Kartet: Grand Laps

Read "Grand Laps" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Kartet celebrates its 25th anniversary and with the latest rendition, Belgian drummer Stephane Galland replaces Chander Sardjoe and alto saxophonist Guillaume Orti adds the C-Melody and F mezzo-soprano saxophones to his arsenal. Indeed, it's a unique entity. With the ambiance of chamber music fare and uncluttered designs, the musicians generate a rhythmic nirvana via geometrically modeled ...

John Hébert: Floodgates

French culture is the theme of Hébert's trio recording. The New Orleans born, Cajun bassist invited the Paris-based pianist ...

Four Artists Of The Jazz Clarinet Renaissance

Read "Four Artists Of The Jazz Clarinet Renaissance" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Since the jazz clarinet never really died, renaissance--or rebirth--may not be the term that best describes what's happening to the instrument in the twenty-first century jazz universe; it is, however, a pretty good one word synopsis. The licorice stick was there at or near the start, tooting along next to the trumpet and ...

Benoit Delbecq - Francois Houle: Because She Hoped

Read "Because She Hoped" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Nell'aria inevitabilmente cameristica che si respira in questo CD, il pianista parigino Benoit Delbecq e il clarinettista canadese Francois Houle riescono ad evitare ogni soluzione di continuità eccessiva tra l'improvvisazione e gli stralci tematici, che talvolta sono parti scritte, altre volte sono delle brevi strutture ricorrenti, oppure semplici indicazioni armoniche. Così il clima del tutto estemporaneo ...
