Eddie Gomez: Per Sempre
by Dan Bilawsky
Bassist Eddie Gomez has never received the attention he deserves as a leader. While that's largely due to the fact that he spends so much time making other people sound better, the reason isn't important; it's an injustice, regardless of the cause. His pliant and flexible bass has been the binding agent and rhythmic-melodic-harmonic go-between responsible ...

Carlos Franzetti - Allison Brewster Franzetti: Alborada
by AAJ Italy Staff
Solo un artista di classe sopraffina come Carlos Franzetti poteva riuscire nell'ambizioso progetto di fondere sensibilità classica e tradizione brasiliana, sia colta che popolare. Il modello di riferimento è quello di Victor Villa Lobos, rinnovato con un respiro ritmico del terzo millennio. Ne discende un'opera di grande poesia e di fascinosa bellezza, che trascende generi e ...

Carlos Franzetti / Allison Brewster Franzetti: Alborada
by Dan Bilawsky
Pianist Carlos Franzetti's versatility is one of his many virtues. Few artists could pull off a solo piano project like Mambo Tango (Sunnyside, 2009), and then turn right around and create such moving music for orchestra and piano. Fortunately, Franzetti has the talent, drive and discipline to match his ambitions and Alborada is the proof.

by Greg Simmons
With Alborada, pianists Carlos Franzetti and Allison Brewster-Franzetti, along with the City of Prague Philharmonic, have attempted an ambitious fusion of jazz and classical music that ventures far beyond simple orchestral arrangements as aural wallpaper. Third Stream--the blending of genres to create a hybrid of sorts--has been around, with varying degrees of success, for ...
Federico Britos: Voyage
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The world continues to awake to the rising tide of undiscovered music and musicians from the South American paradigm, in an almost ironic kind of reversal of Alejo Carpentier's voyage of musical discovery in his 1953 work, The Lost Steps. As this is going on, the Uruguayan violinist Federico Britos celebrates five decades in the lonely ...
