Mark Guiliana: Emulating The Source
by Ben Scholz
Over the past ten years, electronic music and jazz have developed a curious relationship.

Drummer Mark Guiliana is at the forefront of this ...

I 10 CD nel CD-Player di... Luca Dell'Anna
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Clifford Brown--Brownie: The Complete EmArcy Recordings (Verve -1989). A mio parere il punto più alto fra i giganti che stanno alla radice del jazz moderno è rappresentato da Clifford Brown. Ogni sua frase nasce già scolpita nella pietra, un'aderenza perfetta fra pensiero e azione. Ascoltando Clifford Brown mi ritorna chiara ogni volta l'importanza della ...

Brad Mehldau: Dragons & Dreams
by Ian Patterson
For many, pianist Brad Mehldau's recording Day is Done (Nonesuch Records, 2005) with drummer Jeff Ballard and bassist Larry Grenadier came as close to trio perfection as is reasonable to expect in your wildest dreams. Perhaps perfection is a chimera, yet even if attainable it's at best fleeting by nature. But for Mehldau that doesn't stop ...
Torino Jazz Festival 2014
by Alberto Bazzurro
Varie sedi--25.04-1.05.2014 Benché bersagliata da intemperanze meteorologiche d'altro canto non nuove, in questa sede, la terza edizione del Torino Jazz Festival (seconda sotto la direzione artistica di Stefano Zenni) ha visto una partecipazione di pubblico che definiremmo oceanica, al punto che--per esempio--si è rivelato praticamente impossibile accedere ai concerti in giro per i ...
Jazzkaar 2014
by John Kelman
Jazzkaar 2014 Tallinn, Estonia April 16-28, 2014 Any opportunity to return to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia in Eastern Europe, is one worth grabbing. Beyond the somewhat surreal feeling of being in a country that, just 23 years ago, was a completely different place, Tallinn is, quite simply, one of the most ...

3 Cohens: Tightrope
by Angelo Leonardi
Nei loro dischi precedenti (vedi Family) c'erano diversi momenti in cui i fratelli israeliani s'esibivano in libere improvvisazioni a tre voci. In questo nuovo lavoro questa modalità improvvisativa diventa centrale, pur innestandosi nel rispetto della tradizione che caratterizza la loro collaborazione. Il trombettista Avishai Cohen (da non confondere con l'omonimo bassista), il sassofonista Yuval ...
