Herbie Hancock: The Blue Note Albums
by Maurizio Zerbo
Risale al 1962 il primo disco di Herbie Hancock, già distintosi al fianco di Donald Byrd come pianista equilibrato e raffinato, di sicuro affidamento. La stima di cui godeva era già tale da rendere il suo esordio discografico un vero e proprio evento. A differenza di quanto normalmente avveniva per le opere prime, Takin Off (Blue ...
Nels Cline: Lovers
by Luca Canini
Anche gli esploratori più coraggiosi e solitari hanno bisogno di una casa. Se non altro per il gusto di andarsene; e per il piacere, prima o poi, di tornarci. Un posto del cuore, al centro dell'anima. Uno spazio nel quale sentirsi completi, leggeri, liberi; teneramente imprigionati in quel groviglio di emozioni e suggestioni che sono il ...
Joe Lovano Quartet: Classic! Live at Newport
by Angelo Leonardi
Il quartetto che Joe Lovano guidò con Hank Jones, George Mraz e Paul Motian è stato uno dei combo più avvincenti del suo decennio, documentato in due dischi ampiamente celebrati: I'm All for You (Blue Note, 2004) e Joyous Encounter (Blue Note, 2005). Alla fine di luglio, la storica etichetta ha pubblicato la registrazione ...
Tony Williams: Life Time
by Matthew Aquiline
By now, it's an irrefutable fact that drummer Tony Williams was the youngest preeminent figure within the avant-garde movement of the mid-'60s. Every jazz fan seems to know the events that led to his international fame: after intriguing trumpeter Miles Davis with his cutting-edge approach to drumming, he was hired and added to the groundbreaking “Second ...
Joe Lovano Quartet: Classic! Live at Newport
by Dan Bilawsky
It's safe to say that many years from now, when the critics and historians have the benefit of distance to help focus their thoughts, many if not most will continue to hail much of saxophonist Joe Lovano's presently-admired body of work on the Blue Note imprint. But what will stand tallest in said discography? Some may ...
Marcus Strickland's Twi-Life: Nihil Novi
by Dan Bilawsky
When you wipe away all of the minutiae and technical matters involved with the recording process, there are really only two schools of thought on the subject: You either aim to capture what's literally there or you choose to produce something that's not. Everything else is semantics and dealing with variants, mixtures, and/or a balance between ...
Gregory Porter: Take Me To The Alley
by Dan Bilawsky
The ineffable charms of Gregory Porter can't help but woo and win over the ear. He's the epitome of soulful sophistication--part tender poet, part cogent preacher, fully a man of the people--and he has a voice that can make the angels weep. While we often bemoan the choices that fame's fickle index finger makes, it pointed ...
GoGo Penguin: Man Made Object
by Geno Thackara
They're not your parents' kind of piano trio. Regardless of your age, they're not the obvious idea of yours either. In a milieu that's based on exploration or at least adaptability, GoGo Penguin is still more restless and exploratory than most; this UK outfit's brew of what they call “acoustic electronica" owes a debt to Brian ...
Charles Lloyd and The Marvels: I Long to See You
by Ian Patterson
Rather than easing off since turning seventy in 2008, Charles Lloyd has instead upped the ante, producing some of the finest music of his career. Whatever spiritual quest Lloyd is on, it continues to spur the veteran saxophonist to heady musical heights and I Long to See You (Blue Note, 2016) is no exception. Lloyd's well-established ...
Charles Lloyd & The Marvels: I Long To See You
by Dan Bilawsky
If ever there was an eternal explorer, it's Charles Lloyd. This inquisitive soul has made a career out of surveying new frontiers, both within himself and beyond the borders of his own being. He's taken every opportunity to peer and travel into the unknown, allowing only the sound and the spirits to serve as his guides. ...
