Brian Willson: Border Crossing
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questa registrazione del 2007 vede gli statunitensi Brian Willson e Dominic Duval, entrambi nomi rilevanti della libera improvvisazione, con il sassofonista Antonio Arnedo, uno dei migliori jazzmen colombiani, docente all'Universidad Nacional de Colombia ma quasi sconosciuto fuori dal suo Paese. Eppure è uno strumentista di rilievo ed in questo disco gioca al meglio le sue carte ...
Noah Haidu: Slipstream
by Dan Bilawsky
What do slipstreams and music have in common? The simple answer is: flow. While some genres have turned their back on the idea of letting each piece of music flow in its own unique way, subscribing instead to digital quantizing and beat perfection, jazz isn't one of them. On his appropriately titled debut, Slipstreams, pianist Noah ...
The Uptown Jazz Collective: She Do What She Do
by Bruce Lindsay
The Uptown Jazz Collective is a muscular, energetic band that mixes some serious messages with some seriously good time grooves on She Do What She Do.

Various Artists: The Roots of Chicha Volume 2: Psychedelic Cumbias from Peru
by Chris M. Slawecki
The modern tradition of cumbia music in Peru goes back to the 1960s. But in the 1970s, cumbia began to be known as “chicha," the name for an alcoholic drink of which the Incas were famously fond, and cumbia and chicha both somehow became associated with the poor and downtrodden living in Peruvian slums--ghetto music.

Yair Yona: Remember
by Eyal Hareuveni
Yair Yona is a resourceful Israeli guitarist and producer, whose solo debut salutes legendary and innovative finger-picking guitarists from both sides of the Atlantic such as John Fahey, Leo Kottke and Bert Jansch. But Yona does not shy away from updating these guitarists' influential legacies and sounds, with references to modern indie post-rock groups and guitarists ...
Captain Black Big Band: Captain Black Big Band
by Dan Bilawsky
The Posi-Tone label has positioned itself as a prime purveyor of small group jazz, with artists like pianist Orrin Evans leading the way, and both parties are breaking new ground with the release of The Captain Black Big Band. After putting out dozens of small group sessions, the label has taken a bold step in a ...
Dan Block: From His World to Mine
by AAJ Italy Staff
From His World to Mine, “dal suo mondo al mio" è la traduzione letterale del nuovo lavoro di Dan Block, sassofonista e clarinettista sconosciuto ai più ma già con Charles Mingus, Gerry Mulligan, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Maria Schneider e molto attivo sulla scena di Broadway. Scoprendo però che il personaggio in questione è nientemeno che sua maestà ...
Dan Raphael / Rich Halley / Carson Halley: Children Of The Blue Supermarket
by Bruce Lindsay
There have been times when jazz and the spoken word appeared inseparable. Brief times, but times when the combination was a powerful artistic and (counter) cultural force. Children Of The Blue Supermarket brings those times back, a reminder of how effective a partnership the jazz musician and the poet can create. Maybe it's the new thing. ...
K.J. Denhert: Album no.9
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nove come le canzoni, i musicisti impiegati, i mesi serviti per registrare. Nove come il giorno, il mese e l'anno in cui sono iniziate le session. La simpaticissima chitarrista newyorkese scherza con la numerologia. Dice che, in fondo, tutto questo non può non dirsi frutto di semplici coincidenze. Conosce la chitarra dall'età di 10 anni e ...
