Antonio Sanchez: New Life
by Glenn Astarita
Add Antonio Sanchez's name to the list of modern era drumming titans. He cut his teeth with guitarist Pat Metheny amid stints with vibraphonist Gary Burton and first-call session activities, paralleling his burgeoning solo career that continues to flourish. Sanchez always performs with his peers, and with the superstar dual sax attack of David Binney and ...
Kris Davis: Capricorn Climber
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se nel recensire alcuni dei suoi precedenti lavori ci eravamo sbilanciati nel sottolineare le doti di questa pianista di origini canadesi ancora giovanissima, individuandola come talento cristallino da seguire attentamente, con questo Capricorn Climber Kris Davis conferma appieno tutto quanto di buono era stato detto sul suo conto. E lo fa con una maturità sorprendente anche ...
Azymuth: Light as a Feather
by AAJ Italy Staff
Le omonimie nel mondo della musica, al di là del puro fattore nominale, sono curiose per gli accostamenti che provocano. Al di là dell'aver suonato entrambi con Miles Davis, non si può ad esempio dire che i due Bill Evans [il pianista e il sassofonista] abbiano molto in comune. Tantomeno i due George Lewis, il clarinettista ...
Hans Olding: No Place Like Home
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il chitarrista svedese Hans Olding si sta avvicinando alla soglia dei quarant'anni (è nato a fine febbraio del 1975) e dimostra di aver raggiunto una maturità ben evidente. In questo album le sette composizioni eseguite sono tutte scritte da lui e mostrano quanto sappia coordinare le linee melodiche con le armonie raffinate e moderne del jazz ...
Matteo Fraboni Quintet: This Is My Music
by AAJ Italy Staff
This Is My Music è per Matteo Fraboni il primo disco da leader, e un sogno che si concretizza dopo un percorso formativo durato diverso tempo, e che lo ha condotto fino in quel di Brooklyn, dove in una serrata seduta di registrazione del gennaio 2011 ha dato vita - insieme a una band composta da ...
Kit Downes: Light From Old Stars
by Bruce Lindsay
Given pianist/composer Kit Downes' standing in the UK jazz scene it's rather surprising that Light From Old Stars is only the third album he's released under his own name. It's less surprising when his relative youth--he was still in his mid-20s when he recorded this album--and active membership in bands such as Troyka and Stan Sulzmann's ...
Robert Hurst: BoB: a Palindrome
by Steve Bryant
Detroiter Robert Hurst has been considered one of the best bassists to come out of the Jazz Renaissance of the '80s. His melodicism, technique, and harmonic acumen positioned him as a first- string bass man. Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis made him his bottom man for the better part of the '80s, and as part of saxophonist Branford ...
Chet Atkins and Les Paul: Guitar Monsters
by Skip Heller
The seventies were bountiful years for guitar fans. Looking now at Guitar Player magazines of the period, it's almost dizzying to see how many veteran guitarists were doing some of their most interesting and liberated work. Bop stalwarts, blues greats (often obscure), and notable country pickers were all well-represented on vinyl throughout the decade, on a ...
Joelle Leandre & Jerome Bourdellon: Evidence
by Glenn Astarita
Bass and flute represent significant tonal contrasts and here, flutist Jerome Bourdellon and world-renowned bassist, composer and improviser Joelle Leandre divulge innumerable perspectives and quite a bit of food for thought on these duets. However, Bourdellon employs bass clarinet and bass flute on two tracks, as no other instruments are nestled into the mid-sections of the ...
Alessandro Paternesi P.O.V. Quintet: Dedicato
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il trentenne batterista Alessandro Paternesi guida questo quintetto nel quale compaiono alcuni tra i più interessanti giovani musicisti italiani, alcuni dei quali - Enrico Zanisi, Francesco Diodati, Gabriele Evangelista - già inseriti in formazioni di artisti di primo piano e assegnatari di riconoscimenti da parte della critica.
