Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis, featuring Norah Jones: Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles

Read "Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

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

Read "Double Portrait" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

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

Read "Plays Live" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

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

Read "When The Heart Emerges Glistening" reviewed by Troy Collins

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 ...

Joe Lovano: Joe Lovano - Bird Songs

Read "Joe Lovano - Bird Songs" reviewed by Jonathan Wertheim

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'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 ...

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 ...
