Camille Bertault: Unity in Diversity
by Ludovico Granvassu
On her striking new album, Pas de géant ["Giant Steps" in French -Ed.], Camille Bertault confirms all the qualities that her debut release, En Vie, had showcased three years ago. For her sophomore release, the French singer doubles down with an eclectic repertoire, a stellar line-up and the production and arrangements written by Michael Leonhart with ...
Camille Bertault: Pas de Géant
by Angelo Leonardi
Dopo aver dimostrato col debutto di En Vie (Sunnyside 2016) d'essere una splendida jazz singer, e non solo, l'acrobatica vocalist Camille Bertault libera la sua eclettica personalità, dando sfogo alle molte passioni e influenze formative. Il titolo del suo secondo album allude ovviamente al celebre tema di John Coltrane (qui rinominato «Là où tu vas»), «Giant ...
Camille Bertault allo Spazio Alfieri di Firenze
by Neri Pollastri
Spazio Alfieri Firenze 28.4.2018 Brillantissima cantante francese poco più che trentenne, Camille Bertault è stata celebrata un po' in tutto il mondo dopo l'uscita, due anni fa, del suo album d'esordio En vie, ma era diventata famosa ancor prima per i suoi video online nei quali reinterpretava vocalmente brani di John ...
Pablo Held Trio: Investigations
by Roger Farbey
The complex title perfectly characterises Pablo Held's compositional approach. Here he utilises light and shade to mix swathes of tranquillity with petulant stabbing phrases accompanied by equally sharp drum retorts. However, and this is crucial, the piece flows together seamlessly. The lissome nature of “Dr Freeds" betrays an influence of Bill Evans but the ...
Roberta Piket: West Coast Trio
by Victor L. Schermer
This album brings together New York-based pianist Roberta Piket with two outstanding musicians from the Los Angeles area: bassist Darek Oleszkiewicz and drummer Joe La Barbera. Hence the title “Roberta Piket: West Coast Trio." To spice things up, Piket brought along her long-time cohort Billy Mintz on percussion on one track, and special guest guitarist Larry ...
Jeff Cosgrove / Scott Robinson / Ken Filiano: Hunters & Scavengers
by Mark Corroto
In the 1980s, artist Jenny Holzer created short, pithy statements projected by LED lights in museums and onto Times Square. Her now famous “Abuse of Power Comes As No Surprise" text sums up not only the #MeToo movement and the #BlackLivesMatter cry, but also to some extent, the music industry. The vertical construction of many jazz ...
Miles Davis: Miles Davis & John Coltrane - The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6
by Mike Jurkovic
As discussed at length in the liners by Ashley Kahn, the general consensus at the time (and a theory Miles' held strongly too) was that his landmark Quintet --Miles Davis, John Coltrane, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb and flight fingered pianist Wynton Kelly--was on its last leg, and you could cut the personal and creative ...
Culture Clubs: Part IV: When Jazz Met Europe
by Karl Ackermann
The Geography of Jazz--When Jazz Met Europe In 2004 Maureen Anderson, a researcher at Illinois State University contributed a dissertation to the journal, African American Review, titled The White Reception of Jazz in America. Ostensibly, her article deals with stories published in high profile periodicals and journals from 1917 and into the 1930s, written by white ...
Kjetil Jerve / Tim Thornton / Anders Thorén: Circumstances
by Roger Farbey
Astonishingly, this international trio--Kjetil Jerve from Norway, Tim Thornton from the UK and Anders Thorén from Sweden--had played only one concert together before they recorded the studio tracks from which the contents of this album were gleaned. That recording session lasted two hours but here has been whittled down to just under an hour's worth of ...

Anyone interested in discovering the fascinating story of pianist Marc Copland should start out by reading John Kelman's excellent article: “Marc Copland: Growth Through Collaboration" (2005). It follows the trajectory of an artist that has evolved immensely throughout his career, with the most radical change being the shift in instrument from saxophone to piano. This shift ...
