Alessandro Sgobbio: la musica come viaggio verso sé stessi
by Emmanuel Di Tommaso
Non capita spesso di potersi confrontare con musicisti dal profondo livello culturale e dalla caratura internazionale di Alessandro Sgobbio. A pochi mesi dall'uscita di Transparence, disco d'esordio del quartetto Hitra, abbiamo avuto la fortuna di poter discutere con il pianista di origini pugliesi dei temi e delle idee all'origine dei suoi progetti passati, presenti e futuri, ...
Giancarlo Tossani e il Questionario di Proust
by Paolo Peviani
Il tratto principale della mia musica Emozione e riflessione, equilibrio tra scrittura e improvvisazione (così dicono...). La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con me Affinità musicale e umana, cos'altro sennò? Come musicista, il momento in cui sono stato più felice Quando ho scoperto che si poteva ...
Mirna Bogdanovic: Confrontation
by C. Michael Bailey
Arrestingly postmodern and warmly familiar in the same space, Mirna Bogdanović's fourth release, Confrontation, stops just short of dismantling contemporary jazz and pop in favor of retaining those elements that tickle the memory's nostalgia receptors in such a way that the listener recognises the music as compelling, while at the same time not being able to ...
Pat Metheny: Road to the Sun
by Mario Calvitti
In quasi mezzo secolo di carriera professionistica Pat Metheny ha attraversato svariati territori musicali, in una miriade di formazioni diverse, diventando fin da giovanissimo un punto di riferimento importante per la chitarra contemporanea, con il suo stile immediatamente riconoscibile che lo ha fatto diventare un beniamino del pubblico e della critica. Ancora oggi continua a mettersi ...
Stefano Travaglini: Monk - Fifteen Piano Reflections
by Karl Ackermann
Italian composer and pianist Stefano Travaglini advanced his standing in the crowded field of solo piano improvisers with Ellipse (Notami Jazz, 2017). That album of (mostly) extemporaneous creations exhibited Travaglini's capacity for coalescing abstraction and lyricism in often understated ways. Trained as a classical pianist under Arvo Part and Vince Mendoza, he benefitted from their broad ...
Issie Barratt's Interchange: Donna's Secret
by Duncan Heining
Put simply, this is a truly beautiful record. It features eight very different compositions by eight different women composers, including three from outside the band. In other hands, the diversity of styles might have left more an impression of a compilation than of a coherent, integrated programme of music. But that is certainly not the case ...
Stefano Travaglini - Massimiliano Coclite: The Long Line
by Karl Ackermann
Italian pianists Stefano Travaglini and Massimiliano Coclite team up for a varied session of original improvisations and those influenced by composers of historical consequence. Both artists are coming from inspiring releases, Travaglini with his solo album Ellipse (Notami Jazz, 2017) and Coclite with his namesake quartet on Strange People (Odardek Records, 2018). These two musicians have ...
Rodrigo Tavares: Congo
by Chris May
Guitarist Rodrigo Tavares cites his primary influences as bossa nova and tropicália pioneers João Gilberto, Dorival Caymmi, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Tom Zé. But you would not guess it from Congo, a collection of lyrical instrumentals which reference Brazil only in passing, and which consciously avoid any recognisable sense of ...
