Carol Robbins: Taylor Street
by Roger Farbey
In the context of jazz, the harp is a rare instrument indeed and there are proportionately few players in the field. Two exponents of this rare art are Alice Coltrane and the British harpist David Snell whose library composition “International Flight" is a jazz harp classic. A third is Carol Robbins, whose album Taylor Street is ...
Peter Brendler: Message In Motion
by David A. Orthmann
Message In Motion is a recording that can be gainfully approached from a number of angles. You can choose to play it in a single sitting from start to finish, taking in an array of moods evoked by bassist Peter Brendler's seven compositions and a band worthy of his exemplary skills as a writer. (The record ...
Paul Winter Sextet: Count Me In
by Duncan Heining
The Paul Winter Sextet might just be one of the best early sixties groups you never heard. Their story, and that of their leader and altoist Paul Winter's, is certainly one of the most remarkable in jazz. Had some director made a film of the Sextet's short life, jazz buffs would have scoffed at the conceit. ...
Live Trane: Never Before, Never After
by David Liebman
NEA Jazz Master and much celebrated saxophonist, composer, bandleader, educator and author Dave Liebman recounts the life-changing experiences of witnessing live performances by John Coltrane as told to Dave Kaufman. I always say my epiphany was the first time I saw Coltrane in February of 1962 at Birdland. The fact that I even knew ...
John Coltrane: My Favorite Things (Not Including “My Favorite Things”)
by Matt J. Popham
John Coltrane died on July 17, 1967 at the age of forty. Had he lived, he would have turned 90 on September 23rd of this year. When one considers the profound effect he had--not just on jazz, but on music as a whole--in the brief two decades of his career, it's not only daunting, but depressing, ...
Nels Cline: Lovers
by Jerome Wilson
When I first heard excerpts from Nels Cline's Lovers project, I wasn't too impressed. I thought it sounded like some kind of archaic “mood music" album. Then as I heard more about the set, including the songs being performed and the personnel performing them, I became intrigued. Now I've heard the entire thing and understand what ...
I 10 CD nel CD-Player di... Logan Hone
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Kate Bush -Hounds of Love (EMI -1985). Negli ultimi quattro mesi l'ho ascoltato quasi tutti i giorni. Non mi annoia mai e suona sempre come la cosa più fresca mai ascoltata. Kate Bush è musicista davvero ispirata e stimolante, difficile trovare aggettivi adeguati per descrivere la sua musica. 02. Robert Ashley ...
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 ...
