Greg Sinibaldi: Ariel
by Paul Rauch
Sylvia Plath's chilling second book of poetry, “Ariel," published posthumously in 1965, revealed evocative free flowing images, and minacious psychic landscapes exuding hope while hovering on the precipice of darkness. With his new release, Ariel, Seattle based saxophonist Greg Sinibaldi explores the inner and outer reaches of Plath's work by convening a trio with guitarist Ryan ...
JazzMI - II Edizione
by Paolo Peviani
JazzMI -II Edizione Milano 02.11 -12.11.2017 “Che bello vedere Milano sveglia, finalmente!" Queste parole, colte in una conversazione tra appassionati in coda per uno dei tanti concerti di questa seconda edizione di JazzMI, ben fotografano il vero punto di forza del festival. Che non è tanto l'aver proposto ...
Gregg Belisle-Chi: I Sang To You And The Moon
by Angelo Leonardi
Vengono da Seattle e hanno meno di trent'anni i componenti di questo quartetto dalla fisionomia singolare: una cantante accompagnata da chitarra, tromba e contrabbasso. Come si può intuire dall'organico, il clima è cameristico e l'intimismo folk delle musiche di Gregg Belisle-Chi impregna tutto l'album. Anche se è scritto in caratteri microscopici sul retrocopertina, il chitarrista ha ...
Borderlands Trio: Asteroidea
by Mark Corroto
I'll venture a guess that the listing of the names on Borderlands Trio's cover is arranged in alphabetic order, Crump, Davis, then McPherson. That is because nothing in the performance reveals a leader, nor a dominant signature. For adventurous listeners, isn't that exactly what we want from our improvisors? Let's stick with just Borderlands ...
Marco Bardoscia
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Johann Sebastian Bach, Glenn Gould, Goldberg Variations (Sony Classical, 1981). La musica di Bach è per me di grande ispirazione e in particolare questa opera monumentale interpretata da Gould. A volte mi capita di ascoltarne degli estratti prima dei concerti. 2. Miles Davis, Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet (Prestige,1958).

Ron Miles: I Am A Man
by Dan Bilawsky
When two workers were killed by a malfunctioning garbage truck in Memphis in 1968, the flames of activism were rightly stoked. Sanitation workers fed up with poor working conditions and abuse of power poured into the streets wielding “I Am A Man" signs, making a principled stand that spoke not only to the situation at hand, ...
Ron Carter: A Clew of Worms
by Jim Worsley
So the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm. Occasionally, if one is so fortunate, you can get a whole lot more. From the beginning just knowing that I was going to have the opportunity to see and hear Ron Carter play was about seeing a legend. Of course you hope to hear ...
Henry Kaiser: Friends & Heroes: Guitar Duets
by Roger Farbey
There a real Smörgåsbord of pieces on Henry Kaiser's Friends & Heroes: Guitar Duets. They are stylistically varied improvisational vignettes ranging from the eccentric “Three Languages" with Fred Frith to the heavy electric blues of “A Mighty Fire" with Knut Reiersrud. There's also prog(-ish) rock on “Harmony Jam" with Nels Cline and there's a kind of ...
