Simon Toldam: Alt er Luft
by Jakob Baekgaard
There was a time when it was avant-garde to play loud and fast, but in a world that is already moving at full speed without looking back, the new avant-garde is to take it slow and reinstate the value of contemplation. It is hard to stretch time, and many movies have succumbed to fast cutting, but ...
Bill Evans: Stockholm, Sweden, 1964
Thank God for Europe and Scandinavia. If not for their government-sponsored TV stations, we'd never have intimate footage of American jazz stars in action. Today, two clips of the Bill Evans Trio in Stockholm, Sweden, in August 1964, with Evans on piano, Chuck Israels on bass and Larry Bunker on drums. Plus a bonus track: Here's ...

Indico i dischi (sia italiani che stranieri) che ho più apprezzato e soprattutto amato nel 2024. Quelli che più mi hanno arricchito e appassionato, quelli che mi sono ritrovato a riascoltare spesso. Tra il primo indicato e l'ultimo non c'è un ordine di valore, ma solo alfabetico. Non so quanto sia possibile dividere la valutazione “professionale" ...
Have A Holly, Jazzy Christmas
by Kurt Ellenberger
In my music history classes, particularly in November and December, students have often asked me about the relationship between jazz and Christmas: “Why are so many popular Christmas songs so jazzy?" It is a good question--indeed, many of the most popular secular Christmas music does have a jazz flavor, while a few are actually jazz. There ...
Kris Davis and Younee: Keys To The Eighty-Eights
by Doug Collette
The role of pianist has been crucial to the evolution of jazz throughout its history. To that end, Art Tatum, McCoy Tyner and Bill Evans have achieved iconic status over the decades and, in more recent years, Brad Mehldau and Fred Hersch have laid the groundwork for their own ascents to similarly hallowed positions, Meanwhile Diana ...

Louis Stewart & Martin Taylor: Acoustic Guitar Duets

Jazz is littered with examples of starry duos aligning in one-off recording projects that do not quite match expectations. Often the lack of real spark comes down to too much deference being shown. When such duos do come off, however, say as with the collaborations between Bill Evans and Jim Hall, to cite one outstanding example, ...
