Bonnie Barnett Group: In Between Dreams
by AAJ Italy Staff
Pur avendo un'oggettiva difficoltà a raggiungere un consistente pubblico, entro la scena della sperimentazione vocale continuano a operare artiste di valore, che portano avanti le innovazioni di Joan LaBarbara, Laurie Anderson e Diamanda Galas. Bonnie Barnett appartiene alla generazione appena successiva: dopo studi classici negli Stati Uniti e al conservatorio dell'Aia, dagli anni settanta opera in ...
Avi Granite's Verse: Snow Umbrellas
by Bruce Lindsay
Snow Umbrellas is guitarist/composer Avi Granite's third album as leader, as well as the debut from his New York quartet, Verse. Released on Granite's own Pet Mantis Records, the album features trumpeter Ralph Alessi, bassist Jerry DeVore and drummer Owen Howard on a set of Granite's original compositions that range from the free, improvised feel of ...
Cinque: Catch A Corner
by Dave Wayne
With legendary drummer Steve Gadd and organist Joey DeFrancesco in the lineup, and a clutch of Canada's top session men rounding out the personnel on Catch A Corner, Cinque gives a tip of the hat to the CTI label and its particular style of relaxed--but not smooth--jazz-funk. Olivia Cardinali's vivid cover photograph seems reminiscent of Pete ...
Roberto Fega: Daily Visions
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se avessimo la possibilità di consultare l'albero genealogico di Daily Visions molto probabilmente, a un certo livello, potremmo incappare in My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Perché l'album di Roberto Fega ha in comune con il lavoro seminale di Brian Eno e David Byrne non tanto il profilo ritmico e melodico - che in questo ...
Massimiliano Rolff Unit Five: More Music
by AAJ Italy Staff
Gli Unit Five capitanati dal contrabbassista Massimiliano Rolff sono attivi dal 2005, e in questo nuovo episodio in studio ripropongono la formula hardboppistica che li ha resi una realtà interessante del panorama jazzistico ligure e non solo. More Music è composto da otto brani originali firmati da Rolff, il quale ricama spazi e situazioni nelle quali ...
Branford Marsalis Quartet: Four MFs Playin' Tunes
by Dan Bilawsky
Saxophonist Branford Marsalis has always exhibited a straight-to-the-point attitude in his deeds and musical actions, so the title for his latest quartet date shouldn't come as a great shock. His choice of words matter-of-factly proclaims that this music isn't about highbrow ideals, umbrella themes or hyper-intellectual constructs; this is about four musicians making music and serving ...
Daniele Vianello Trio: No Signal
by AAJ Italy Staff
No Signal è un disco d'esordio. Ed ha molte caratteristiche che ci dovremmo sempre attendere da un debutto: ha una sua originalità, tradotta nelle scelte espressive e negli andamenti stilistici mai scontati; fa trasparire in maniera netta la voglia da parte di chi ci suona di divertirsi, e dunque di comunicare; riesce ad arrivare al cuore ...
Branford Marsalis Quartet: Four MFs Playin' Tunes
by Mark F. Turner
The departure of the Branford Marsalis quartet's longtime drummer, Jeff “Tain" Watts, left a hole that would not easily be filled and subsequently sparked the excellent 2011 duo release Songs of Mirth and Melancholy (Marsalis Music) featuring Marsalis and pianist Joey Calderazzo. But that percussive void has been filled with a transfusion of new blood from ...
Rafael Toral - Davu Seru: Live in Minneapolis
by AAJ Italy Staff
Live in Minneapolis è la testimonianza discografica di uno dei numerosi concerti tenuti da Rafael Toral nel corso del tour per gli States effettuato nel 2011, che lo ha visto spesso impegnato in performance con musicisti locali. In questa registrazione è accompagnato dal batterista Davu Seru, noto per le sue collaborazioni con musicisti come Evan Parker, ...
The Brubeck Brothers Quartet: LifeTimes
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
LifeTimes, the fourth CD from the Brubeck Brothers Quartet, is a powerful tribute to musical giant Dave Brubeck by two of his natural sons (bassist/trombonist Chris Brubeck and drummer Dan Brubeck) and two of their “honorary brothers" (guitarist Mike DeMicco and pianist Chuck Lamb). Half the compositions are Dave's, most of them dating back decades, but ...
