Benny Green: Then And Now
by Maurizio Zerbo
L'interesse del cinquantacinquenne pianista statunitense è qui rivolto a recuperare la migliore lezione della fusion, in voga negli Settanta. Quella di Chick Corea, Bob James e Hubert Laws, solo per fare qualche nome, che flirtava felicemente con il jazz e la musica brasiliana all'insegna della distesa ma squisita musicalità. Ne discende un progetto di grande piacevolezza, ...
Bassist Joseph Patrick Moore releases Nevada Sun on Blue Canoe Records
Joseph Patrick Moore updates the catalog with his 12th solo release, Nevada Sun. Two years in the making, Mr. Moore has teamed up with...well, himself...to produce just right album at exactly the right time.

CTI on BGO, Part 2
by Jakob Baekgaard
2018 proved to be a very good year for reissues of CTI-albums on the British label, BGO. They stepped up with an abundance of albums from the likes of guitarist Jim Hall, saxophonist Stanley Turrentine and flautist Hubert Laws (you can read about them here).

Eric Dolphy: Musical Prophet: The Expanded 1963 New York Sessions
by John Sharpe
This lovingly and lavishly packaged set reissues two of reedman Eric Dolphy's LPs along with outtakes from the two day 1963 sessions which yielded them, along with some unreleased later material on which Dolphy was a sideman. The set places a well-deserved focus on one of the pioneers of what became known as the New Thing, ...

Eric Dolphy: Musical Prophet:The Expanded 1963 New York Sessions
by Jerome Wilson
Eric Dolphy's lone Blue Note album, 1964's Out To Lunch! is rightly regarded as a classic but the two records he made for the short-lived Douglas label just before that, Conversations (1963) and Iron Man (1963), have been largely forgotten, due in part to being out-of-print for many years. Now the Resonance label has done something ...
Rain Sultanov: Putting Baku On The Jazz Map
by Ian Patterson
The Baku Jazz Festival has been a labor of love for its founder and Artistic Director, Rain Sultanov. And, like most love stories, there have been a few bumps along the road. Thirteen editions in, however, the Baku Jazz Festival is well established as one of the highpoints of Azerbaijan's annual cultural calendar. It mightn't draw ...
Marcus Miller: America's AmBASSadoor
by Jim Worsley
Marcus Miller is most often described as a jazz, funk, soul, fusion, and R&B bassist. As much as that is accurate, it is a description that falls well short of the mark. Miller is a high-end musical sponge who manages to incorporate today's cultures and rhythms into his compositions, layered within the framework of sound he ...
