Tommaso Starace Quartet: Simply Marvellous! Celebrating the Music of Michel Petrucciani

Read "Simply Marvellous! Celebrating the Music of Michel Petrucciani" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

A due anni di distanza da Blood & Champagne Tommaso Starace omaggia l'immensa figura di Michel Petrucciani con un album dal titolo che suona come una dedica d'amore: Simply Marvellous!. Il punto esclamativo sembra d'obbligo, sia per la qualità del repertorio proposto, sia per lo spessore tecnico e la voglia riversata dagli interpreti in questa registrazione. ...

Mino Lanzieri: The Alchemist

Read "The Alchemist" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

The Alchemist è una sorta di vetrina ordinata e luccicante delle qualità (note) di due fuoriclasse d'oltreoceano (Gene Jackson e Reuben Rogers) e quelle (meno note) di due emergenti italiani (Mino Lanzieri e Francesco Nastro). Luccicante perché le otto composizioni di Lanzieri fungono da ideale trampolino di lancio per le escursioni solistiche di turno, che siano ...

Hannes Riepler: The Brave

Read "The Brave" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay

by Bruce Lindsay

The British music scene produces more than its share of homegrown talent these days, young players who for the most part emerge from the country's music colleges into the professional scene and then, not content with waiting for the phone to ring, go out and create many of their own gigging and recording opportunities. It's a ...

Eivind Aarset: Dream Logic

Read "Dream Logic" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

With the exception of trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær and singer Sidsel Endresen--who each left the label after contributing two fine albums as leaders--there seems to be an increasing number of Norwegian artists who, after establishing themselves on smaller labels, are gaining greater international exposure by moving to the venerable ECM label. Trumpeter Arve Henriksen and Cartography ...

Rob Mazurek Pulsar Quartet: Stellar Pulsations

Read "Stellar Pulsations" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

by Jerry D'Souza

Cornetist Rob Mazurek creates a liquid and volatile flow of time and space in his configuration of the planets, after which he names the compositions on this CD. Each has an attribute described by the arc of his imagination, bringing in distinctive structures and moulds. The band, drawn from the larger context of his Exploding Star ...

Christina Gustafsson: The Law Of The Lady

Read "The Law Of The Lady" reviewed by Chris Mosey

by Chris Mosey

This has nothing to do with the transition to democracy in Burma; instead, it's Swedish jazz singer Christina Gustafsson's third attempt at emerging from under the shadow cast by her much better-known sister, Rigmor. Sadly, it's unlikely to make much of a dent internationally. The principal fault lies in drummer Calle Rasmusson's production; ...

Marco Cappelli's Italian Surf Academy: The American Dream

Read "The American Dream" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Il gotha degli autori italiani di musica da film, periodo fine anni sessanta inizio settanta, riunito in questa incisione dal chitarrista Marco Cappelli che, con quei film e con quella musica, è cresciuto, sognando praterie sconfinate, cavalieri intrepidi, surfisti spericolati impegnati in evoluzioni sotto lo sguardo ammiccante di ragazze mozzafiato. E naturalmente le chitarre dei Beach ...

Angelica Sanchez Quintet: Wires & Moss

Read "Wires & Moss" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

L'aura di Tim Berne aleggia lieve sopra questa ottima band. Quattro su cinque componenti del Quintet provengono infatti da molte avventure con Tim, episodi di formazione fondamentali per la loro maturazione. Brava Angelica dunque, a sceglierli e a guidarli con discrezione ma risoluta fermezza. Sanchez è in un periodo di notevole intensità creativa: il solo piano, ...

Soren Dahl Jeppesen with Oskar Gudjonsson: Red Sky

Read "Red Sky" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

L'ormai noto Jakob Bro ha aperto la strada, Soren Dahl Jeppesen l'ha seguito a ruota; è la new wave della chitarra danese che annovera tra le sue file anche musicisti come Mikkel Ploug e il già affermato Mark Solborg, seppur questi impegnati su altri versanti espressivi. Perché Jeppesen, trentenne come Bro, ama le atmosfere rilassate, il ...
