James Newton Quartet: Live in Willisau
by Giuseppe Segala
Ecco una pubblicazione molto opportuna, a favore di un musicista il cui lavoro è assai poco documentato. Ne fotografa un momento iniziale, immerso nel campo del jazz, dentro un percorso che, nell'arco di oltre cinquant'anni, ha successivamente toccato tappe di molteplice orientamento, sviluppandosi nella musica accademica contemporanea, per orchestra e da camera, per balletto e danza ...
Marco Colonna: Eight Decades
by Neri Pollastri
Marco Colonna è autore prolifico, solito sia documentare situazioni musicali più o meno estemporanee cogliendole dal vivo, sia dedicare lavori musicali ad eventi, luoghi, persone, specie se simbolicamente rappresentanti della critica complessità del mondo in cui viviamo. Per questo, troppo spesso, alcuni suoi lavori non ricevono l'attenzione che meriterebbero, giacché quello che fa --vuoi per le ...
Mike Westbrook: The Cortège Live At The BBC 1980
by Duncan Heining
Mike Westbrook turns ninety on 21st March. That would be reason enough to celebrate the man and his astonishing career in music, but add to that the release of the Mike Westbrook Orchestra's The Cortège Live at the BBC 1980 and balloons and bunting would seem in order. The original album is currently missing ...
Matthieu Mazué: Turn of Events
by Mike Jurkovic
In layman's terms, Turn of Events, French pianist Matthieu Mazué's 577 Records trio debut with fellow arsonists--Francisco Mela and trumpeter Diego Hedez--is a head rush. An old-fashioned, split-minute, play-by-play head rush that gives you a bit of vertigo at first. Which is really very cool and okay, because in this flood-the-zone environment, a bit of vertigo ...
Steven Husted and Friends: Two Nights--'Live'
by Jack Bowers
Two Nights--'Live,' Texas-based bassist Steven Husted's third album, was recorded in front of a (presumably) appreciative audience in April and May 2026 at the Brass Peacock in Georgetown, Texas. The word “presumably" is needed because, for reasons unknown, audience response at the end of each number has been erased. Husted's “friends" on this concert ...
Marilyn Crispell / Anders Jormin: Memento
by Mike Jurkovic
Even with her most youthful and combustible studies into our common language--1988's solo watermark Labyrinths (Victor); with Paul Motian and Reggie Workman, Live In Zurich (Leo, 1989); to the mature, questing, and timeless Amaryllis (Blue Note, 2001) with Motian and Gary Peacock; and the trio muscle of Dreamstruck (Not Two, 2018) alongside bassist Joe Fonda and ...
Manu Delago & Max ZT: Deuce
by Scott Gudell
It seems Manu Delago was always destined to be a musician. Although his first instruments of choice included piano and accordion, he found himself drawn to rock drumming by the time he moved into his teenage years. The goal of mastering various percussion instruments has been his passion, but he has methodically drifted toward jazz and ...
Gil Livni: All In
by Jack Bowers
All In is the second recording by Israeli-born guitarist Gil Livni, and it is a humdinger from start to finish, thanks to Livni's remarkable skills as a player and composer, and those of his stellar teammates: saxophonist Amit Friedman, organist Yonatan Riklis and drummer Yonatan Rosen. Singly or as a unit, they make All In a ...
Club D'Elf: Loon & Thrush
by Doug Collette
In overseeing Club D'Elf since its inception over 25 years ago, founder-leader-bassist Mike Rivard has maintained a core lineup around which has revolved a colorful cast of collaborators as eclectic as the music they have played. Loon & Thrush is no exception, yet its creation took place in the shadow of the passing of ...
Kathy Ingraham: Jazz Dreams
by Richard J Salvucci
Occasionally an album comes along that is different and original, but not contrived. It can be unusual, but somehow familiar. Jazz Dreams is that kind of recording, a blues treatment of several canonical rock tunes that evokes shades of Blossom Dearie and Nina Simone with a touch of Steve Winwood's Traffic. Kathy Ingraham--who has imagination, chops ...
