David Friesen Circle 3 Trio: Triple Exposure
by Dan Bilawsky
For most, a triangle is the shape that readily springs to mind when analyzing, discussing, and/or conceptualizing a trio. There's no mistaking roles and positions, after all, when there are three clearly defined sides. A circle, on the other hand, offers no beginning, no middle, and no end. In many ways it's a better analog for ...

Rick Hannah / Erwin Siffer: 2-Man Jazz Band
by Budd Kopman
Piano and guitar is a relatively rare combination for a number of reasons including overlapping ranges and having the similar timbre of percussive string.

Gerry Malkin Quintet at the BeanRunner Café
by Karl Ackermann
Gerry Malkin QuintetThe BeanRunner Café Peekskill, New York November 12, 2016 The Gerry Malkin Quintet is a quintessential, hard-working, New York area group that plays top-notch music, while going under-recognized in the competitive and crowded metropolitan marketplace.

Lanfranco Malaguti: Why Not?
by Angelo Leonardi
Ciclicamente la ricerca di Lanfranco Malaguti si confronta con gli standard, usandoli come un materiale da plasmare e riplasmare, ridisegnandone in profondità i connotati armonici, melodici e ritmici. In questo senso i primi lavori risalgono alla fine degli anni ottanta con Sound Investigations (Splasc(H) 1988) e Synthetismos (Splasc(H) 1989) a cui seguirà nel 1990 Something, dedicato ...
