Brian Patneaude: All Around Us
by Andrew J. Sammut
An active part of the jazz scene in New York's Capital District, Brian Patneaude's fifth album shows off his originality and depth as a tenor saxophonist and composer. The six original compositions and two covers on All Around Us were “inspired by people, places and events" in Patneaude's life, adding a personal gravity to the assured ...
Nina Pedersen: Songs from the Top of the World
by AAJ Italy Staff
Programmaticamente intitolato Songs from the Top of the World, questo disco della cantante norvegese (ma residente in Italia da venti anni) Nina Pedersen non mancherà di sorprendere gli ascoltatori, almeno quelli italiani non usi alla lingua e alle atmosfere tradizionali nordiche. Buona parte della scaletta è difatti composta di traditional della ricca tradizione scandinava a cui ...
Jared Gold: Golden Child
by Mark F. Turner
Jazz organist Jared Gold continues to make his presence known, both in name and sonically. Energizing and free yet possessed of a comprehensive knowledge of the Hammond B3 organ, he communicates with the language of giants such as Don Patterson and Chris Foreman of the Deep Blue Organ Trio. It's been said that “either you have ...
Eri Yamamoto Trio: The Next Page
by John Sharpe
It is arguable whether a bar is the right venue for jazz in the 21st century. On any given night most of the punters are there for a chat with friends over drinks, maybe to pick someone up, and just perhaps to appreciate the music. For the last decade, Japanese pianist Eri Yamamoto and her trio ...
Ricardo Gallo's Tierra de Nadie: The Great Fine Line
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il progetto Tierra de Nadie, del pianista colombiano Ricardo Gallo, trae ispirazione da un pensiero di Julio Cortazar, riportato nelle note di copertina dell'album, che afferma che “la musica è una terra di nessuno, un territorio in cui quel sottile confine che separa i generi, e le identità nazionali/razziali, si fa sempre più labile. Un pensiero ...
Giuliano Tull Quartet: Boparte
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'inizio proietta l'ascoltatore esattamente dove il titolo del brano e del disco promettono. “Boparte" è fuoco che scorre nelle vene, walkin bass irresistibile, il sax contralto del leader che si lancia in una vertiginosa escursione solistica, ossia i sacri crismi dell'estetica bebop. Ma ben presto ci si accorge che deviazioni più o meno palesi affiorano durante ...
Carlos Jimenez / Mambo Dulcet: Red Tailed Hawk
by Dan Bilawsky
Latin jazz flute players aren't exactly commonplace, but artists like Dave Valentin, Nestor Torres, Bobby Porcelli and, more recently, Mark Weinstein have helped to widen this avenue of instrumental exploration. They've paved the way and opened up a world of possibilities for fine and feisty flautists of the present and future to flourish in danceable domains. ...
Devin Gray: Dirigo Rataplan
by Hrayr Attarian
Despite his youth, drummer Devin Gray has built an impressive resume and a well- deserved reputation as both an improviser and instrumentalist. His first CD as a leader, Dirigo Rataplan shows that he is not a slouch in the composition or bandleader department either. The record's title, loosely translated from Latin and French, ...
Anthony Pateras: Errors of the Human Body
by AAJ Italy Staff
Conosciutisi a Melbourne nei primi anni Duemila, il regista Eron Sheean e il musicista Anthony Pateras [pianista e compositore il cui talento va di pari passo con l'ampiezza delle collaborazioni, che spaziano dall'ambito classico/contemporaneo all'improvvisazione, passando per il fantastico duo Pivixki] hanno collaborato dapprima per alcuni cortometraggi, per approdare ora, con Errors of the Human Body, ...
Sabrina Lastman: The Candombe Jazz Sessions
by Eyal Hareuveni
The Candombe Jazz Sessions reflects Sabrina Lastman gift of storytelling. It does not matter if it is an improvised wordless tale, a poetic interpretation sung in Spanish or Portuguese, or her thoughts put to music.
