Samo Salamon Trio feat. Michel Godard & Roberto Dani: Live!
by Jakob Baekgaard
The music of Slovenian guitarist Samo Salamon encompasses a wide-ranging vision that leaves room for both subdued balladry and intense rock-outs. Still, even though there's certainly eclecticism at work in the musical poetics of this musician, who takes in influences as diverse as the gritty melodies of John Scofield and the reverb-drenched innovations of Bill Frisell, ...

Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Accomplish Jazz
by Mark Corroto
In the jazz world, there is something in the air. Barely detectable, but definitely something in the air these days. A whiff of change (or maybe the decay of traditions decomposing). It can be heard in the music the young lions (YL) are playing. These YLs are more like the Lee Morgan/Wayne Shorter YLs of the ...
Bill Frisell il collezionista
by AAJ Italy Staff
Lo splendido disco di Frisell History, Mystery è l'occasione per una riflessione su Fotografia e Jazz e sul loro uso. Una ipotesi di lettura critica di un linguaggio che ha plasmato l'immaginario della musica. Si può cominciare la recensione di un disco dalla sua foto di copertina? Cominciavo così la recensione di un CD di Cecil ...
Bill Frisell 858 Quartet
by AAJ Italy Staff
Auditorium (Sala Sinopoli) - Roma - 30.10.2009 Tra i tanti progetti portati avanti dal poliedrico chitarrista Bill Frisell, quello col quartetto 858 è sicuramente uno dei più interessanti. Nato nel 2005 per l'incisione di un CD di composizioni ispirate a 8 dipinti astratti del pittore d'avanguardia Gerhard Richter, il gruppo ha successivamente proseguito la propria attività ...
Drummer Joey Baron Interviewed at AAJ
Combining technical acuity with a deep sense of groove, Joey Baron drums with playful exuberance. Throughout his more than 35-year career, he's propelled experimentalists like guitarist Bill Frisell and saxophonist John Zorn, as well as mainstreamers like vocalist Carmen McRae and saxophonist David Sanborn. He's even played with pop stars David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull. But ...

The Art of the Trio: John Patitucci, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Marcus Strickland
by J Hunter
Pianist Brad Mehldau got flak for naming a series of discs “The Art of the Trio." But it really is an art, and no more so than when the lead instrument is not a piano, or any member of the keyboard family. Think about it. Without the myriad capabilities of Mehldau's instrument, a trio's leader must ...
Uwe Oberg / Christof Thewes / Michael Griener: Lacy Pool
by Mark Corroto
Lacy Pool, by pianist Uwe Oberg, drummer Michael Griener, and trombonist Christof Thewes, demonstrates the “circles within a circle" puzzle that mathematicians have riddled over for centuries. The piano covers of soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's compositions were accomplished without the use of a saxophone, much like Lacy's interpretations of Thelonious Monk were made without a piano. ...
Donny McCaslin: Declaration
by Tom Greenland

With Edward Simon (piano/organ), Ben Monder (guitar), Scott Colley (bass) and Antonio Sanchez (drums) making up the core band, the result is a far denser sound ...
