Edward Simon: Unicity
by John Kelman
Artistic evolution is an interesting phenomenon. Emerging musicians, filled with the brashness of youth, are often more focused on chops, energy and complexity. But as many mature they evolve into players more concerned with space and profound simplicity. Edward Simon is a strong case in point: the pianist's earlier albums are filled with detailed compositions and ...
John Taylor: Angel of the Presence
by John Kelman
British pianist John Taylor has been an active player since the late 1960s with a range of partners including trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, reedman John Surman and drummer Peter Erskine. But, excluding his Azimuth trio with Wheeler and singer Norma Winstone, he has put out few releases as a leader until the beginning of this decade. Still, ...
Diego Urcola: Viva
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'album è prodotto dall'italianissima CAM Jazz ed il nome dell'artista, Diego Urcola, rivela chiare origini italiane. Il trombettista è però argentino, e la musica proposta nel CD è tutt'altro che vicina alle atmosfere del jazz di casa nostra. Viva è piuttosto un ottimo esempio di jazz “mainstream” newyorkese. Le virgolette sono d'obbligo, perché accanto agli echi ...
John Taylor: Angel of the Presence
by AAJ Staff
English pianist John Taylor, who's now in his mid-60s, has worked with a variety of partners on the ECM label. For a while there, he seemed to have nestled comfortably into a particular vibe, generally sounding quiet and lyrical, soft and elastic, not ever really crossing the line. He was quite reliable for that sort of ...
Enrico Pieranunzi - Marc Johnson - Joey Baron: Ballads
by AAJ Italy Staff
La ballad come luogo privilegiato della memoria e del cuore. È questo il filo conduttore della nuova avventura discografica di Enrico Pieranunzi, che ha il raro dono di divertire e stupire, prima se stesso che gli altri. Il suo è un disco prezioso, che va gustato a piccole dosi per apprezzarne le infinite nuances, per scoprire ...
Edward Simon: Unicity
by Robert R. Calder
Edward Simon, John Patitucci and Brian Blade did a few magical things on a 2003 album under Patitucci's name (Songs, Stories and Spirituals, Concord). At the time these three musicians decided that they ought to get together and do, well, what they do well here. After a minute's “Invocation," they're jamming heartily on Patitucci's “The Messenger," ...
Kenny Wheeler: It Takes Two!
by Martin Gladu
It takes two to tango. Two guitars, that is, on this quartet album by Kenny Wheeler, a very personal outing in a novel setting. Guitarists John Abercrombie and John Parricelli partner with the trumpeter on these Italian sessions, as well as bassist Anders Jormin. References to world music permeate Wheeler's idiosyncratic style in these ...
Lee Konitz / Martial Solal: European Episode / Impressive Rome
by AAJ Italy Staff
Per la gioia dei numerosi appassionati di Lee Konitz, viene pubblicata per la prima volta in CD questa duplice incisione romana del 1968, in cui l’altosassofonista di Chicago è alla testa di un quartetto davvero stellare. Lo compongono Martial Solal al pianoforte, Henry Texier al contrabbasso e Daniel Humair alla batteria. Come ben sanno i jazzofili ...
Roberto Bellatalla - Giovanni Maier - Michele Rabbia: Bows' Wind
by AAJ Italy Staff
Due contrabbassi e batteria. Una configurazione strumentale inedita e molto coraggiosa per questo trio. Mancano i punti di riferimento e allora, come giustamente sottolinea Pino Saulo nelle note di copertina, bisogna inventarsi tutto. Il che apre orizzonti illimitati e offre grande spazio alla creatività. Quanto di meglio un jazzista possa chiedere. Però, dall'altra parte, occorre anche ...
Edward Simon: Unicity
by Mark F. Turner
Pianist Edward Simon has been quietly but profoundly making an impact for a number of years. He's been an astute sideman with high-caliber players like trumpeter Terence Blanchard, saxophonist Greg Osby and guitarist Adam Rogers, but it is his own works--The Process (Criss Cross, 2003) and Simplicitas (Criss Cross, 2005)--that truly reveal his performance and compositional ...
