Jovino Santos Neto: Veja o som
by AAJ Italy Staff
Veja o som è un disco che merita di essere segnalato all'attenzione dei nostri lettori, grazie ad un musicista estremamente creativo, che proietta il proprio background musicale (il Brasile) in una nuova dimensione interpretativa, timbrica e perfino poetica. Proprio come il jazz, la musica del pianista Jovino Neto incorpora altri registri espressivi ma sa anche lasciarsi ...
Derek & the Dominos: Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs: The 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition
by Doug Collette
Derek & The Dominos' Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs: The 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition is a valiant attempt to compile a definitive version of Eric Clapton's finest work. The package of two CDs collects studio rarities from early and late in the band's career, as well as previously unreleased television performances, remastered in punchy clarity. ...
Gecko Turner: Gone Down South
by Chris M. Slawecki
Gecko Turner is a globe-trotting Spanish musician and singer with a particular sweet spot for all the different aspects of American R&B and soul. While composing, arranging, and performing (on guitar, keyboards, percussion and more), Turner demonstrates a light and natural touch for mixing different soul and R&B styles--mostly from the US, but some from Latin ...
Aruán Ortiz: Alameda
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il pianista cubano Aruán Ortiz pubblica per la collana New Talent della etichetta spagnola Fresh Sound Alameda, lavoro - registrato nel settembre 2006 - nel quale si avvale della presenza del saxofonista Antoine Roney, amico e mentore che si distingue per gli efficacissimi interventi in tre delle otto tracce proposte. Tutti originali, tranne l'elegante rivisitazione di ...
The Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman: Cote D' Azur
by Jeff Winbush
Of the many incarnations of Russ Freeman's The Rippingtons, the current version is one of the strongest, with the players actually cohering as a band and not simply sidemen in Freeman's long-running side project. He remains the guiding light as the principal composer, writer and producer, giving the other musicians some stimulating music to play. Jeff ...
Ray Charles: Rare Genius: The Undiscovered Masters
by C. Michael Bailey
Concord records began celebrating Ray Charles' 80th birthday with the release of Rare Genius: The Undiscovered Masters, a collection of masters recorded during the '70s, '80s, and '90s, when the singer/pianist was largely silent, having forever changed American music in the '60s. These selections, housed in the vault of Charles' RPM International Studios in Los Angeles, ...
Giovanni Tommaso Apogeo: Codice 5
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il nome di quest'organico - che Tommaso ha varato nel 2007 nel trentennale dello scioglimento del Perigeo, rimanda per opposizione a quel celebre gruppo ma ne rimarca anche la distanza. I punti di riferimento non sono tanto le sperimentazioni elettriche ma un sofisticato modern mainstream, variopinto e accattivante. Come ha detto il contrabbassista “l'unica vera analogia ...
Captain Black Big Band: Captain Black Big Band
by Bruce Lindsay
The man behind the Captain Black Big Band is pianist Orrin Evans. The ensemble's eponymous debut recording is a CD of such style, musicality and instrumental power that it seems only right to ensure that Evans gets the credit upfront. This is straight-ahead, swinging, big band music, recorded at three live performances in New York and ...
Jim Black Alasnoaxis: Houseplant
by AAJ Italy Staff
Houseplant è un flusso navigante di umori, di toni e scale. Con “Inkionos" vengono ad intersecarsi diverse sensibilità acustiche, dai modi sordi e dai colori pastello. Ci sono poi momenti di delicato rock, che riportano all'esperienza Sonic Youth, come “Houseplant," una ballata trasognante e trasparente. Una ricerca attraverso la canzone che si esaurisce in maniera complessa, ...
Marc Copland: Crosstalk
by John Kelman
After spending the early part of the 2000s in a recording spree that found him releasing as many as four albums each year on a variety of labels, Marc Copland has, since 2006, parked his piano with Germany's upstart Pirouet label. It's clearly been a fruitful pairing, with Copland releasing a variety of albums, in 2009 ...
