Alexis Cuadrado: Noneto Ibérico
by AAJ Italy Staff
Noneto Ibérico si è rivelato un piccolo caso nella discografia jazzistica americana del 2011. Un affresco di ampio respiro che fa incontrare la creatività di Alexis Cuadrado, contrabbassista e bandleader di Barcellona, con un agguerrito gruppetto di improvvisatori di stanza a New York. Dopo aver ottenuto un grant per una composizione cameristica, Cuadrado ha realizzato una ...
Michael Cain: Solo
by Mark F. Turner
A yawn can spontaneously develop when hearing about another solo release in which the unaccompanied music can, at times, result in a monochrome listening experience. But in the case of Michael Cain's Solo, a savvy work of acoustic piano with electronic manipulations, the outcome is--to coin a very dated phrase--in Technicolor. Cain who ...
Jerry Gonzalez: Y el Comando de la Clave
by Raul d'Gama Rose
In considering living modern masters of the trumpet, Wynton Marsalis comes to mind first, not Jerry Gonzalez. This is a travesty, because in the warm, bronze glow of Gonzalez's sound there is a singular majesty that deserves much wider recognition than the trumpeter gets. Perhaps it is because he plays in an idiom slightly more insular ...
Federico Procopio: Early Years
by AAJ Italy Staff
Federico Procopio, giovane chitarrista, compositore e arrangiatore è una delle belle speranze del jazz nostrano. E questo Early Years, che segna il debutto discografico del musicista romano come leader, non delude. Classe 1986, arriva all'opera prima dopo una gavetta costellata di seminari di perfezionamento, clinics con musicisti dello spessore di Scott Henderson e di Chris Potter ...
Ron Carter's Great Big Band: Ron Carter's Great Big Band
by Dan McClenaghan
Bassist Ron Carter rode to high profile during his stint with trumpeter Miles Davis' second great quintet, the stellar mid-1960s ensemble that also included pianist Herbie Hancock, drummer Tony Williams and saxophonist Wayne Shorter--all of whom, like Carter, went on to create great things. Carter also used the opportunity afforded by the Davis boost to become ...
Thomas Heberer's Clarino: Klippe One
by AAJ Italy Staff
In questo doppio LP, il trombettista quarantacinquenne Thomas Heberer, tedesco ma stabilitosi a New York, presenta due facce della sua ricerca estetica. I primi nove brani lo vedono in trio col clarinettista belga Joachim Badenhorst ed il bassista franco-tedesco Pascal Niggenkemper: emergono un interplay misurato, un intreccio poco appariscente ed approcci strumentali poco virtuosistici, basati su ...
Dom Minasi: Looking Out, Looking In
by Bruce Lindsay
Over three days in July, 2011 guitarist Dom Minasi entered Studio 104 in New York and recorded seven solo electric guitar improvisations. The tunes, gathered together as Looking Out, Looking In, form Minasi's first ever solo album. The guitarist is an experienced improviser with an extensive discography. He's capable of impressive flights of ...
Joelle Leandre - India Cooke: Journey
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nel percorso musicale della contrabbassista francese Joelle Leandre le incisioni in duo rappresentano una “voce" di tutto rilievo che merita particolare attenzione. In varie occasioni (C'est ça...Joelle Léandre...) abbiamo avuto modo di approfondire Firedance, registrazione in duo effettuata in compagnia della violinista India Cooke (Red Toucan 2004), che ritorna anche nella performance dell'aprile 2005 al Le ...
Tineke Postma: The Dawn Of Light
by John Kelman
Since her 2004 debut as a leader, Dutch saxophonist Tineke Postma has released records almost like clockwork every alternate year, with The Traveller (EtceteraNow, 2009), as strong a statement as she's made, featuring a quartet of Americans including drummer Terri Lyne Carrington--constant companion since Postma's sophomore For the Rhythm (Munich, 2005). The Dawn Of Light returns ...
