Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio: I Told You So
by Mark Corroto
To quote The Stranger in the film The Big Lebowski (1998), “Sometimes there's a man. I won't say a hero, 'cause what's a hero? Sometimes there's a man, and I'm talkin' about the dude here, sometimes there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place." In the 21st century, you might nominate Delvon ...
Nicki & Patrick Adams: Lynx
by Maurizio Zerbo
L'ascolto di questo CD desterà sicuramente l'interesse del pubblico italiano nei confronti dei fratelli Nicki e Patrick Adams, giovani promesse del jazz statunitense. La loro tecnica sopraffina, rispettivamente al pianoforte e alla tromba, si abbina a una fervida inventiva che vola in alto verso territori raramente esplorati nell'improvvisazione jazzistica. Il loro retroterra eurocolto riaffiora ...
Francesco Caligiuri Orchestra: Arcaico Mare
by Angelo Leonardi
Dopo l'eccellente Renaissance del 2019--un quintetto rafforzato sulla timbrica grave dalla tuba di Michel Godard--il multistrumentista cosentino Francesco Caligiuri pubblica ancora per l'etichetta Dodicilune un progetto orchestrale nato per il Roccella Jazz Festival e poi inciso in studio nel febbraio 2020. L'organico è costituito dalla sezione ritmica più un quintetto di ottoni, una ...
Chris Nordman Trio: High Wire
by Jack Bowers
Time was when people retired to Florida to bask in the sunshine, play some golf and tend their backyard gardens. That was then; this is now. Pianist and organist Chris Nordman, who has roamed the world for more than half a century as a working musician and now calls Florida home, has no plans to rest ...
Nikolett Pankovits: River
by Friedrich Kunzmann
A dominating proportion of Hungarian lyrics paired with various Hungarian folkloric elements spread across fourteen compositions lend influential character but aren't all-defining on vocalist Nikolett Pankovits' ambitious sophomore outing, River. On the album, the Hungarian singer, based out of New York, is joined by an octet choir of handpicked Hungarian vocalists, who add complex ...

The Nels Cline Singers: Share the Wealth
by Vincenzo Roggero
L'idea era di registrare delle lunghe improvvisazioni per poi selezionare frammenti, operare un copia-incolla di davisiana memoria e dar vita ad una sorta di mosaico/collage psichedelico. L'ascolto del materiale registrato, la percezione della magia sprigionata dalle sessions e della unicità dei brani hanno cambiato le carte in tavola e suggerito di pubblicare integralmente, senza sforbiciate, quello ...
Dipace, Massaria, Gallo, Faraò: Collera City
by Neri Pollastri
Collera City è un lavoro di improvvisazione radicale, registrato immediatamente dopo la notizia della scomparsa di Cecil Taylor, al quale è ispirato e dedicato—i titoli dei brani altro non sono che la scomposizione di una frase programmatica del grande pianista afroamericano. A realizzarlo è un quartetto che vede il pianoforte del giovane e interessantissimo Alberto Dipace ...
Group Sounds Four & Five: Black & White Raga
by Chris May
So seismic were the eruptions of British pop and rock in the mid 1960s, along with the effusive chronicling which accompanied them, that the parallel fecundity of the country's jazz scene was widely overlooked then and has been largely forgotten since. Contemporary media coverage was practically non-existent except on those occasions when a musician got busted. ...
