by AAJ Italy Staff
January 24, 2011

A due anni da Distances, torna il trio di Norma Winstone, con Glauco Venier al pianoforte e Klaus Gesing alle ance. Il lavoro è una naturale continuazione del precedente, del quale conserva non solo atmosfere e sonorità, ma anche sostanzialmente il repertorio: i testi sono quasi senza eccezioni della Winstone, le musiche in parte originali (di ...

Matthew Garrison: Shapeshifter Live 2010 Part 1

Read "Shapeshifter Live 2010 Part 1" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson
January 24, 2011

Were it not for demanding touring/recording schedules for an impressive A-list of jazz and pop musicians, bassist/composer Matthew Garrison's discography as leader would surely amount to more than the two studio recordings and one live recording up to 2004. Nevertheless, six years on, Shapeshifter Live 2010 Part 1 is cause for celebration among those who like ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
January 24, 2011

Groove Lélé è un gruppo folk della Reunione, piccola isola di lingua francese a est del Madagascar, costituitosi nel nome di Granmoun Lélé, illustre esponente (deceduto nel 2004) della musica - di per sé alquanto meticcia - maloya.

Meadow: Blissful Ignorance

Read "Blissful Ignorance" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman
January 24, 2011

It's been out in Norway since late 2009, on the relatively small Hecca Records label, but any recording with a trio this fine deserves to be out in the world in a bigger way, and so Britain's Edition Records--no longer an upstart company, with over 20 releases in the past 30 months--has picked up Blissful Ignorance, ...

Patty Cronheim: Days Like These

Read "Days Like These" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey
January 24, 2011

Livia Devereux's Night Winds Whisper (Self Produced, 2010) sported a very jazzy “Walking After Midnight" , proving that well-written music can survive in any genre climate. Patty Cronheim proves the same on Days Like These, a disc also populated with lesser-known standards and forays outside of the typical jazz realm. Stevie Wonder's “Superstition" ...

January 24, 2011

Jazz Brasil continues flautist Mark Weinstein's odyssey through the world of Latin jazz. The former trombonist-turned-philosophy-professor-turned-flute-phenom has delivered a steady stream of Latin jazz releases that highlight material from well-known Latin American composers, deal with original material, and deliver Latin-ized takes on jazz classics. His previous release, Timbasa (Jazzheads Records, 2010), tackled Cuba with percussion-heavy gusto, ...

Jon Irabagon: Foxy

by AAJ Italy Staff
January 24, 2011

Prendere o lasciare. Amore incondizionato o pollice verso. Foxy, il quarto disco del cappellaio matto Jon Irabagon, richiede, anzi, esige una presa di posizione. E il perché si fa presto a dirlo: un assolo di 78 minuti non può lasciare indifferenti. Si, si, avete letto bene: 78 minuti di tambureggiante, travolgente, infuocata improvvisazione. Un flusso ininterrotto ...

The majority ...

Mauro Ottolini Sousaphonix: The Sky Above Braddock

by AAJ Italy Staff
January 24, 2011

L'album d'esordio (Sousaphonix) ci aveva fatto conoscere una band tra le più sorprendenti, eccitanti e divertenti del panorama italiano. Sousaphonix (il nome fa riferimento all'inventore dell'ingombrante strumento a fiato pensato per le marchin' band) riunisce sotto la leadership di Mauro Ottolini un gruppo di musicisti dalla mente aperta, per lo più facenti capo all'etichetta/collettivo El Gallo ...
