Dave Liebman Group: Expansions Live
by Alberto Bazzurro
Registrato dal vivo (a Seattle, Pittsburgh e Duluth) fra l'ottobre 2014 e l'ottobre 2015, questo doppio album ci offre un'istantanea attuale di Dave Liebman e del gruppo che ne supporta i più recenti appetiti creativi. La singolarità è che il quintetto che ha realizzato l'opera si sdoppia su due profili: acustico (primo CD) ed elettrico (secondo ...
Michaël Attias: Nerve Dance
by Dan Bilawsky
Methodical design, rough-and-tumble play, and thoughtful exchange are often viewed as mutually exclusive concepts in jazz. Saxophonist Michaël Attias' Nerve Dance, however, obliterates that line of thinking and any potential obstacles that could separate those realms. This is a work that's cultured, contumacious, and conversational in nature. It's principled art unbound. Nerve Dance ...
David Wright: Morph
by Tyran Grillo
Anyone craving that warm roundedness of 1980s-era Pat Metheny will feel right at home stepping to the wheelhouse of guitarist David Wright, whose Phonograph Team Project has knocked one out right out of the park with Morph. And yet, as the apt title of this second album from Wright's simpatico quartet implies, the Metheny element is ...
Davy Mooney: Hope Of Home
by Budd Kopman
For many, if not most musicians, much time is spent on the road performing, with one's “home town" many times just a short stop on the endless tour. It is hard enough to maintain a steady relationship, much less than that with a spouse and possibly family for the “normal" person, than someone who must travel ...
Diane Peters, Andrea Ponzoni: CafeAmaro
by Angelo Leonardi
I termini con cui usiamo definire le forme musicali sono sempre meno efficaci quando entriamo in quei territori di confine dove convivono nu-jazz, ambient, lounge, elettronica e strumentazione acustica. Il compito è ancor più difficile quando in un disco come questo ogni traccia si presenta con una propria identità, offrendo un mix cangiante e fantasioso.
Myles Wright: Manhattan EP
by Troy Dostert
For evidence that the big-band tradition is alive and well, look no further than this release from composer and arranger Myles Wright. His second self-produced recording after 2015's LA EP, he's shifted his focus to the other coast this time, and with a top-flight crew of New York musicians to perform four ambitious, infectious charts, it's ...
Rick Hirsch's Big Ol' Band: Pocono Git-Down
by Edward Blanco
A native of State College, PA and long-time fixture in the small cities, college towns and regional area jazz scene, saxophonist and educator Rick Hirsch sought to promote and celebrate this overlooked part of the musical community by drawing out twenty of his favorite small-town musician-friends and record in the Pocono Mountains. The result, the audacious ...
Trio Mediaeval & Arve Henriksen: Rímur
by Henning Bolte
Rímur is a collection of seventeen chants, hymns, folk songs and improvisations based on ancient Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish sources, brought into our contemporary way of sensing by singer/violinist Anna Maria Friman, singers Linn Andrea Fuglseth and Berit Opheim, and eminent trumpeter Arve Henriksen. The music of this album is a clear example of ...
Stephan Crump: Stephan Crump's Rhombal
by Stefano Merighi
Il nome di Stephan Crump viene in genere associato al jazz della scena recente, specie per la sua militanza nel trio del pianista Vijay Iyer. In realtà il bassista di Memphis vive a Brooklyn da oltre vent'anni e può vantare il curriculum di un veterano. Ha firmato da leader una decina di dischi, ha studiato ad ...
Yuri Storione: Schönbrunn
by Tyran Grillo
When the title track of Schönbrunn, Basel-based pianist Yuri Storione's leader debut, awakens the ears, it's clear that a forest of future talent has already sprouted a few robust trees. One of three originals peppered throughout the set, it opens the album in repose, treading softly yet surely, and with a depth of calculation rarely seen ...
