His band—Andy Langham (piano), Carlitos Del Puerto (bass), Clarence Penn (drums)—masterfully ...
Jazz-Rock Renegade Dean Brown Unleashes Expansive, All-Star Roller Coaster "ROLAJAFUFU"
Guitarist and composer Dean Brown has always done things his way. Nowhere is that in greater evidence than on ROLAJAFUFU, his fifth album as a leader. The title is a playful acronym that encompasses rock-latin- jazz-funk-fusion, the universes Brown explores on this diverse, kinetic recording. Brown’s fiercely independent streak is also exemplified by the fact that ...

Mose Allison: American Legend Live in California
by Alberto Bazzurro
Che dire di questo live del 2006, quando il suo protagonista viaggiava verso gli ottanta (li avrebbe compiuti di lì a un anno, l'11 novembre 2007)? Poco e male, viene spontaneo affermare. Mose Allison ha fior di estimatori, per carità, che evidentemente sono riusciti a trovare nel suo canto sdolcinato e privo di qualunque tipo di ...

La storia del jazz è ricca di drammatiche vicende umane e quella di Mort Weiss è l'ultima in ordine di tempo.

Myra Melford, Ben Goldberg: Dialogue
by Stefano Merighi
Quando il duo Goldberg-Melford fu ascoltato dal vivo in Italia, giusto tre anni fa, apparve, al di là delle straordinarie doti strumentali dei due, ancora in fase di preparazione. Una titubanza latente affiorava in quel camerismo elegante, spesso sussurrato, quasi mai sprigionante le ben note potenzialità di tali esecutori. Il presente Dialogue, al contrario, ...
