Anat Cohen: Claroscuro

Read "Claroscuro" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Colleghi di mutuo soccorso. Jason Lindner dà una mano a Anat Cohen che dà una mano a Daniel Freedman che poi ricambia/no nel disco della clarinettista di origini israeliane. Di sicuro a rimettere non c'è nessuno, perché questi aiuti reciproci cementano un interplay che nei dischi di ognuno si sente eccome. Anat Cohen evoca la pittura. ...

Duduka Da Fonseca Quintet: Jazz Samba-Samba Jazz

Read "Jazz Samba-Samba Jazz" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Drummer Duduka Da Fonseca is the patron saint of Samba Jazz. He's been singing the virtues of this hybridized form for quite some time, establishing a rhythmic middle ground where both worlds can meet in mutual, musical splendor. In short, he's earned the cymbal halo that floats above his head on the cover of Samba Jazz--Jazz ...

Avishai Cohen: Triveni II

Read "Triveni II" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Facendo seguito a Introducing Triveni, il trombettista israeliano (ma di stanza a New York) Avishai Cohen si misura nuovamente con la dimensione del trio nel suo nuovo lavoro Triveni II: il risultato è un sincero e ben confezionato album di estrazione hard bop con contaminazioni contemporanee, alla cui registrazione hanno preso parte il contrabbassista e collaboratore ...

Anat Cohen: Claroscuro

Read "Claroscuro" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Art begets art on Anat Cohen's Claroscuro. The Israeli-born, New York-based multi-reedist leaves the confines of Benny Goodman's world behind, following her clarinet-only sojourn into king of swing territory, Clarinetwork: Live At The Village Vanguard (Anzic, 2010), with a wide-ranging musical treatise on the balance between light and dark. Cohen addresses each end of the color ...

Avishai Cohen - Trumpet: Triveni II

Read "Triveni II" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Trumpeter Avishai Cohen had already reached the upper echelons of the jazz world when he put Triveni into motion, but this trio's debut--Introducing Triveni (Anzic Records, 2010)--still managed to mark a quantum leap in his artistry. The Israeli-born horn man first made stateside ripples when he placed third in the Thelonious Monk Jazz Trumpet Competition in ...

Third World Love: Songs and Portraits

Read "Songs and Portraits" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il titolo del disco, Songs and Portraits, sembra quasi anonimo, così abusato, storpiato, variamente declinato. Poi si ascolta l'album e la minaccia di anonimato scompare. Innanzi tutto perché il gruppo ha un'identità talmente peculiare, fatta di solisti identificabili all'istante, che è impossibile non riconoscerla; poi perché l'apporto compositivo contribuisce, in questo come nei lavori precedenti, a ...

Anat Cohen: Claroscuro

Read "Claroscuro" reviewed by Ernest Barteldes


Reed multi-instrumentalist Anat Cohen seems equally comfortable performing Brazilian jazz with Duduka Da Fonseca's quintet, contemporary jazz with her two brothers in the Three Cohens, or Afro-Cuban and more straight-ahead material with the countless ensembles with which she has worked over the years. Claroscuro reflects Cohen's unique ability to tackle multiple genres with the same dexterity. ...

Duduka Da Fonseca Quintet: Samba Jazz

Read "Samba Jazz" reviewed by Ernest Barteldes


Throughout his four decade-plus career, drummer/percussionist/composer Duduka Da Fonseca has successfully bridged the gap between the samba of his native Brazil and jazz, either when performing as the co-leader of Trio da Paz or as a sideman with the likes of pianist Kenny Barron, guitarist/vocalist Antonio Carlos Jobim and bassist Rufus Reid. On this ...

3 Cohens: Family

Read "Family" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Terza reunion discografica per i fratelli Cohen (di cui avevamo recensito Braid nel 2008) questa volta decisi a proporre una aggiornata rivisitazione della tradizione hardboppistica. In primo piano energiche sonorità nel segno del più classico mainstream, forgiate dalla straripante espressività dei tre fiati. Ben suonata oltre che energica, la musica proposta non guarda però oltre il ...

Melissa Stylianou: Silent Movie

Read "Silent Movie" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Silent Movie è il quarto album per Melissa Stylianou. La cantante canadese si destreggia con la sua voce vellutata e intimista tra standard di jazz e cover di classici pop, blues e folk, offrendoci un disco molto variegato ma omogeneo grazie anche ad arrangiamenti impeccabili che sanno valorizzare al meglio il suo grande talento. Basta già ...
