Ravi Coltrane: Spirit Fiction
by Troy Collins
The second son of John and Alice Coltrane, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane was born two years before his father's death in 1967. Despite his imposing lineage, Coltrane's steady rise to prominence in the jazz world has been anything but conspicuous; notable stints as a sideman with Steve Coleman, Elvin Jones and Wallace Roney in the mid-1990s eventually ...
I´M ANITa: Antri Ripieni
by AAJ Italy Staff
In questo Antri Ripieni il quartetto I´M ANITa si dedica, per trentacinque minuti compatti e godibili dall'inizio alla fine ad un jazz moderno che guarda da lontano alle avanguardie newyorchesi. Evitando di appiattirsi a quel modello di riferimento, e restando con i piedi ben piantati da questa parte dell'Atlantico, questo gruppo marchigiano - che ben illustra ...

Emilia Markensson - Barry Green: And So It Goes...
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se mai vi imbatteste in questa cantante svedese non tirate diritto. Fermatevi ad ascoltarla. Emilia Mårkensson nasconde per ogni riccio dei suoi lunghi capelli una sorpresa. Ha incontrato a 15 anni il jazz. E non si è spaventata di certo. Lo ha affrontato con l'ingenuità della sua età, ma anche con il coraggio incosciente di chi ...
Louis Sclavis Atlas Trio: Sources
by John Kelman
It's not uncommon for artists to shake things up by changing personnel to explore roads previously untraveled, but few push themselves so relentlessly into new territory through revamped instrumentation as Louis Sclavis. Still, since coming to ECM with the auspicious Rouge (1992), the French clarinetist/saxophonist has always maintained continuity between recordings--cellist Vincent Courtois carried over from ...
Bobby Wellins and Kate Williams: Smoke And Mirrors
by Bruce Lindsay
A title such as Smoke And Mirrors suggests there's trickery afoot: musical shortcuts, electronic skullduggery and all manner of subterfuge. There isn't: this is simply 45 minutes of beautiful acoustic music from two talented players who are, without wishing to sound too clichéd, in perfect harmony.Tenor saxophonist Bobby Wellins has been one of the ...
MegaOctet: E Total
by Anthony Shaw
As the 15-page spread in the May, 2012 issue of French Jazz Magazine demonstrated, Andy Emler is a Frenchman with a special gift. Not only a creative composer and arranger, as well as a broadly talented keyboardist, he is the man who has found ways to harness the redoubtable creative energies of his notoriously temperamental countrymen ...
Rosario Di Rosa: Yawp!!!
by AAJ Italy Staff
Yawp!!! è il nuovo album del pianista siciliano Rosario Di Rosa che, ispirandosi ad un verso del poeta americano Walt Whitman, crea una suite senza continuità con un unico denominatore: l'emigrazione in tutti i suoi vari aspetti. Si parte col brano “The Dream Is on the Table" (I'm on the Table Too) che cattura l'attenzione per ...
Vinny Golia Quartet: Take Your Time
by AAJ Italy Staff
I componenti del Vinny Golia Quartet vantano una frequentazione, a vario titolo e in varie formazioni, assai longeva che risale, per il batterista Alex Cline, addirittura a quasi quarant'anni fa. Particolare questo di non poco conto per poter comprendere appieno il livello di interplay profondo che intercorre tra i quattro musicisti, la loro capacità di percepire ...
Lorenzo Lombardo: Black Nile
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il batterista Lorenzo Lombardo, dopo un lungo periodo di studi ed esprienze sul campo, realizza un album di standard energico e vibrante intitolato Black Nile dal brano di Wayne Shorter del 1964 inserito in scaletta. Lombardo guida una band di consumati professionisti. Di particolare rilievo la prova di Dick Oatts, che si alterna tra alto, soprano ...
