Boris Hauf Sextet: Next Delusion

Read "Next Delusion" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Il sassofonista Boris Hauf ha una presenza globale: inglese di origine, risiede a Berlino (come peraltro un numero sempre maggiore di jazzisti) e va spesso a Chicago per suonare con i musicisti della windy city, come appunto è accaduto per questa incisione in cui tre ance e tre batterie si incontrano in modo inconsueto in panorami ...

BassX3 (Gebhard Ullmann - Chris Dahlgren - Clayton Thomas): Transatlantic

Read "Transatlantic" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

L'esplorazione dello spettro basso degli strumenti è certamente lo spunto dal quale parte questo bel progetto intitolato Bassx3 che da tempo il saxofonista Gebhard Ullmann sta coordinando. In questa occasione sono con lui i due bassisti Chris Dahlgren e Clayton Thomas. La registrazione dei nove brani che compongono l'album è stata effettuata a metà agosto del ...

Out to Lunch: No One Left Behind

Read "No One Left Behind" reviewed by Mark F. Turner

by Mark F. Turner

Out to Lunch's No One Left Behind is comparable to collage- an art technique which integrates incongruent fragments, textures and visual forms into a cohesive work. Led by multi-instrumentalist David Levy, the New York-based ensemble at a cursory glance, might be a considered just another experimental jazz funk band. Yet there's clearly more to be gleaned ...

Animation: Transparent Heart

Read "Transparent Heart" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

With his second release for this UK-based progressive record label, award-winning saxophonist/composer/bandleader Bob Belden nurtures and perhaps challenges a youthful cast of musicians who are graduates from his alma mater, the University of North Texas. Moving further east, however, the premise for the production, resides within Belden's impressionistic sensibilities of Manhattan. Belden's jazz-fusion applications ...

Dave Pell: Remembers John Kirby and Big Small Bands

Read "Remembers John Kirby and Big Small Bands" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Historical recreations of music are nothing new. Every tribute recording ever released is one. In the 1980s and '90s, classical music went through its “period instrument-performance practice" phase, where the entire Baroque, Classical and early Romantic repertoires were recreated using instruments and metronomic markings from the 18th and 19th Centuries. In the late 1950s, jazz was ...

Torben Waldorff: Wah-Wah

Read "Wah-Wah" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian

Danish guitarist Torben Waldorff's sixth album as a leader is a collection of elegant, subtle and intensely melodic compositions that simultaneously sound innovative and accessible. Wah-Wah is also his first without a saxophonist, leaving him alone in the frontline. His, long and satisfying solos are often tinted in muted colors as his intricate improvisations remain within ...

Mark Hanslip - Javier Carmona: Dosados

Read "Dosados" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Sono passati solo pochi mesi dalla recensione di Twice, ultimo lavoro discografico del trio Blink (sempre per Babel Label). Nelle prime righe di quell'articolo scrivevo del quasi assioma che vuole che le proposte più interessanti del new jazz contemporaneo sembrino oggi tutte arrivare dalla terra d'Albione. In più, s'incensava il nugolo di ottimi musicisti facenti capo ...

Jon Irabagon's Outright!: Unhinged

Read "Unhinged" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Nel 2009 Jon Irabagon's Outright!, album di debutto da leader per la Innova Recordings, si era abbattuto come un tornado sulla scena jazzistica, nonostante il sassofonista americano di origini filippine Jon Irabagon si fosse già fatto conoscere negli States in vari contesti e come membro degli ineffabili Mostly Other People Do the Killing. In quell'album la ...
