Noah Haidu: Slowly: Song For Keith Jarrett
by Dan McClenaghan
American poet Walt Whitman said it. Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan said it, too, on his Rough and Rowdy Ways (Columbia Records, 2020). They said: “I Contain Multitudes." Pianist Keith Jarrett also contains multitudes—though it has never been reported that he has said so. Those multitudes include early work with the groups of drummer Art Blakey, ...
Noah Haidu, Buster Williams, Billy Hart: Slowly
by Angelo Leonardi
Dopo il progetto multimediale dedicato a Kenny Kirkland (Doctone, Sunnyside 2020), Noah Haidu dedica un omaggio a Keith Jarrett, altro pianista che ha svolto un ruolo significativo nella sua formazione.

Due anni dopo il sontuoso progetto orchestrale pubblicato nell'album Generations (Blueland 2018) il compositore e multistrumentista allievo di Bob Brookmeyer, è tornato a incidere con un piccolo organico, aperto a suggestioni cameristiche (con l'aggiunta di un quartetto d'archi) o di taglio neo-bop (con il trombettista Michael Rodriguez).
