Third World Love: Songs and Portraits
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
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
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.

Ben suonata oltre che energica, la musica proposta non guarda però oltre il ...

Basta già ...
An Open Letter to Musicians: Lemme Hear It!
by Dave Sumner
This begins a series of posts intended to give artists, labels, and promoters some insight into how I use the internet to discover and purchase music and how that knowledge might be used to the benefit of the artists. I don't claim to be the prototypical music listener and buyer. I listen to, and ...
Amy Cervini: Digging Me Digging You
by William Carey
It's funny hearing such signature Blossom Dearie songs as “Dear John" and the Schoolhouse Rock classic “Figure Eight" without that oh-so-identifiable voice and delivery. Funny, but Amy Cervini is a talented enough vocalist that it isn't the slightest bit distracting to not have that adorably individual style and delivery that is unmistakably Blossom Dearie.
