Jon Hamar: Hymn

Read "Hymn" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Origin Arts bassist Jon Hamar effects an intimate trio with alto saxophonist Todd DelGiudice and pianist Geoffrey Keezer on Hymn. Heard most recently, prior to this date, on Richard Cole's Inner Mission (Origin Records, 2007), Hamar's Hymn is heavy on introspective yet muscular originals, as Hamar also chooses some sturdy standards upon which to improvise.

Troyka: Moxxy

Read "Moxxy" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

I Troyka sono un trio esplosivo che esplora le forme del riff come elemento costitutivo delle diverse espressioni afferenti alla popular music. Tra progressive rock, jazz e funky, il gruppo conferisce alla classica formula dell'organo hammond-chitarra-batteria un groove inedito dove i loops elettronici e ritmi drum and bass vanno ad incastonarsi in strutture formali d'ascendenza rock. ...

Rino Arbore Quartet: Suggestions from Space

Read "Suggestions from Space" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Fin dalle prime battute quel che colpisce di Suggestions from Space è il suono, o meglio, la ricerca sul suono. È vero, c'è attenzione verso la melodia, sempre presente anche quando non palesemente manifesta, vi sono frangenti nei quali il linguaggio jazzistico con i suoi codici e le sue regole non scritte prende il sopravvento, ma ...

Fred Hersch Trio: Alive At The Vanguard

Read "Alive At The Vanguard" reviewed by Mark Corroto

Tradition is served well on this Fred Hersch Trio live recording from New York's Village Vanguard.

Nils Wogram Septet: Complete Soul

Read "Complete Soul" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Temo sia un classico segno dei tempi. Sino a pochi anni fa, diciamo vagamente “prima della crisi," potevi fare un disco, immetterlo in un “mercato" (se vuoi sempre più asfittico ma comunque “mercato") e, magari vendevi poco, ma potevi almeno aspirare ad avere la fortuna di far conoscere il tuo nome, non fosse altro alle radiofonie ...

Beka Gochiashvili: Beka Gochiashvili

Read "Beka Gochiashvili" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Those who toil in the jazz trenches often spend a lifetime trying to develop their own sound and acquire a high-level understanding of this music, but a select few seem to be born into the fold. Drumming innovator Tony Williams, guitar sensation Julian Lage and pianist Eldar Djangirov were playing at an über-proficient level as children ...

Bobby Previte - Beppe Scardino - Francesco Diodati: Plutino

Read "Plutino" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La grafica di copertina con l'immagine di tre alieni/musicisti che gettano il loro sguardo severo e attonito sulle cose del nostro mondo è un buon viatico all'ascolto del CD che vi ritrovate tra le mani. I tre visitatori dallo spazio rispondono al nome di Bobby Previte, nella funzione di gran cerimoniere e capo delegazione, di Beppe ...

Swedish Mobilia: Knife, Fork and Spoon

Read "Knife, Fork and Spoon" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Siamo abbastanza lontani dall'estetica che prevale in casa Leo: il giovane trio italiano, paritario, affiatato e con la sua propensione per la strumentazione elettronica, presenta una musica diversa tanto dalle alchimie dell'improvvisazione radicale, quanto dalle rigorose strutture che caratterizzano le esperienze più attuali del jazz americano, palesando un debito nei confronti della sperimentazione rock. Più che ...
