James Kinds: Love You From The Top
by Nic Jones
Guitarist/vocalist James Kinds was hailed as a promising young bluesman back in 1977, but since then success that might have promised has eluded him. Indeed, it's not unfair to say that he hasn't even managed to maintain a profile of the likes of Billy Branch and Lurrie Bell, with whom he toured Germany back in the ...
Kurt Rosenwinkel: Our Secret World
by AAJ Italy Staff
Kurt Rosenwinkel è uno dei migliori chitarristi della sua generazione. Quella generazione chiamata ad approfondire le evoluzioni sulle sei corde di maestri come Pat Metheny, John Scofield e Bill Frisell, a loro volta discendenti diretti di Jim Hall e Wes Montgomery, senza dimenticare gli eretici John McLaughlin e Jimi Hendrix. Rosenwinkel è partito dalla Berklee e, ...
Peter Eldridge: Mad Heaven
by Dan Bilawsky
"Easy listening" is a term that's often associated with bland, tepid material which serves as background fodder in supermarkets and shopping malls, but the term isn't negative by nature. Easy listening has a positive side, and Peter Eldridge's Mad Heaven is the proof. Eldridge packages charming pieces in an easy-to-swallow format that belies the sophistication behind ...
Vinicius Cantuária / Bill Frisell: Lagrimas Mexicanas
by Mark F. Turner
The fruit of Lagrimas Mexicanas is one born of mutual respect and collaboration between two distinct music icons. Bill Frisell's trajectory has spanned the paths of jazz and Americana, becoming one of the most respected guitarists in the business. A fine guitarist in his own right, but more noted for his heartthrob vocals, Brazilian singer-songwriter Vinicius ...
Owen Howard: Drum Lore
by AAJ Italy Staff
Durante un workshop estivo un alunno gli chiese: “Ma cosa fa qui Mr. Owen, questa è una master class di composizione e lei è un batterista!". Questa provocazione oltre ad sottolineare come sia ancora diffuso lo scetticismo nei confronti del batterista-compositore è stata la scintilla che ha di fatto messo in moto il motore del progetto ...
Theo Travis: All I Know: An Anthology
by John Kelman
He's been on the scene for twenty years, but it's only been in the past few that Theo Travis has risen to prominence beyond the expanding group of musicians who call him up when they need a saxophonist/flautist with jazz chops but a rock sensibility--and an appreciation of the organic marriage of technology with acoustic instruments ...
Douglas Detrick's AnyWhen Ensemble: Rivers Music
by C. Michael Bailey
The preciousness of youth. Douglas Detrick is not even 30 years old, and already has multiple ensembles and music projects going on the East and West coasts. One such music combo is the AnyWhen Ensemble, which Detrick terms a “Chamber Jazz Group." The music he pushes through this group is not as easily categorized. Part of ...
Trio Scomparcini - Malaguti - Zemolin: Corde e Vocali
by AAJ Italy Staff
È ricca di buon gusto e musicalità quest'incisione della brava cantante friulana con i chitarristi Lanfranco Malaguti e Massimo Zemolin. La prima cosa che si coglie è il clima seducente e raffinato che esplora un ampio repertorio di standard sia della tradizione jazzistica che del mondo latino-americano. Maria Laura Scomparcini s'esprime con intimo appeal, è attenta ...
Wayne Wallace Latin Jazz Quintet: To Hear From There
by Bruce Lindsay
Trombonist and composer Wayne Wallace knows how to have fun, and on the delightfully upbeat To Hear From There his Latin Jazz Quintet makes that fun leap out of the speakers. The group--Grammy-nominated for 2009's ¡Bien Bien! (Patois Records)--is energetic and exceptionally tight. Wallace leads this fine and funky band through a selection of tunes that ...
