Blameful Isles: Strange But Not Entirely Unattractive
by Dave Wayne
Essentially a one-man-band based in Sweden, Blameful Isles is one of many artists who are actively rediscovering and re-processing the sounds of the early jazz-rock movement of the 1970s. Overall, the ongoing re-vitalization of jazz-rock and fusion has been a really good thing. For audiences of a certain age, the mere sound of a real Fender ...
Matthew Halsall: Matthew Halsall: On the Go (Special Edition)
by Phil Barnes
Slipping under the radar this low-key reissue of Matthew Halsall's classic 2011 album should not be ignored. Why so? Well rather than just tweak the tapes for a first vinyl issue Halsall, who it appears was not completely happy with the original mix, has taken the opportunity to commission a full remix and remaster by George ...
Coltrane-Younger-Douglas Trio al Cremona Jazz
by Vincenzo Roggero
For Turiya Trio Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi Cremona 16.04.2016 Un contrabbasso che parte sottovoce per aumentare gradualmente di intensità, gocce di rugiada che arrivano da delicate escursioni sulle corde dell'arpa ed il sax tenore che entra in sordina per poi abbandonarsi ad un viaggio che profuma di misticismo e di spiritualità, dove ...
I 10 Cd nel CD-Player di... Adam Rudolph
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Alice Coltrane -Journey in Satchidinanda (Impulse! -1971). Uno dei primi LP comprati e ancora uno dei miei preferiti. 02. Yusef Lateefand Adam Rudolph -Live in Seattle (Yal -2014).

Joe McPhee / Jamie Saft / Joe Morris / Charles Downs: Ticonderoga
by John Sharpe
As the liners explain, this date was inspired by bassist Joe Morris and pianist Jamie Saft's shared love for the seminal John Coltrane Live At The Village Vanguard Again (Impulse, 1966) album. In the subsequent discussion with the other participants, it transpired that reedman Joe McPhee actually witnessed that gig from the center of the front ...
Nat Birchall: Invocations
by Phil Barnes
There is a feeling of a new beginning on this collection from Nat Birchall. Superficially the album is released on Henley-on-Thames' Jazzman records rather than Birchall's own Sound Soul and Spirit records, on which he released the wonderful World Without Form and classic Live in Larissa. More tangibly only Adam Fairhall on piano remains from those ...
Jazztopad 2015
by Henning Bolte
National Music Forum Jazztopad 2015 Wroclaw, Poland November 21-25, 2015 The city of Wroclaw by the Odra River in the southwest of Poland has occupied a pre-eminent position throughout its long, turbulent history, and it still does. Wroclaw's Jazztopad festival is a relatively young one. This year celebrated had ...
Juhani Aaltonen & Iro Haarla: Kirkastus
by Dan McClenaghan
The most striking thing about Kirkastus--a duo outing by a pair of seasoned Finnish free jazzers, saxophonist Juhani Aaltonen and pianist/harpist Iro Haarla--is the unalloyed beauty of the sound they've made. Aaltonen, in his eighth decade now, has the longer term veteran's credentials. His saxophone style draws from late period John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, with ...
Matthew Halsall & the Gondwana Orchestra: Into Forever
by Phil Barnes
Some artists epitomise the times they live in, while others go their own way, standing apart from the herd, ploughing their own furrow. As the self-aggrandising, dishonest and downright greedy seem to gain ever greater prominence in our world, those whose work can provide a few moments of respite, refuge and reflection become more and more ...
Kamasi Washington: The Epic
by Mark F. Turner
Kamasi Washington's masterwork The Epic showcases an incisive saxophonist/composer who has performed with jazz luminaries Gerald Wilson and Herbie Hancock but is probably better known for his work with creatives outside of jazz--Grammy winning electronic musician/producer Steven Ellison aka Flying Lotus (grand-nephew of Alice Coltrane); rising Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar and Steven Bruner aka Thundercat who ...
