Franck Tortiller - Michel Godard - Patrice Héral: Impertinance
by AAJ Italy Staff
Quello che colpisce in questo disco, innazitutto, è l’eccellente equilibrio tra tre strumenti che probabilmente mai si erano riuniti per un intero progetto, e forse ancora più raramente hanno formato un gruppo a sé stante. Sin dall’ottimo inizio di “Les sorcières” nel pedale ripetitivo di quattro misure, su cui improvvisa in un volo radente la marimba, ...
Antonio Sanchez: Migration
by AAJ Staff
The desert has a story hidden in its eye. Many things take up its plot: the earth, the ever-changing sky, those that pass through it. Antonio Sanchez's debut, Migration, deftly evokes the life of the desert as an allegory for the journey within all of us. Sanchez climbed to prominence in the Pat Metheny Group, whose ...
Scott Colley: Architect of the Silent Moment
by Fred Bouchard
For bassist Colley's Architect of the Silent Moment, a conceptual construct (more poetically, a fantasia) for small ensemble, the oft-quoted dictum has rarely seemed more apposite: “Less is more. Colley starts with a core quartet of Ralph Alessi (trumpet), Craig Taborn (keyboards) and Antonio Sanchez (drums), and guests emerge and disappear throughout the subtle, largely written, ...
Richard Galliano featuring Gary Burton: If You Love Me (L'Hymne a L'Amour)
by John Kelman
Fifteen years after his death, tango legend Astor Piazolla's influence continues to be felt. Both accordionist Richard Galliano and vibraphonist Gary Burton have released tributes to the late composer/performer, and so it's no surprise that the two have joined up to mine Piazolla's music and more on If You Love Me (L'Hymne à L'Amour). They explore ...
Oregon: 1000 Kilometers
by John Kelman
The challenge facing any longstanding group is retaining its core qualities while remaining contemporary and vital as the years pass. Oregon may well be the longest-running group in jazz today, with three of its four members together since its inception in 1970. Its ability to combine detailed composition with near-telepathic free improvisation can still be heard ...
Antonio Sanchez: Migration
by John Kelman
These days it seems that too many young artists are jumping into the fray as leaders too soon. They may have admirable technique, but they're often still searching for a voice, and would served to wait a little longer before taking that all-important leap. That's not the case with Antonio Sanchez. Since emerging in the late ...
Guildhall Big Band with Special Guest John Taylor: Pure and Simple
by John Kelman
It would be easy to call Pure and Simple a John Taylor project, since all the charts are his and he's a featured soloist on every track. But, as was the case with the Australian Jazzgroove Mothership Orchestra's The Mothership Plays the Music of Mike Nock (Jazzgroove, 2006), that would be a mistake. As part of ...
Kenny Wheeler: It Takes Two!
by AAJ Italy Staff
Con oltre cinquant'anni di attività professionale alle spalle, il trombettista Kenny Wheeler è da tempo un protagonista di spicco sulla scena jazz mondiale, in virtù di una voce strumentale nitida e inconfondibile, e una straordinaria abilità compositiva, che lo ha portato a scrivere temi memorabili e raffinati, soffusi di una gioiosa malinconia (l'ossimoro è una efficace ...
Roberto Gatto: Traps
by John Kelman
Best-known to North American audiences for his work with fellow Italian, trumpeter Enrico Rava on Easy Living (ECM, 2004) and The Words and the Days (ECM, 2007), drummer Roberto Gatto is, nevertheless, a busy artist in his home country, appearing on dozens of albums over the past two decades. He's also a drummer who, like artists ...
Enrico Pieranunzi - Marc Johnson - Joey Baron: Live in Japan
by AAJ Italy Staff
Leggi Enrico Pieranunzi, Joey Baron, Marc Johnson e pensi immediatamente Bill Evans Trio. Vuoi per la dichiarata ammirazione di Pieranunzi al grande pianista di Plainfield, e per l’approfondito studio del musicista e della sua musica culminato nel bellissimo libro “Bill Evans - Ritratto di artista con pianoforte“ (Ed. Stampa Alternativa). Vuoi perchè di Bill Evans, Marc ...
