Javier Colina - Chano Domínguez: Chano & Colina
by Angelo Leonardi
Sia Chano Domínguez che Javier Colina hanno dimostrato d'amare i confronti in duo. Ricordiamo i quelli recenti del primo con Stefano Bollani e con Paolo Fresu, più quelli passati col chitarrista Niño Josele (Chano & Josele), col pianista Federico Lechner e con la flautista Hadar Noirberg. Di Javier Colina ricordiamo i duo con i pianisti Tete ...
Ahmad Jamal: Ballades
by Dan Bilawsky
At 89, Ahmad Jamal remains a master of space, time, openness and poetics. Never one to add too much, yet always one to mine a song for all its rich natural flavors, Jamal is an artist whose work speaks with a direct and engaging sweep. His early trio classics became a model of sorts, inspiring Miles ...
Meet Andrew Rothman
by Tessa Souter and Andrea Wolper
Lawyer, audiophile, lifelong arts enthusiast, our newest Super Fan's life plan was to be a classical pianist, until college took him in another direction. But it was two “major epiphanies" (the first time he heard Miles Davis and, later, Bill Evans) that turned him into a jazz Super Fan--such a Super Fan, in fact, that he ...
Manuel Magrini: Unexpected
by Neri Pollastri
Giovane pianista umbro classe 1990, diplomato al conservatorio di Perugia, Manuel Magrini può vantare alcuni premi e riconoscimenti, importanti tournée all'estero (Turchia, Messico) e—soprattutto—questo album, registrato nel 2015, nel quale affronta la “prova del solo" con coraggio, leggerezza e fantasia. Il lavoro si articola in tredici pezzi, la cui scaletta non era decisa al ...
Russ Lossing: Motian Music
by Alberto Bazzurro
Nato a Columbus, Ohio, nel 1960, Russ Lossing è un pianista che, anche proprio per anzianità di servizio, meriterebbe certo maggior fama di quella di cui gode. Influenzato dal lessico jazzistico come dai vari Bartok, Schönberg e John Cage (col quale ha anche intrattenuto un sia pur fugace rapporto personale), Lossing ha suonato con gente importante, ...
Maria Baptist: Here & Now 2
by Geno Thackara
Maria Baptist and big bands go way back. From a lifelong fascination with orchestras to several large-ensemble collaborations and academic competitions from the '90s onward, she's always been drawn to handling impressive quantities of brass. Whatever else she gets up to--and there's certainly no shortage of other different projects to keep rotating among--her Jazz Orchestra stays ...
Joonas Haavisto e il Questionario di Proust
by Paolo Peviani
Il tratto principale della mia musica L'equilibrio tra composizione e improvvisazione. Metto anche molta attenzione sul suono e la melodia. La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con me Ascoltare è la cosa più importante. Poi vengono altre abilità, come il prendere dei rischi, il ...
Soren Bebe: Echoes
by Mike Jurkovic
A yearning reticence lies at the heart of Echoes, Norwegian pianist Soren Bebe's sixth trio disc. Stark yet beautiful at all times, Echoes follows in the spacious, introverted soundscapes of fellow Danish pianistsTord Gustavsen and the late Esbjorn Svensson. Neo-classical in structure yet open to the tides, the Bebe written title track leads off ...
Mark Wingfield & Gary Husband: Tor & Vale
by Mark Sullivan
Virtuoso guitarist Mark Wingfield was last heard leading a trio on Tales From The Dreaming City (MoonJune Records, 2018). He and pianist Gary Husband may have never played duets together before, but the results sound like it was inevitable--a fated meeting. Opener “Kittiwake" is the first of Wingfield's compositions, a lyrical legato guitar line over a ...
