Ron Thomas: Two Lonely People
by Dan McClenaghan
A spin through pianist Ron Thomas's discography as a leader doesn't always directly point toward the music found on Two Lonely People. His two masterful trio outings, Music in Three Parts (Art of Life Records, 2006) and Doloroso (Art of Life Records, 2006) are both full of abstract and elastic originals; the highly electric and compellingly ...
Manuel Rocheman: The Touch of Your Lips: Tribute to Bill Evans
by C. Michael Bailey
The French Naive record label, long known for its fine releases of classical music--particularly its ongoing Vivaldi Opera project--has initiated a jazz stream, highlighting French jazz talent, including pianist Manuel Rocheman's The Touch of Your Lips: Tribute to Bill Evans. It is somehow fitting that a tribute to America's last great pioneer in jazz piano (apologies ...
Ryan Cavanaugh & No Man's Land: Ryan Cavanaugh & No Man's Land
by John Kelman
Saxophonist Bill Evans may have headed the marquee, but the surprise of his Soulgrass Band's 2007 Ottawa Jazz Festival performance was 27 year-old banjoist Ryan Cavanaugh. In the wake of Béla Fleck, Cavanaugh has emerged as the inevitable next step, continuing to transition the oft-maligned banjo into a bona fide jazz instrument as flexible as its ...

Bill Evans: Live at Lulu White's 1979
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il crepuscolo di Bill Evans fu tanto doloroso sul piano umano, quanto dotato di una speciale grazia su quello musicale. Mentre il suicidio del fratello Harry lo spingeva al deterioramento estremo, la sua inventiva melodica, la personale rivisitazione romantica del panismo bebop e la voglia di comunicare e mettersi in gioco dal vivo e in studio, ...
Marcus Miller: The Perfect Balance
by Esther Berlanga-Ryan
Marcus Miller is a master musician of calm wisdom and impeccable taste, whose talent has been exposed to the elements under different kinds of light through the years, only to magnify the evident supremacy he so gently seems to hold over the bass guitar in recent years. As a multi-instrumentalist of deep musical curiosity, he has ...
Henry Darragh: Tell Her for Me
by C. Michael Bailey
Do we really need one more trombonist/singer from Texas? Well, seeing that the only one that comes to mind presently is “Tea" Jack Teagarden, then, well, yes we do. Multi-instrumentalist Henry Darragh completely fits the musical bill. While Darragh looks more like a physics graduate student at UT-Austin, he is, actually, an accomplished composer/performer, who leads ...
BMX: Bergen Open
by John Kelman
Tradition, in a living, breathing art form, is something that is continually defined, refined and redefined. When drummer Paul Motian--first coming to fame in pianist Bill Evans' mid-1950s trio--trimmed his quintet of the early 1980s into a bass-less trio featuring then-emergent guitar whiz Bill Frisell and equally on-the-rise saxophonist Joe Lovano, its very first recording, It ...

8th Panama Jazz FestivalPanama City, PanamaJanuary 10-15, 2011 Being a jazz musician anywhere is difficult, and perhaps even more so in Panama, Mexico, or even South America. However, the Danilo Pérez Foundation, at Plaza Herrera, in San Felipe, the heart of the historical part of Panama City, makes it easier. Every year the ...
