The indefatigable Bill Frisell
by Mario Calvitti
Since he first appeared on the international scene in the late '70s, Bill Frisell has shown considerable originality and strong individuality. Thanks to an instrumental voice that is both immediately recognizable and immensely versatile, he continues to stand out among the artists that have contributed to rewriting the role of guitar in jazz and beyond.
Eric Revis: Sing Me Some Cry
by Mark Corroto
Only a bassist like Eric Revis with a background in the origins of jazz (that is, New Orleans), hardcore, funk, and post-bop can pull off such a big project as Sing Me Some Cry. Not big as in impenetrable, but circus tent big--assimilating all his experiences. From Betty Carter and Lionel Hampton to his long-standing tenure ...
Bill Frisell, l'infaticabile
by Mario Calvitti
Tra gli artisti che negli ultimi decenni hanno maggiormente contribuito a rinnovare il ruolo della chitarra nella musica jazz (ma non solo) spicca sicuramente il nome di Bill Frisell.

Quinsin Nachoff: Quinsin Nachoff's Ethereal Trio
by Mark Corroto
It's interesting how modern jazz performers come to the music from very different circumstances than those of players of bygone eras. Instead of learning their craft in a bar or bagnio, they went to a conservatory to sharpen their chops.

Trio 3 (Andrew Cyrille, Reggie Workman, Oliver Lake): Visiting Texture
by Giuseppe Segala
Ecco l'ennesimo capitolo della pregnante avventura del Trio 3, iniziata una trentina di anni fa con l'incontro di questi titani della musica e dell'improvvisazione contemporanea. Personalità forti, che nell'incontro hanno saldato una sintonia matura fin dal primo momento, ma nel corso del tempo sempre più organica e dialettica, tra libertà e rigore. Vengono alla ...
Trio 3: Visiting Texture
by John Sharpe
For a band whose moniker puts such emphasis on the number of its participants, another release featuring the core threesome of saxophonist Oliver Lake, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer Andrew Cyrille has been a long time coming. Not since the outstanding Time Being (Intakt, 2007) in fact, with subsequent albums matching them with an eye catching ...
