John Law / Sam Burgess / Asaf Sirkis: Congregation: The Art of Sound Volume 4
by Jakob Baekgaard
In music, the material of the artist is sound. Music is the shaping of sound. It's no coincidence, then, that British pianist John Law has named his ambitious tetralogy The Art of Sound. The final installment, Congregation: The Art of Sound Volume 4, finds Law working with the same trio--bassist Sam Burgess and drummer Asaf Sirkis--as ...

King (or his management) decided that he wasn't going to tour again outside of North America, thereby filling seats up on a “farewell" European ...
Dan Tepfer / Lee Konitz: Duos with Lee
by Raul d'Gama Rose
This record is reminiscent of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue (Columbia, 1959)--not historic, like that legendary record, which set modal jazz in motion--but very likely similar to that session, that must surely have been charged with near-ceaselessly flowing ideas. Duos with Lee comes from the hearts, minds and fingers of pianist Dan Tepfer and alto saxophonist ...

Yaron Herman Trio: Muse
by Chris May
Muse is Yaron Herman's fourth album and with it the Israeli-born/French-based pianist continues his steady progress towards a mature post-Keith Jarrett, post-Brad Mehldau style and the certainty of world ranking. Still in his late twenties, Herman set out his stall with the piano/drums duo album Takes 2 To Know 1 (Sketch, 2005), which was followed by ...

Brad Mehldau
by AAJ Italy Staff
Luglio Suona Bene Cavea, Auditorium Parco della Musica--Roma - 05.07.2009 C'ha pensato Brad Mehldau a far luce sulla Cavea dell'Auditorium dopo che, un istante prima del suo ingresso sul palco, l'ultimo raggio di sole di una domenica equatoriale aveva mollato la presa su Roma. Il pianismo di Mr. Mehldau è messo a fuoco fin dalla prima ...
Rick Germanson Trio: Off the Cuff
by John Kelman
With so many mainstream piano trios flooding the market, it's increasingly difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. It's easier when, in the instance of a Brad Mehldau, John Taylor or Enrico Pieranunzi, the artist's voice is so distinctive and approach so readily identifiable that there can be little doubt of its relevance. It becomes ...
