John Taylor: Phases

Read "Phases" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

In oltre quaranta anni di attività - spesso al fianco di alcuni tra i più grossi nomi della scena jazz internazionale (soprattutto europei) - non sono molti gli album incisi a proprio nome dal pianista John Taylor, che ha sempre privilegiato le collaborazioni. Negli ultimi anni, però, la tendenza sembra essersi invertita, grazie anche alla nostra ...

Vincent Courtois - Sylvie Courvoisier - Ellery Eskelin: As Soon as Possible

Read "As Soon as Possible" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Se si dovesse pensare ad una nuova Third Stream contemporanea As Soon as Possible, pur non costituendone un tassello imprescindibile, ne farebbe parte in pieno. In effetti il tentativo di coniugare la musica euro-colta con la creatività jazzistica sembra essere uno dei tratti distintivi di questo lavoro del tutto improvvisato. I due punti di partenza dell'incontro ...

Edward Simon: Poesia

Read "Poesia" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

With a winning combination, it's rarely a good idea to mess with it. Pianist Edward Simon has recorded with a number of great trios, including the one at the core of Simplicitas (Criss Cross, 2005). His music took a giant leap forward, however--in terms of composition, arrangement and performance--with Unicity (Cam Jazz, 2006), featuring bassist John ...

Enrico Pieranunzi: Enrico Pieranunzi Plays Domenico Scarlatti

Read "Enrico Pieranunzi Plays Domenico Scarlatti" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Italian jazz pianist Enrico Pieranunzi uses a very liberal interpretation of the allegro notation when interpreting the tempi of several of the sonatas on Enrico Pieranunzi Plays Domenico Scarlatti. This is evident right off the bat with the opening Sonata in E Major, K. 531. Allegro is defined as “fast and bright." Okay: well, jack that ...

Landon Knoblock: The Heartbeat, The Breath

Read "The Heartbeat, The Breath" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

"New Beauty," titolo della terza traccia, si potrebbe considerare come il manifesto programmatico di The Heartbeat, The Breath. Una nuova bellezza che si svincola dai canoni classici della formazione jazzistica per eccellenza ma che ne conserva le consolidate caratteristiche di base. Originario di Miami, residente a Brooklyn, Knoblock ha partecipato piuttosto attivamente alla scena creativa di ...

Enrico Pieranunzi - Marc Johnson - Joey Baron: Dream Dance

Read "Dream Dance" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

ome Keith Jarrett, Pieranunzi sta cominciando a fare il verso a se stesso, riproponendo in serie una musica ed una formula ampiamente documentate su disco. Non si contano più i suoi recenti dischi per la Cam, che ne sta producendo la stagione più mainstream, volta a citare e citarsi. Tecnica sopraffina arcinota e solido interplay di ...

Martial Solal: Live at the Village Vanguard: I Can't Give You Anything But Love

Read "Live at the Village Vanguard: I Can't Give You Anything But Love" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Ottanta sono gli anni di questo geniale musicista, festeggiati in uno dei templi moderni del jazz. Favorita dalla dimensione live, la musica proposta al Village Vanguard si snoda all'insegna dell'imprevedibilità armonica, con in più il furore sacro della vis improvvisativa. “On Green Dolphin Street" apre la sequenza di pagine memorabili, dove la narrazione appassionante del pianista ...

Enrico Pieranunzi / Marc Johnson / Joey Baron: Dream Dance

Read "Dream Dance" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Focusing on all-original material, pianist Enrico Pieranunzi's Dream Dance proves that when there's the right chemistry, a group can retain it throughout the years, even if reconvening only occasionally. While not a regular working unit like Keith Jarrett's enduring Standards Trio with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, Pieranunzi's trio with bassist Marc Johnson and ...

John Taylor: Phases

Read "Phases" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

As much as he's become a major proponent of the piano trio tradition, John Taylor is gradually building a solo piano discography that may not be as voluminous or popularly acclaimed as those of Keith Jarrett's, but certainly bears comparison as much for its substantial differences as for any perceived similarities. While Taylor himself would cite ...

Martial Solal: Live at the Village Vanguard: I Can't Give You Anything But Love

Read "Live at the Village Vanguard: I Can't Give You Anything But Love" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Martial Solal is a nuclear physicist of the piano. He tinkers with the subatomic structure of compositions, moving elements around, pulling them apart, and smashing them together in ways that both surprise and delight. Solal was born Algiers in 1927, settling in Paris in 1950 where he worked with Django Reinhardt and American expatriates Sidney Bechet ...
