Ben Allison: Layers of the City
by Angelo Leonardi
Giunto al dodicesimo disco in vent'anni di attività professionale, il contrabbassista e compositore di New Haven ha spesso cambiato organici e partner (solo il chitarrista Steve Cardenas resta una presenza costante da un decennio) ma il tratto distintivo della sua musica resta ben riconoscibile: lunghi temi cantabili su tempi spesso dilatati, in un variopinto tessuto metrico ...
Pete Malinverni: Heaven
by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton
Perhaps church would be fashionable again amongst lapsed Christians if every church had musicians at the spec of Pete Malinverni. We have, in part, much to admire of the LA based Newman family for their reach in music and its training, in which composer, Anthony Newman was an insightful mentor to Malinverni's dedication. It would seem ...
Pete Malinverni: Heaven
by Dan McClenaghan
New York City-based pianist Pete Malinverni is a spiritual man. It's a side of his musical personality that he explores with depth and clarity on Heaven, a mostly trio affair that puts his succinct feel for the sacred, his supple and exquisite touch and his improvisational elan in the forefront on a gorgeous set of music. ...

Rudy Royston Trio: Rise Of Orion
by Karl Ackermann
The visceral style of drummer Rudy Royston was considerably toned down on his leader debut 303 (Greenleaf, 2014), a septet outing where the drummer often worked within the context of an ensemble player. Pared down to a trio formation for Rise Of Orion, Royston retains the services of the ubiquitous saxophonist Jon Irabagon and bassist Yasushi ...

Rosa Brunello Y Los Fermentos: Upright Tales
by Giuseppe Segala
La tradizione del contrabbassista-leader è una consuetudine che nel jazz ha dato frutti sapidi.

Forse ...
