Edmar Castaneda: Entre Cuerdas
by Dan McClenaghan
The harp seems such a cerebral instrument, the sound a mix of, light, lush delicacy, refinement and finesse. It is not often heard in jazz outside of large ensemble settings. Columbian harpist/bandleader/composer Edmar Castaneda seems intent on changing that dynamic. On Entre Cuerdas, Castaneda employs a trio of unlikely parts: harp, trombone and percussion, ...

Now unquestionably one of the better long-running groups on the jazz scene, Chris Potter's Underground puts forth its most consistent effort yet with its sophomore studio album, Ultrahang.

Per Jim Hall quello del duo è stato un formato musicale praticato assiduamente negli anni, anche se quasi mai con altri chitarristi, ma preferendo generalmente pianisti e contrabbassisti (memorabili gli incontri con Bill Evans e Ron Carter).

Hall ...

Clayton Brothers: Brother to Brother
by J Hunter
Jazz had a family thing going long before the Marsalises showed up; Jeff and John Clayton created Brother to Brother to showcase the sibling side of that equation.
