Matthew Read Trio: Anecdotes II
by Roger Farbey
The opener “Snow Part 1" strongly evokes memories of the open strings of John McLaughlin's guitar on the Miles Davis timeless classic In A Silent Way. Benedict Wood's lithe guitar work continues on “Many Roads Travelled" here displaying dexterity in the soloing, whereas on “Surprise Flight" Wood shows he can evince a melodic structure with chords ...
Quin Kirchner: The Other Side of Time
by Kevin Press
Albums that clock in at anything near 90 minutes are not automatically major works. On the other hand, this new effort from Quin Kirchner and Co. is hard to describe in any other terms. Kirchner's six-piece band has delivered a wide-ranging, powerful disc. Things get rolling with the appropriately titled “Ritual." From the start, ...
John De Leo, Fabrizio Puglisi: Sento Doppio
by Luca Muchetti
Prendete le cuffie, e ascoltate questo Sento Doppio attentamente e in completo silenzio. Quello firmato da John De Leo (al secolo il Massimo De Leonardis che ha militato nei Quintorigo fino al 2004) e Fabrizio Puglisi, un album uscito per la Carosello Records, non è un disco per orecchie distratte. Non perché un duo pianoforte e ...
Peter Madsen: Satin Doll – A Tribute to Billy Strayhorn
by Angelo Leonardi
A dispetto di una carriera ricca di incisioni e collaborazioni, iniziata nel 1987 con Stan Getz, il pianista Peter Madsen è un tipico esempio di musician's musician, molto apprezzato dai colleghi ma poco noto al grande pubblico. Quest'incisione europea (Liechtenstein, novembre 2015) è nata per commemorare i cento anni della nascita di Billy Strayhorn, ...
Daniel Bruce: Earthshine
by Friedrich Kunzmann

Quin Kirchner: The Other Side of Time
by Gareth Thompson
Quin Kirchner was forging a musical career in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina. Despite his house being ruined, he held off from leaving until the last moment due to gig commitments.

Mark Dresser: Modicana
by John Sharpe
As virtuoso bassist Mark Dresser has been performing and recording solo since 1983, you can guarantee that he knows what he's doing. And Modicana fully meets expectations, presenting an accomplished and engaging album which belies the potential austerity of the unaccompanied recital. The limited edition LP collects two pieces recorded live at the 2016 Umea Jazz ...
Cairo: Say
by Glenn Astarita
Keyboardist/vocalist Rob Cottingham is the founder of the highly regarded UK-based progressive rock outfit, Touchstone. Yet Cairo is a new venture with Lisa Driscoll sharing vocal duties for an album that exceeds expectations due to the largely memorable works that bridge gorgeous and wistful harmonies with the musicians' impressive technical faculties. The band's resonating soundstage is ...
Silke Eberhard Trio: The Being Inn
by Alberto Bazzurro
Quarantacinque anni, tedesca di Heidenheim an der Brenz (ma ormai di stanza a Berlino), Silke Eberhard guida da alcuni anni il trio protagonista di questo album, diretto, corporeo, al cui interno il suo contralto (più di rado il clarone) si distende con estrema libertà, di misura e di dizione, con un senso della forma che definiremmo ...
