Martial Solal: Solitude

Read "Solitude" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Ennesima prova d'autore di Martial Solal, splendido protagonista di un disco meraviglioso in solitudine. Un'opera impressionante per il modo in cui arriva dritta sia al cuore che alla mente del fortunato ascoltatore. Una gemma di perfezione, in cui nulla è fuori posto: tensione emotiva; verve; sapienza armonica; capacità descrittiva, quasi visionaria di aggiungere nuove cellule melodiche ...

Walter Beltrami: Piccoli Numeri

Read "Piccoli Numeri" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Leggendo il titolo dell’album e delle undici tracce in esso contenute si può intuire come Piccoli numeri, seconda uscita per la nuova serie Cam Jazz dedicata ai giovani talenti, possa rivelarsi un album minimalista, introspettivo e riflessivo. Siamo dalle parti di una proposta musicale che definire jazzistica in senso stretto sarebbe riduttivo. Ci sono, è vero, ...

Roberto Gatto: Traps

Read "Traps" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Parte un po’ in sordina Traps, album d’esordio del nuovo quartetto di Roberto Gatto. I primi due brani, pur ottimamente suonati, galleggiano in una sorta di limbo, quello delle atmosfere tenui e delicate, tutto nuances e frasi carezzevoli, che può felicemente sublimarsi in poesia ma altrettanto velocemente sconfinare in frasi fatte, in deja vu e, nel ...

Scott Colley: Architect of the Silent Moment

Read "Architect of the Silent Moment" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Un pezzo di downtown newyorchese trasferito sulle sponde del Tevere che, durante il tragitto virtuale, perde asperità e frenesie tipiche della grande mela per assorbire la gioiosa indolenza capitolina. Potrebbe essere questa la fotografia di presentazione di Architect of the Silent Moment, l’album licenziato dal quartetto del compositore e contrabbassista Scott Colley, supportato per l’occasione da ...

Edward Simon: Unicity

Read "Unicity" reviewed by Ken Dryden

by Ken Dryden

Pianist Edward Simon's seventh CD as a leader is his best effort to date. On display are his gifts as an improviser, composer and arranger with two sympathetic partners--bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade. The entire CD has the feeling of a suite, rather than separate unrelated tracks that just happened to be recorded during ...

Michele Rabbia - Marilyn Crispell - Vincent Courtois: Shifting Grace

Read "Shifting Grace" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La grazia mutevole del titolo potrebbe fare riferimento un po’ a tutte le cose che vengono in mente ascoltando questo disco: la rapidità con cui il suono improvviso sembra fuggire nella sua irripetibilità; il passaggio di una penna su un foglio simulata nel pezzo “Fantasia su uno scritto”; la corsa dell’archetto sulle corde del violoncello e ...

Scott Colley: Architect of the Silent Moment

Read "Architect of the Silent Moment" reviewed by Stephen Wood

by Stephen Wood

Scott Colley's ability to fuse free-form improvisation, complex meters, grooving melodies, rock harmonies and atonality has solidified his position as a New York jazz musician of the new generation. Unfortunately we live in a plagued era in which musical complexity is worth just as much as--if not more than--musical accessibility and the communication of ideas. Architect ...

Francesco Cafiso Quartet: Happy Time

Read "Happy Time" reviewed by Martin Gladu

by Martin Gladu

Many names come to mind as convenient references for precocious jazz talents: Pat Metheny, Brad Mehldau, the Marsalises, Bireli Lagrène, Roy Hargrove, etc. With Happy Time Sicilian-born Francesco Cafiso (born in 1989) earns his place amongst such once-profiled wunderkinds. Having won, among many competitions, the International Massimo Urbani Award at age eleven and the EuroJazz Competition ...

Scott Colley: Architect of the Silent Moment

Read "Architect of the Silent Moment" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

If an artist is the sum total of his experiences, then Scott Colley's reach is nearly limitless. In twenty years the bassist has appeared on nearly 150 albums, ranging from mainstream work with Jim Hall and Carmen McRae to more left-of-center projects with Andrew Hill and Greg Osby. His own releases have been migrating towards a ...

Edward Simon: Unicity

Read "Unicity" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Padronanza assoluta dello strumento e capacità illimitata di variare tipologia e modalità nel processo compositivo. Sono le caratteristiche principali della cifra artistica del pianista venezuelano Edward Simon, qui al suo primo disco per la Cam Jazz. Rispetto alle sue precedenti incisioni da leader, egli si dimostra artista ancora più completo e maturo sul piano dell’organizzazione musicale. ...
