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 ...
Enrico Pieranunzi / Marc Johnson / Joey Baron: Live in Japan
by John Kelman
By no means a newcomer to the scene, Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi's star has only begun to rise significantly in North America in the past couple of years, with albums including the outstanding FelliniJazz (Cam Jazz, 2004) and Plays Morricone (Cam Jazz, 2005) finally more readily available. The double-disc Live in Japan, recorded in the spring ...
Lee Konitz/Martial Solal: European Episode Impressive Rome
by Fred Bouchard
Lee Konitz has been ever the pliable innovator over sixty years since he began (at twenty with Lennie Tristano) beating a cooler, looser bebop path divergent from that of Charlie Parker. Konitz has always enjoyed head-to-head confrontations--he laid down an album of iconoclastic duets in 1967--and keeping that ego-free persona. Fleet meets phlegmatic in this exquisite ...
Giovanni Guidi: Indian Summer
by AAJ Italy Staff
Con Indian Summer del quartetto di Giovanni Guidi, la Cam Jazz Records inaugura una serie dedicata ai giovani talenti del jazz italiano e internazionale. E parte bene, perché il disco sembra quasi un classico dei nostri tempi, non solo per i chiari riferimenti stilistici alla musica accademica presenti nel pianismo di Guidi, ma per la sua ...
Enrico Pieranunzi / Marc Johnson / Joey Baron: Live in Japan
by C. Michael Bailey
I suspect that at least a gazillion electrons have been sacrificed to the obvious influence that Bill Evans had on Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi...and I am going to offer up a few million more. Pieranunzi is well-studied in the Evans musical method, even establishing a temporal connection to Evans through bassist Marc Johnson, who performed with ...
