Jazz In Buenos Aires: Fresh Breezes From The South

Read "Jazz In Buenos Aires: Fresh Breezes From The South" reviewed by Mark Holston


Galería Apolo is one of many 1950s-style shopping arcades that flank Avenida Corrientes, the gaudy, pedestrian-packed “Broadway" of Argentina's cosmopolitan and bustling capital city. A dimly lit galería, it's the kind of one-stop-shopping destination where tiny specialty shops sell everything from comic books to costume jewelry and a visitor can get a watch repaired or satisfy ...

Ben Goldberg: Orphic Machine

Read "Orphic Machine" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Un nonetto pieno zeppo di musicisti di prima grandezza si pone al servizio della musica di Ben Goldberg, nello specifico integrata dai testi di Allen Grossman cantati da Carla Kihlstedt. La componente corale, il disegno complessivo, appaiono da subito centrali nel lavoro, che si svolge di conseguenza attorno a parametri estetico-espressivi ben delineati, che si espandono ...

James Falzone: The Room Is

Read "The Room Is" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Legend has it that Jimmy Giuffre harbored a vehement distaste for the use of percussion in his ensembles. He found drummers distracting, irritating and clamorous. By the time he recorded the classic records 1961 (ECM, 1992) and Free Fall (Columbia, 1963) he had jettisoned drummers from his piano and bass trio. It must have driven marketing ...

James Falzone - The Renga Ensemble: The Room Is

Read "The Room Is" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Enterprising Chicago-based clarinetist James Falzone and a core band of fellow improvisers signal a modern day avant-jazz summit, inspired by the leader's affinity for Renga, which is a Japanese poetic tradition where 2 or more poets work in parallel to produce a new work. Falzone yields dividends by enlisting an ensemble, featuring prominent trailblazers of the ...

Zebrina: Hamidbar Medaher

Read "Hamidbar Medaher" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Eminent American clarinetist Ben Goldberg is an integral component of this Canadian ensemble's buoyant and cleverly articulated blend of traditional Jewish music, rock and modern jazz for John Zorn's enterprising New York-based Tzadik record label. In effect, the band traverses through luxuriant musical terrain, comprised of popping grooves, hummable melodic hooks and crisp, keys-based jazz fusion ...

Jazzfestival Saalfelden 2014

Read "Jazzfestival Saalfelden 2014" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Saalfelden 28-31.08.2014 A bocce ferme il 35° Jazzfestival di Saalfelden presentava un programma meno appariscente rispetto a precedenti edizioni, con meno densità di nomi altisonanti e meno eventi imperdibili. Ma forse proprio per la mancanza di aspettative clamorose, grazie alla solida direzione artistica tra certezze e curiosità e per quelle alchimie speciali che regolano ...
