Burgos Buschini Duo: EntreveraDOS
by Neri Pollastri
Curiosa e fortunata la genesi di questo bel lavoro di due maestri della musica argentina quali sono Horacio Burgos e Carlos “el tero" Buschini: più volte incrociatisi nella comune città di residenza, Cordoba, e su palcoscenici internazionali, hanno finalmente trovato in Italia prima l'occasione di suonare in duo, sul lago d'Orta, poi quella di registrare, a ...
Russ Johnson: The Headlands Suite
by Troy Dostert
One thing's certain when you listen to a Russ Johnson record: you're going to hear music made with care and craft. Johnson is a discerning composer and trumpeter, and he has a special talent for producing thoughtful compositions that possess enough fluidity and creativity to remain fresh even after repeated encounters. He's also adept at drawing ...
Jessica Radcliffe: Remembrance
by Roger Farbey
It seems propitiously timely to be releasing an album commemorating the centenary of the end of the first world war in November 2018 but vocalist and composer Jessica Radcliffe actually began her Remembrance project back in 2014, developing it as a component of her final year at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music And Dance where she ...
Darrell Katz and the JCA Orchestra: Rats Live on No Evil Star
by Jerome Wilson
Listening to Darrell Katz's music, it boggles the mind that he is not celebrated as one of the best jazz composers-arrangers around. He has been creating ambitious and accessible works full of humor, social conscience and creativity for decades in the Boston area with the Jazz Composers Alliance Orchestra and other groups, yet you rarely hear ...
David Chevallier - Valentin Ceccaldi: Zebres
by Glenn Astarita
These two laudable French improvisers share their collective imaginations with the willing listener via these capacious works that include numerous trade-offs, mimicking lines and fastidious dialogues, occasionally intersected by nouveau chamber motifs. Essentially, the musicians are all over the map with a strong focus and a wealth of interesting propositions. The duo seemingly ...
Reinier Baas, Ben van Gelder, Metropole Orkest: Smash Hits
by Vincenzo Roggero
Il chitarrista Reinier Baas ed il sassofonista Ben van Gelder pur essendo ancora in giovane età (trentatré anni il primo, trenta il secondo) vantano già diversi riconoscimenti internazionali, numerose collaborazioni prestigiose, e un'intensa attività concertistica che solo nell'ultimo anno li ha visti condividere il palco oltre duecento volte (tra le quali le apprezzate esibizioni allo Young ...
Amaro Freitas: Rasif
by Mark Sullivan
Brazilian pianist/composer Amaro Freitas is from the coastal city of Recife in the northeastern state of Pernambuco. His geographic background is important, because he has been heavily influenced by the Afro-Brazilian maracatu (dating from slavery days) and the high intensity carnival rhythms of frevo and baião, as well as the jazz tradition. Most of this album ...
Steve Kuhn Trio: To and From the Heart
by Peter J. Hoetjes
Now an octogenarian, Steve Kuhn's career has in 2018 spanned nearly sixty years, never having a long lull of time without recording new music. It becomes something of a marvel then that after all this time, the pianist still finds something new to say; he is still able to surprise listeners with songs they don't expect ...
Dairo Miyamoto: Last Picture
by Friedrich Kunzmann
Now here is one very special album by an exceptional artist, who created his own unique little ethereal space in this vast musical landscape. Known for having been trumpeter Jun Miyake 's go-to mulit-instrumentalist and close friend, the late Dairo Miyamoto leaves behind an exceptional body of work for the world to discover and tops it ...
Bobby Broom: Soul Fingers
by Jim Trageser
A thematic sequel to his 2007 release, Song and Dance, Bobby Broom's Soul Fingers is a deep-pile take on late 1960s--early 1970s pop, with Broom in his best Wes Montgomery vein, giving new soul-jazz life to one-time chart hits. And yet, it's also a break from Song and Dance because Broom has changed his ...
