John Patitucci Trio: Remembrance
by Troy Collins
Grammy-winning bassist John Patitucci's trio recording Remembrance, a heartfelt ode to his heroes and mentors, is the realization of a longstanding dream.

The seeds for this date were sown when an ...
Amadou & Mariam: The Magic Couple
by Chris May
Amadou & Mariam The Magic Couple Wrasse Records 2009 For most people outside Mali, and maybe France, Amadou & Mariam came out of nowhere in 2005 with Dimanche a Bamako (Nonesuch). But the duo had released three other, Paris-recorded CDs before their Manu Chao-produced breakthrough, which were themselves ...
John Patitucci Trio: Remembrance
by Chris May
It's true what they say: you can't judge an album by looking at the cover. Contrary to the mood suggested by the title and the monochrome sleeve shot of an autumnal city park, bassist John Patitucci's Remembrance is a warm and perky affair.

Ali Farka Toure: Red & Green
by AAJ Staff
Much has been said about the West African origins of the blues, but the only real concensus is that the music of Mali, particularly from the north, sounds remarkably similar to early African American forms that emerged first in the Mississippi Delta, then later in Chicago and beyond. This information comes as no surprise to the ...
