Barry Altschul, David Izenson, Perry Robinson: Stop Time: Live At Prince Street, 1978
by John Sharpe
If at all familiar to modern day listeners, David Izenzon's name is most likely to ring a bell for his bass wizardry on Ornette Coleman's two-volume At The Golden Circle Stockholm (Blue Note, 1965). But the archive recording Stop Time is a reminder of just what listeners are missing. Izenson remained active well after his sojourn ...
Franco D'Andrea, Franco Tonani, Bruno Tommaso: Modern Art Trio
by Giuseppe Segala
Fin dal 1971, anno di pubblicazione dell'unico disco che ne documenta l'attività, Modern Art Trio ha fatto parlare tanto di sé. E quel lavoro non cessa di parlare a sua volta all'ascoltatore, riattizzando da punti di vista sempre nuovi l'originaria passione. D'altra parte, è lo stesso Franco D'Andrea a sottolineare l'importanza del Modern Art Trio: “Da ...
Steve Argüelles, Francesco Bigoni, Benoit Delbecq, Francesco Diodati: Weave4
by Neri Pollastri
È piuttosto singolare la musica di questo Weave4 (Parco della Musica Records): aperta fino ad apparir sfrangiata, eppure con un andamento narrativo; astratta e d'ispirazione contemporanea, ma al tempo stesso con un suo palese gusto melodico; con un cuore acustico, avvolto però in un alone elettronico; dubbiosa ed esitante nelle direzioni da prendere, ma ciononostante coerente ...
Miles Davis Quintet: In Concert At The Olympia, Paris 1957
by Ian Patterson
Another live Miles Davis recording. Well, once the studio outtakes have dried up, this is the only seam left to mine. Happily, with advances in sound technology, old radio broadcasts are increasingly being dusted down and treated to a little digital TLC. Since 1983, Fresh Sounds Records has been a leading light in reissues and archival ...
Daunik Lazro, Benjamin Duboc, Mathieu Bec: Standards Combustion
by Mark Corroto
The French trio of saxophonist Daunik Lazro, bassist Benjamin Duboc, and drummer Mathieu Bec has released a collection of music with the fitting title Standards Combustion. Their covers of two compositions each by John Coltrane and Albert Ayler, and one each by Steve Lacy and Wayne Shorter do not so much burn down these nuggets as ...
Martin Iaies featuring Julian Arguelles: New Beginnings
by Chris May
Born in Argentina but resident in Graz, Austria since 2019, Martin Iaies' aptly titled New Beginnings is the guitarist's second album, following Rewind & FF (El Club del Disco, 2018). And it is a zinger. In Graz, Iaies completed formal guitar studies in 2022, and recorded New Beginnings the same year. He leads ...
Sullivan Fortner: Solo Game
by Mike Jurkovic
Mentored by Fred Hersch and Jason Moran, and produced by Hersch, Solo Game puts pianist Sullivan Fortner in a really good place. That is before the music even starts. Then it does start with a sly and subdued solo on Stevie Wonder's buoyant 1973 top tenner, “Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing," while dropping subtle hints ...
Solstein: Solstein
by Glenn Astarita
This album marks the debut of the Norwegian/American band that spins a positive vibe that spans funk, jazz fusion, and groove-based jazz rock along with nods to classic era progressive rock. American A-list drummer Keith Carlock (Steely Dan, Toto, Sting), known for his exceptional drumming, joined Solstein for the album, which projects an exhilarating synthesis of ...
Reggie Quinerly: The Thousandth Scholar
by Chris May
The Thousandth Scholar is Los Angeles-based drummer and composer Reggie Quinerly's fifth album, each out on his Redefinition label. Quinerly themes his albums. His debut was Music Inspired By Freedmantown (2012), a tribute to the Houston neighborhood where he was born and raised. It was followed by Invictus (2015), a salute to hard bop, Words In ...
Johnny Hunter / Mark Hanslip / Olie Brice: Divisions
by John Sharpe
Divisions might seem a strange choice of title for such a cohesive set. It is the name of a four-part suite written by drummer Johnny Hunter for this all British trio completed by bassist Olie Brice and tenor saxophonist Mark Hanslip. As well as his own dates, such as Pale Blue Dot (Northern Contemporary, 2020) for ...
