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 ...
Enrico Pieranunzi / Marc Johnson / Joey Baron: Ballads
by Samuel Chell
Pity bassist Marc Johnson. He was an integral part of Bill Evans' trio during the pianist's final year, an extraordinary valedictory culminating in two monumental sets, Last Waltz and Consecration (Fantasy, 1980/2002), only to be orphaned upon the pianist's sudden death at the completion of those remarkable recordings. There would be no one to take the ...
Diego Urcola: Viva
by Elliott Simon
Trumpeter Diego Urcola, a mainstay in Paquito D'Rivera's band, branches out on Viva with an all-star group that includes bassist Avishai Cohen and pianist Edward Simon. In addition, a bevy of Urcola compadres appear as guests, making for a diverse presentation of well-played originals with a Latin flair. Urcola, who hails from Argentina, ...
Enrico Pieranunzi / Marc Johnson / Joey Baron: Ballads
by John Kelman
The simplest stories often reveal the greatest depth. So, too, can the simplest songs yield richer meaning. Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi makes that abundantly clear with Ballads, an album so gentle it can almost pass by unnoticed. But pay attention and what may appear to be a collection of easy-on-the-ears songs prove to be much more. ...
John Taylor: Angel of the Presence
by Martin Gladu
The title sums this record up perfectly. Presence can be defined as the feeling of being close to someone or something, sometimes of a supernatural order; and angels, symbols of spiritual elevation and purity, are ethereal heavenly beings. English pianist/composer John Taylor has succeeded in crystallizing the two not only in a poetic title, but also ...
