Charlie Hunter: Not Getting Behind is the New Getting Ahead
by Doug Collette
Charlie Hunter is such an original thinker, composer and musician, that his albums are always interesting. But on this wryly and topically titled project with longtime collaborator and kindred spirit drummer Scott Amendola, the seven-string guitarist outdoes himself.With a rustling flourish from Amendola's kit, the duo slips right into a groove on the languorous, ...
Weber Iago: Piano Masters Series, Volume 3
by Dan Bilawsky
Clarity in sound and format link volumes two and three of Adventure Music's Piano Masters Series, but the artists showcased on these solo dates bear little resemblance to one another. Pianist Philippe Baden Powell, who was featured on Piano Masters Series, Volume 2 (Adventure Music, 2012), laid out a diverse piano portfolio filled with classic jazz ...
Rachelle Garniez: Sad Dead Alive Happy
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'ultima fatica di Rachelle Garniez (il quinto lavoro registrato in studio) lascia il segno. La straordinaria polistrumentista (prima di tutto fisarmonicista, ma anche pianista, chitarrista e bassista), che ha iniziato a suonare quasi per caso, esibendosi per le strade e i metro di Manhattan, torna con questo Sad Dead Alive Happy, un album pieno di invenzioni, ...
Elliott Sharp's Terraplane: Sky Road Songs
by AAJ Italy Staff
Per chi ama il blues, questa nuova avventura di Elliott Sharp e dei suoi Terraplane è un sontuoso banchetto di delizie a cui unirsi immediatamente, senza un attimo di esitazione. Non solo perchè i compagni di viaggio si chiamano Hubert Sumlin, leggendario chitarrista sideman di Muddy Waters e Howlin' Wolf (a cui è dedicato, tra l'altro, ...
Iris Ornig: No Restrictions
by Hrayr Attarian
Intrepid bassist Iris Ornig's second release follows the thematic structure of her remarkable debut, New Ground (Self Produced, 2009), but is more polished and coherent, hence more engaging. This is a hard goal to achieve, as the first was a thoroughly enjoyable and stimulating album. If New Ground was a collection of short ...
Ken Silverman: Visionaries
by Hrayr Attarian
Multi-string instrumentalist Ken Silverman's first solo outing, Visionaries, is a collection of intimate sketches dedicated to those musicians (and other artists) who have inspired him. Silverman penned these abstract, tonal portraits first, and then named them after these iconic individuals. The result is the ultimate homage to eleven trailblazers. Each piece has, within ...
Yusef Lateef: Roots Run Deep
by John Sharpe
Roots Run Deep forms a further installment in the ongoing strand of investigation into the marriage of words and music, which has found a home on the Paris-based Rogue Art label, that also includes Maison Hantee (2009). It's unusual in that though issued under the name of veteran multi instrumentalist Yusef Lateef, the work was actually ...
Zweiton: Form
by Glenn Astarita
Alexander Dowerk maximizes the capabilities of the touch guitar, along with expert drummer Alexis Paulus, on this quality outing, where classic progressive rock inclinations align with a nouveau twist. The duo is a multitasking machine, as both artists employ electronics and programming within the mix. Highlighted by memorable themes and a few doses of lament, the ...
Trish Clowes: And In The Night-Time She Is There
by Bruce Lindsay
Shortly after the release of And In The Night-Time She Is There, her second album, saxophonist Trish Clowes became a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, an honor that goes to the most talented young musicians from the worlds of classical and jazz music. Clowes is a worthy recipient, not least because she crosses the increasingly ...
SAKA: Cementen
by Eyal Hareuveni
The second album from Norwegian power trio SAKA, after last year's Posh! (FMR Records), serves as another reminder of the fertile Norwegian music scene that keeps breeding such excellent bands. This trio has already managed to create its own independent, mature voice while still well-versed in past and current powerful trios legacies that marry free jazz ...
