Julian Siegel: Urban Theme Park
by AAJ Italy Staff
Una serie di riconoscimenti e premi da parte di pubblico e critica fa del sassofonista tenore inglese Julian Siegel un nome piuttosto conosciuto in patria. Con altri due connazionali e il batterista americano Gene Calderazzo (ma ormai stabilitosi dalle parti Londra) ha messo su un quartetto di tutto rispetto e firmato un disco che si pone ...

Julian Siegel Quartet: Urban Theme Park
by Bruce Lindsay
The Julian Siegel Quartet epitomizes some of the finest elements of jazz: creativity, virtuosity, collaboration, invention and (the often neglected) fun. As a result, Urban Theme Park, the band's second album, is a positive feast of music. Broadly speaking, this is probably best described as post-bop, but no single definition can encapsulate the breadth of vision ...

Kit Downes Trio: Quiet Tiger
by Chris May
When it's time to follow up an album nominated for a major, mainstream award such as Britain's Mercury Prize, jazz artists face a conundrum.

Trish Clowes: Tangent
by Bruce Lindsay
Trish Clowes' Tangent is an ambitious project that brings together free improvisations, small band numbers and full-scale orchestral pieces to create a fascinating collection of new music. Projects of this scale in jazz are far from easily achieved, and the fact that this is composer, leader and tenor saxophonist Clowes' debut--recorded at the age of 25--renders ...

Trish Clowes: Tangent
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'idea è di quelle giuste (anche se un poco pretenziosa trattandosi di un lavoro d'esordio): un sestetto, molto attento a cercare una propria strada bilanciando strutture tradizionali con altre tipiche dell'improvvisazione, osa maggiormente e alza il tiro cercando tangenziali di collegamento sonoro con un'orchestra di classiche peculiarità mainstream moderne. Lei, ventisei anni, esce dritta dritta da ...
