Tommy Vig: Welcome to Hungary!

Read "Welcome to Hungary!" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

by Jerry D'Souza

Vibraphonist Tommy Vig has had an interesting career. Born in Budapest, he played the drums when he was six and recorded his first album two years later. Music was his passion, but the political landscape in Hungary was to cast a shadow on his days as a jazz musician. Jazz was banned in 1949, and Vig ...

Carlo Bernardinello: Rain Makers

Read "Rain Makers" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Se proprio non si riesce con un produttore di una certa importanza almeno si può provare a fare dell´autoproduzione. È quello che si sarà detto il batterista Carlo Bernardinello, sfornando una serie di incisioni molto interessanti con il suo gruppo e degli ospiti come il pianista Lars Jansson ed ora su quest´ultimo lavoro vibrafonista Mike Mainieri. ...

Enzo Lanzo: In the Groove

Read "In the Groove" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Sassofono baritono, organo hammond, batteria e... tanto groove. Il trio allestito dal batterista tarantino Enzo Lanzo si butta a capofitto nelle atmosfere infuocate anni settanta per una musica che lascia poco spazio ad asettici intellettualismi o cervellotiche elucubrazioni. Perché In the Groove è ritmo allo stato puro, energia che sprizza da tutti pori, melodie che arrivano ...

Read "7" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Read "Source Material" reviewed by Mark F. Turner

by Mark F. Turner

Jane Stuart: Don´t Look Back

Read "Don´t Look Back" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Il secondo disco della cantante americana Jane Stuart la conferma come un talento molto interessante ed in continua maturazione artistica. Lo swing del brano di apertura “Just Found Out About Love" è coinvolgente e quando la Stuart si stacca da questo modello, ad esempio con i ritmi brasiliani di “Bird of Beauty" (brano composto da Stevie ...

Maurizio Brunod: Bad Epoque

Read "Bad Epoque" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Questo CD in solo del chitarrista Maurizio Brunod sembra spostare le coordinate del suo GPS molto a nord, forse dalle parti di Terje Rypdal, di John Surman, di David Torn o dei fiordi scandinavi. Dopo molti anni in cui la versione acustica dello strumento è stata prevalentemente utilizzata dal chitarrista piemontese nelle occasioni in cui si ...

Lee Shaw: Live at Art Gallery Reutlingen

Read "Live at Art Gallery Reutlingen" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

La pianista americana Lee Shaw, ormai ultraottantenne, ha svolto meritoria attività musicale anche come educatrice (uno dei suoi allievi più famosi è l'eccellente ed eclettico John Medeski) e ogni tanto pubblica qualche album in pieno stile mainstream che però non si fa mancare escursioni avventurose (come per esempio in questo caso con la rilettura corposa di ...
