Monk, James Brown, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Amendola has been an entertaining and maybe more important immersive musician. He seeks out ...
Hill Collective: Tonal Prophecy
by Chris May
The eight-piece Hill Collective hails from deep space via Brighton, a town an hour's train ride from London on Britain's south coast. In the contradictory way of many so-called collectives, it appears to have a leader, the alto saxophonist and composer/arranger Pete Piskov. But Piskov is there to marshal the madness not to repress it.
Byron Asher's Skrontch Music: Lord, when you send the rain
by Gareth Thompson
The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was the most destructive one in American history. Seven states were affected and the political fallout saw Herbert Hoover reach the White House by 1929. The saxophonist Byron Asher believes another political action was the development of New Orleans jazz, early in the twentieth century, in direct resistance to the ...
Max Kutner: Partial Custody
by Glenn Astarita
Max Kutner's album Partial Custody is a captivating odyssey through intricately woven soundscapes. With this debut recording from his new trio, Kutner unveils a refreshing evolution in his artistic journey. Having previously dipped his toes into the avant-garde pool with the enigmatic Kutner's Evil Genius, known for their sonic experimentation, the artist now embarks ...
Ivo Perelman / Matthew Shipp: Magical Incantation
by Mike Jurkovic
If the purest form of communication is music then Magical Incantation--the latest free-form essay to flow from the spirits of free jazz titans sax master Ivo Perelman and piano master Matthew Shipp--could very well be the very definition. No strangers to each other (the two have released nineteen duet recordings, not to mention their ...
