Questo perché sono molti i musicisti preparati sotto l'aspetto tecnico e con un bagaglio teorico notevole, ...

John Taylor: Requiem for a Dream

Read "Requiem for a Dream" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Commissionata nel 2007 dall'università di York (UK), questa suite di cinquanta minuti trae spunto dall'opera dello scrittore statunitense Kurt Vonnegut. Alcuni personaggi chiave dei suoi racconti danno infatti il titolo agli episodi di un disco intimo e toccante, ancorché affascinante. Secondo un canone ormai consolidato del pianista inglese, si impongono anche qui limpide architetture, musicali e ...

John Taylor: Requiem for a Dreamer

Read "Requiem for a Dreamer" reviewed by John Kelman


It's been three years since John Taylor's last trio disc, but this time the British pianist takes a small detour, rather than continue the winning streak of Angel of the Presence (Cam Jazz, 2006) and Whirlpool (Cam Jazz, 2008). Requiem for a Dreamer reunites Taylor with his longstanding trio--Swedish bassist Palle Danielsson and British drummer Martin ...

Giovanni Guidi: We Don’t Live Here Anymore

Read "We Don’t Live Here Anymore" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Un intimismo naif venato di sottile nostalgia, un senso armonico potente, ma anche una capacità di superare con personalità la semplice padronanza del linguaggio jazzistico sono alcuni dei caratteri salienti di Giovanni Guidi, uno dei protagonisti più accreditati della nuova scena del jazz italiano. In questo nuovo disco lo troviamo alle prese con dieci belle composizioni ...

Kenny Wheeler: One of Many

Read "One of Many" reviewed by John Kelman


In a 2001 Norma Winstone interview, the British vocalist referred to Kenny Wheeler as “the Duke Ellington of our time." Wheeler, whose reputation has grown almost in spite of his own quiet humility, may not possess Ellington's populist cachet, but that doesn't mean the trumpeter's music is any less distinctive or groundbreaking, and with no small ...

Diego Urcola Quartet: Appreciation

Read "Appreciation" reviewed by Charles Walker


Subtlety seldom brings rewards in the life of a journeyman jazz musician. In a field overcrowded with competent colleagues, plagued by spotty media coverage and half-starved by the problems facing the music industry more generally, a gimmick is often required to garner even scant attention. Argentinian-born, New York-based trumpeter Diego Urcola--a long-time member of Paquito D'Rivera's ...

Diego Urcola Quartet: Appreciation

Read "Appreciation" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Trumpeter Diego Urcola's is a voice that has remained somewhat hidden--certainly tucked away--for two decades in Paquito D'Rivera's quintet. And then there is the subdued role he has played in Guillermo Klein's fabulous larger ensemble, Los Guachos. However, the graceful candor of his voice is irrepressible, and it was only a matter of time before he ...
