Daniel Melingo: Corazón & Hueso
by AAJ Italy Staff
Qualcuno l'ha definito come l'uomo che ha reso 'cool' il tango. Noi preferiamo consigliarvelo semplicemente perché Corazón & Hueso è un album che mette d'accordo tutti, amanti del vecchio tango argentino e cercatori di buone canzoni baciate da quel retrogusto di pagine sgualcite di libri e foto in bianco e nero. Melingo è un cantante che ...
EAOrchestra: Likeidos
by Dave Wayne
The worlds of avant-garde classical music and avant-garde jazz mingle seamlessly on Likeidos, by Italy's Electro Acoustic Orchestra. Also known as the EAOrchestra, the ensemble is co-led by trumpeter Mirio Cosottini and bassoonist Alessio Pisani, who also composed most of the music. The preponderance of double reeds--an oboist and four bassoonists--is highly unusual, especially for improvised ...
Edwin Berg Trio: Vol. II
by AAJ Italy Staff
Semplicemente Vol. II, ossia la chiara volontà di indicare questo CD come la naturale evoluzione di Perpetuum (Bee Jazz - 2009), apprezzato album di debutto dell'Edwin Berg Trio. Registrato nel sofisticato studio La Buissonne di Gerard de Haro, >Vol. II presenta una indovinata miscela di composizioni originali e riletture di standard attraverso un approccio che potremmo ...
Bill Cantrall & Axiom: Live at the Kitano
by Edward Blanco
The Kitano New York Hotel, in midtown Manhattan, offers one of the city's most intimate jazz lounge settings, and it is in this boutique hotel that trombonist Bill Cantrall follows up his critically acclaimed debut, Axiom (Up Swing, 2008), with an audacious second effort simply titled Live at the Kitano. Enlisting a core quintet group as ...
Chemical Clock: Chemical Clock
by Dave Wayne
Yet another band arising from Seattle's embarrassment of avant-jazz riches, Chemical Clock is an aggressive and determined young band with a lot of good ideas and more than enough chops to pull them off. Led by keyboardist and composer Cameron Sharif, the quartet's self-titled debut CD EP is a brief and refreshing blast of post- everything ...
Patrick Bebelaar - Joe Fonda - Herbert Joos: Between Shadows and Light
by AAJ Italy Staff
Between Shadow and Light è disco che si colloca in una sorta di terra di nessuno, zona franca musicale dai contorni indefiniti, tra luci e ombre per l'appunto, tra improvvisazione e atmosfere cameristiche, tra sottigliezze timbriche e raffinatezze armoniche, tra omaggi dodecafonici costruiti su accordi maggiori ("Small Melody for A. Schonberg") e la consolidata tradizione jazzistica ...
Phil Grenadier / Bruno Raberg Duo: Plunge
by Dan McClenaghan
Swedish-born and now Boston-based bassist Bruno Råberg explores meditative soundscapes with a flexible free improvisation approach in a variety of ensemble sizes. On Presence (Orbis Records, 2000) he featured a trio lineup. Chrysalis (Orbis Records, 2004) showcased an all-star nonet; and on his sprawling two disc Lifelines (Orbis Records, 2008) he employed a quartet. With Plunge ...
Beppe Di Benedetto 5tet: See the Sky
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nel booklet di See the Sky Beppe Di Benedetto trova il modo di ringraziare molte persone - compresi i vicini di casa per la pazienza dimostrata durante le esercitazioni al trombone - e descrive il momento in cui suo padre si presentò a casa portandogli in dono lo strumento musicale. Aveva dodici anni, e da qual ...
Story City: Times and Materials
by Hrayr Attarian
Named after a town in Iowa, where drummer Steve Jennings' grandparents used to live, Story City is an octet of likeminded musicians exploring the interface between jazz and more pop-oriented styles. Jennings not only founded the group, but also co-leads it with bassist Terry Burns on Story City's debut, Time and Materials. The ...
Taurey Butler: Taurey Butler
by Larry Taylor
Having first heard pianist Taurey Butler while vacationing in Montreal, Canada at the House of Jazz, suffice it say that it was a great night of jazz from a trio also including bassist Eric Lagacé and drummer Wali Muhammad. Butler's self-titled debut features the same trio, playing six familiar tunes and five originals from the pianist.
