Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis, featuring Norah Jones: Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles
by C. Michael Bailey
After the success of Two Men With the Blues (Blue Note, 2008), Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles is a welcome inevitability. The addition of the like-minded Norah Jones to the mix is just gravy, properly augmenting a Ray Charles tribute. With the possible exception of Van Morrison, only ...
Bill Charlap - Renee Rosnes: Double Portrait
by AAJ Italy Staff
Due pianisti ripresi in un incontro perfetto. Certo, essere marito e moglie aiuta a raggiungere un'intesa così elevata e la maestria di entrambi si trasforma in sintesi poetica. Renee Rosnes e Bill Charlap non hanno ricevuto in Italia la dovuta attenzione, malgrado i molti dischi registrati per la Blue Note e le collaborazioni prestigiose, eppure in ...
Eliane Elias: Plays Live
by AAJ Italy Staff
Quando un pianista o una pianista (come in questo caso) può sedersi sullo sgabello avendo come partner il bassista Marc Johnson e il batterista Joey Baron, state certi che l'occasione non andrà sprecata. Se poi il bassista è anche il partner nella vita, tanto meglio. La pianista brasiliana Eliane Elias conferma l'assunto precedente in questo bel ...
Ambrose Akinmusire: When The Heart Emerges Glistening
by Troy Collins
A new generation of jazz musicians, unimpeded by the idiomatic constraints of tradition, has come of age since the end of the '80s-era culture wars. One such free-thinking artist is young trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire, who was first discovered by saxophonist Steve Coleman at the tender age of 19. When The Heart Emerges Glistening is his first ...

Todavía con el eco salutífero de Loverly (Blue Note, 2008), último trabajo de Cassandra Wilson antes de la entrega de su recopilación Pop Side (Blue Note, 2009), la contralto de Misisipí reorganiza su legado musical con el primer directo para la discográfica que mima actualmente sus apetencias. Si Jacky Terrasson no fue la pareja idónea para ...
Joe Lovano: Joe Lovano - Bird Songs
by Jonathan Wertheim
Joe Lovano's Us Five debut, Folk Art (Blue Note, 2009), was a triumphantly energetic outing, filled with the sound of two drummers and running through a program of Lovano's originals. It was a highly personal and emphatic debut, and a great one too, but Bird Songs is important in completing the portrait of this ensemble.
Jackie McLean: New Soil
by Greg Simmons
Jackie McLean's New Soil, is not the most acclaimed album in the classic Blue Note catalogue, but this 1959 release deserves more attention that it gets, being supremely well-played, well-written and--within the limitations of its time--well-recorded. This vinyl reissue, remastered from the original tapes by the good folks at Acous-Tech, is part of a series of ...
Horace Silver: The Cape Verdean Blues

Any review of an XRCD extended resolution CD reissue of hard bop pianist Horace Silver's The Cape Verdean Blues is going to be as much about the success of the format as it is about the music.The music on old recordings, re-released in expensive high-tech format by specialist Elusive Disc (in it's series of ...
Herbie Hancock: Maiden Voyage
by Greg Simmons
There are few worse examples of a masterpiece performance being savaged by poor recording quality than Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage. This very expensive recent re-release on 45RPM vinyl by Analogue Productions only serves to highlight its engineering travesty.Rudy Van Gelder had the great fortune to record the best of the best in jazz for ...
