Greg Burk: Unduality
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Unduality, a duet between pianist Greg Burk and Dominican-born conguero Vicente Lebron, is quite simply the most innovative interpretation of Johann Sebastian Bach's “Invention #1" since conceived by the master. It could be one of the most striking re-imaginings of a previously composed piece, ever. In themselves, the Bach's Inventions are superlative creations demonstrating contrapuntal technique, ...
Gretchen Parlato: In A Dream
by C. Michael Bailey
Vocalist Gretchen Parlato is part Bobby McFerrin, part Theo Bleckmann, and David Binney. All men, yes. Parlato's voice is light as an apparition, ethereal and implied.

Bobby McFerrin: Vocabularies
by AAJ Italy Staff
A quando risale l'ultimo capolavoro di McFerrin? Diciamo, più o meno, all'esordio omonimo; 28 anni fa. Poi c'è stato il live The Voice e anche Spontaneous Inventions. Una trilogia nella quale il cantante newyorkese imponeva la sua multiforme e giocosa abilità vocale sospesa tra le esperienze di Tormé, Vaughan, Hendricks e Manhattan Transfer e le possibilità ...

Jan Bang: Head, Shoulders, Hips, Knees and Toes
by John Kelman
When it comes to organically integrating modern technology into music, few countries are innovating to the degree of Norway, and at the epicenter of that country's forward-thinking approach to melding improvisation with jazz and Norwegian traditionalism--not to mention contemporary classicism, pop, ambient and more; truly any and all musical markers--is producer/remixer/sampler Jan Bang, who has just ...
