Simcock Garland Sirkis: Lighthouse
by John Kelman
With Lighthouse, saxophonist Tim Garland, pianist Gwilym Simcock and percussionist Asaf Sirkis make the move to completely egalitarian collective. It's also the first album to feature the trio without any additional guests. Garland's Lighthouse Trio first came together on the saxophonist's If the Sea Replied (Sirocco, 2005), an ambitious song cycle that--in addition to including mates ...
Dan Cray: Meridies
by Dan Bilawsky
Change is never easy, but it's often the key to growing as a person and an artist. Pianist Dan Cray has released a series of well-received CDs and carved out a comfortable musical existence with his trio in Chicago, but he understood that a change of scenery and a jump into jazz's deep end would do ...
Mickylee: deComposing Cats
by Nenad Georgievski
For his debut, guitarist Mickylee teams up with a bunch of excellent players to come up with something that is nothing short of superb. Miroslav Mirosavljev, aka Mickylee, is a Serbian expatriate living and working in Vienna, Austria both as a composer, with chiefly music for theater, and a guitar teacher. No matter ...
Carmelo Coglitore: Carmelo Coglitore With String Trio
by AAJ Italy Staff
Carmelo Coglitore, compositore, sassofonista e clarinettista siciliano messosi in luce come membro di Mahanada e Webindra, forma qui un quartetto assieme a tre musiciste classiche dell'est Europa - la violinista e la violoncellista sono polacche, la violista è lituana - incontrate a Reggio Calabria, ove Coglitore risiede, e coinvolte in un curioso progetto, trasversale e multiforme. ...
Vitor Pereira Quintet: Doors
by Jerry D'Souza
Doors makes for an ambitious leader debut for guitarist Vitor Pereira, who describes a wide canvas of styles, each interpreted with an avid sense of accomplishment. Born in Porto, Portugal, Pereira first studied and played classical music, moving to London in 2004 and getting his degree in jazz. From then on he established himself ...
Solid & Seamus Blake: Visitor
by AAJ Italy Staff
Solid è il nome di un trio organo/chitarra/batteria norvegese con alle spalle alcuni album interessanti che testimoniano la voglia di questi tre musicisti di portare avanti, senza limiti e restrizioni, un formato legato agli anni sessanta e all'etichetta Blue Note come l'organ trio, che da alcuni anni sta tornando in auge (con i necessari aggiustamenti). In ...
Norberto Tamburrino: Lovely Tunes
by Edward Blanco
Italian-born pianist and composer Norberto Tamburrino has always had an affinity for a primarily solo performance. Two prior albums, Deco (Splasc(h) Records, 2006) and Prisoner of the Sea (Arabesque Records, 2007), were half or mostly solo sets, while Ascoltabile Piano & Atmosphere (Art Notes Records, 2010) is an entirely solo performance of original modern compositions. With ...
Chicago Trio: Velvet Songs to Baba Fred Anderson
by AAJ Italy Staff
Caloroso tributo a Fred Anderson, fondamentale figura del jazz creativo di Chicago, non solo come artista, ma anche come instancabile supporto alle generazioni più giovani di improvvisatori e come proprietario del mitico Vevet Lounge. Registrato nel 2008, due anni prima della scomparsa di Anderson, questo doppio della RogueArt fotografa dal vivo la telepatica tensione creativa che ...
Guillaume de Chassy: Silences
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Pianist Guillaume de Chassy insists that Silences is inspired by the example of clarinetist Jimmy Giuffre's late-1950s trio recordings. To be sure, like those records, this album is marked by intimacy and introspection, a strong clarinet sound and no drummer. But Silences, recorded at a French abbey, doesn't sound much like Giuffre's records--nor indeed, like much ...
Noah Kaplan: Descendants
by AAJ Italy Staff
Chi sono i 'discendenti' a cui fa riferimento nel titolo il giovane saxofonista Noah Kaplan? Certamente non sono i pronipoti hawaiani del bel film con George Clooney, che porta lo stesso titolo (in Italia non si sa perché è stato ribattezzato Paradiso Amaro). Forse guardando le cose a rovescio, i 'discendenti' sono proprio i quattro musicisti ...
