Greg Ruggiero: Balance

Read "Balance" reviewed by Farrell Lowe


With Balance, guitarist Greg Ruggiero makes it clear that he is an artist with something to say, both through his instrument and his writing. This is not to imply that the music is a template for showy pyrotechnics, but rather a display of subtle technique and thoughtful composition. His pieces have the dynamic feel and grace ...

Greg Ruggiero: Balance

Se i nuovi talenti, come recita l’etichetta catalana, si limitano a replicare linguaggi, atmosfere, architetture, sonorità che hanno già vissuto il loro periodo d’oro, c’è poco da essere allegri sul futuro della musica improvvisata.

Any kind of duet, whether jazz, classical or rock, presents its own particular set of challenges. It's paramount that the playrs involved come equipped with some kind of simpatico, or build it up quickly. Tenor player Marc Mommaas and pianist Nikolaj Hess tackle this task on Balance. “Funny Bones Jones begins slowly, then ...

Gregg Bendian's Trio Pianissimo: Balance

Read "Balance" reviewed by John Kelman


Gregg Bendian's music is as diverse as they come, so nothing about the percussionist should ever really be a surprise. Between pedal-to-the-metal fusion-making with his Mahavishnu Orchestra tribute band, Mahavishnu Project, reinventing John Coltrane's Interstellar Space with Left Coast guitarist Nels Cline, collaborating with ex-Pat Metheny Group drummer Paul Wertico on exploring the outer reaches of ...
