John Scofield: Uncle John's Band
by Mario Calvitti
Dopo la parentesi del primo disco realizzato in completa solitudine, il chitarrista John Scofield torna alla formazione per lui più abituale del trio, ma non lo stesso con cui aveva inciso Swallow Tales sempre per la label tedesca. Al posto di Steve Swallow troviamo infatti il contrabbassista Vicente Archer, mentre alla batteria siede nuovamente il fido ...

Charles Mingus: At Antibes 1960 Revisited
by Mark Corroto
At Antibes could easily be an all-time favorite Charles Mingus recording if he had not produced such extraordinary sessions as Mingus Ah Um (Columbia, 1959), Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus (Candid, 1961), The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady (Impulse!, 1963) and Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus (Impulse!, 1964). Listeners can make their own picks, but ...
Denys Baptiste at the 606 Club
by Neil Duggan
Denys Baptiste 606 Club on Oh! JazzLondon August 24, 2023 There is something about jazz and basements, they just seem to work so well together. Maybe it is the intimacy the low lights and low ceilings confer. The 606 Club is a quintessential example of the cellar music venue. It is ...
Charles Mingus: At Antibes 1960 Revisited
by Chris May
Charles Mingus' exhilarating blend of roots and the avant-garde only rarely seems as binary* (see below) as it does on this recording from the 1960 Antibes Jazz Festival. Most often on a Mingus album, you do not hear the joins. This time, on one level, you do. Mingus leads a pianoless quintet completed by ...
OJC Rides Again: Bill Evans & Mal Waldron
by C. Andrew Hovan
Although it wasn't coined specifically for the collection, the idea of an “embarrassment of riches" is perfectly suited to describe the vast holdings of the Fantasy Records firm. Starting out as a small west coast concern, their success with the group Creedence Clearwater Revival allowed them to expand their operations in 1971. The address of Tenth ...
Giuseppe Millaci and the Vogue Trio: Double Portrait

Over the course of four albums for Hypnote Records--Songbook (2017), The Endless Way (2019), Interaction: Live At Flagey (2022), and now, ...
The 14 Jazz Orchestra: Islands
by Jack Bowers
The music on these Islands is almost as sizzling as the summer weather in sun-drenched Miami, thanks to composer/arranger Dan Bonsanti's Florida-based, world-class The 14 Jazz Orchestra, whose fourth album provides yet another textbook lesson in the art of colorful and swinging big-band rhetoric. Bonsanti formed the ensemble as a rehearsal band in ...

Boston-based pianist Tim Ray and his rhythm mates, bassist John Lockwood and drummer Mark Walker, have been performing together since 2013, and Fire & Rain is their second recording as a trio.
