Ivo Perelman: The Passion According G. H.

Read "The Passion According G. H." reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

L'interesse di Ivo Perelman per gli archi si è espresso in molti suoi album e in tutte le possibile sfaccettature, dall'impressionante corpo a corpo con il violoncello di Tomas Ulrich su Sieiro all'incontro con il violino di Rosi Hertlein, ad esempio su Near to the Wild Heart, o con il quartetto d'archi insieme al CT Quartet ...

Timucin Sahin Quintet: Inherence

Read "Inherence" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La chitarra a doppio manico (uno dei quali fretless a sette corde) di Timucin Sahin (origini turche, studi in Olanda, residenza attuale newyorchese) è la protagonista assoluta di questa incisione. Non nel senso più prevedibile di primadonna egocentrica e vanitosa ma come prolungamento indispensabile e convincente delle idee compositive ed espressive del leader. Certo una front ...

M'organ Quartet: M'organ Quartet

Read "M'organ Quartet" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Stilisticamente parlando il lavoro omonimo del M'organ Quartet si posiziona in ambito jazz-rock, senza cercare altre strade espressive, in quello che a conti fatti risulta come un percorso netto, con qualche fuori programma da catalogare come bluesy e funky. Intenzione ben chiara sia dall'assetto di line-up, con contrabbasso elettrico, chitarra elettrica, Hammond e batteria, e anche ...

Mauricio Pessoa: Habitat

Read "Habitat" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Bossa nova blossomed in the public eye a half century ago and, though it isn't a pop radio staple anymore, it still retains its firm standing in the world of jazz and in its native Brazil. Those who were there at the beginning, or worked with the originators of this style at a later date, have ...

Miki Hirose: Scratch

Read "Scratch" reviewed by Edward Blanco

by Edward Blanco

Presenting a superb list of new originals, New York-based trumpeter Miki Hirose delivers an impressive second effort on Scratch providing a challenging yet, very accessible musical statement that reflects in some part, his affinity for the Latin genre.

Chris Potter: The Sirens

Read "The Sirens" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

Saxophonist Chris Potter has consistently shown a deep feeling for jazz tradition and a willingness to modernize his vocabulary at the same time. The lyricism of Lester Young, the fearlessness of Charlie Parker, the keening spiritualism of John Coltrane and the tireless creativity of Sonny Rollins all inspire him, as do funk, electric set-ups and classical ...

Evan Weiss: Math or Magic

Read "Math or Magic" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Attenzione, perché qui siamo di fronte ad un disco coraggioso. Che lo si condivida o meno nei suoi esiti artistici, Math or Magic, il debutto come leader del trombettista Chicagoano Evan Weiss, è qualcosa che non si ascolta così di frequente. Innanzi tutto, è difficile catalogarlo in un genere. Non che questo sia per forza un ...
