Sara Serpa – Ran Blake: Aurora

Read "Aurora" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Secondo album (dopo Camera Obscura, datato 2010) del duo composto dalla trentaquattrenne cantante di Lisbona e dal settantottenne pianista del Massachusetts, Aurora raccoglie i riflessi di una doppia seduta (dal vivo e in studio) tenutasi nella capitale portoghese nel maggio 2012. Il clima che lo contraddistingue è lieve, ora più colloquiale, ora più scarno, quasi scabro, ...

Sara Serpa / Ran Blake: Aurora

Read "Aurora" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


Aurora is vocalist Sara Serpa's second release with her mentor, pianist Ran Blake. A duet recital recorded live at Lisbon's Auditório da Culturges, despite being more laidback and slightly less adventurous, it is just as creative as the pair's engrossing Camera Obscura (Inner Circle, 2010). Serpa and Blake's sparse and atmospheric delivery of ...

Sara Serpa / Ran Blake: Aurora

Read "Aurora" reviewed by Eyal Hareuveni


Portuguese vocalist Sara Serp's follow-up to Camera Obscura (Inner Circle, 2010), with renowned pianist Ran Blake, retains the fresh and irreverent approach of their debut. A former student of Blake's the two never sound obvious or predictable, even when they are interpreting popular jazz standards. Their versions offer deeper and often innocent insights to some of ...

Mark Isaacs Resurgence Band: Aurora

Read "Aurora" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


The last artistic musical movement in jazz to be given a meaningful name was the post-bop movement. Arising out of the mid-1960s as a unifying response to hard bop, modal, the avant-garde and free jazz, post-bop has fairly well dominated the most creative jazz made in the last 30 years. If post-bop has a ground zero, ...

Mark Isaacs: Aurora

Read "Aurora" reviewed by John Kelman


As Tell It Like It Is (ABC Jazz, 2009), amply proved, sometimes it's better to work with local musicians who, through regular touring, establish a singular collective voice. That's not to say Resurgence (ABC Jazz, 2007) was bad--it's hard to imagine anything with bassist Jay Anderson, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and saxophonist Bob Sheppard as lacking in ...
