Six-In-One: Subjects and Structures
by Neri Pollastri
Registrazione dal vivo realizzata il 15 agosto 2015, questo album prende spunto da un'esposizione di rilievi e sculture dal medesimo titolo, opera di Andrew Coates e di Walt Shaw (che compare anche alle percussioni), presso la Artsmith Gallery di Derby, ove si è svolta anche la performance. Consta di due lunghe tracce, oltre mezz'ora l'una, e ...
Insufficient Funs: Insufficient Funs
by Ian Patterson
An original name, if not quite such an original concept. Saxophone and drum duets used to be as rare as the proverbial hen's teeth, with John Coltrane and Rashied Ali's 1960s collaboration always the benchmark. In recent years, however, this striking duo combination has seen something of a boom. Charles Lloyd and Billy Higgins; Dave Rempis ...
Evan Parker / Mark Nauseef / Toma Gouband: As The Wind
by John Eyles
Evan Parker's Psi label was once a flourishing concern, releasing up to ten albums a year in its peak years between 2004 and 2011, but activity has tailed off recently. After releasing five albums in 2012, neither 2013 nor 2014 brought anything, leading to fears that no more would be heard from Psi. Thankfully, since then ...
Miguel Zenon: Tipico
by James Nadal
The vintage cover photograph on Tipico, of Puerto Rican musicians, might lead one to believe that this is a continuance of alto saxophonist Miguel Zenón's jazz adaptations revolving around his heritage and homeland. But this is not the case. On this release, he hones in on his bandmates, and the music is centered on what each ...
MoFrancesco Quintetto: Kucheza
by Chris Mosey
This album features a new, jazz version of the oldest song in the world. “The Seikilos Epitaph," probably from 200BC, was found engraved on a tombstone, or stele near the ancient Greek city of Ephesus in what is now Turkey. It was signed by someone called Seikilos and dedicated to Euterpe, most likely ...
Mick Rossi: 160
by Vincenzo Roggero
Nato come commento musicale al documentario “Albi's Oboe" di Matt Dine, 160 (è la frequenza utilizzata nella registrazione del disco) -come talvolta accade in casi del genere, si svincola dalla sua funzione originale per trasformarsi in opera che vive di vita propria, autonoma e originale. Mick Rossi suona, oltre agli usuali pianoforte e batteria, una serie ...
Baldo Martinez Grupo: Vientos cruzados
by Alberto Bazzurro
Baldo Martinez, cinquantasette anni, galiziano, è da tempo uno dei più interessanti bassisti-leader attivi nel vecchio continente: dirige sempre gruppi con una precisa identità, portandoli spesso e volentieri in sala d'incisione. Questo suo ultimo lavoro, registrato a Madrid nel maggio 2016, non fa che confermare tale assunto. L'ha realizzato un quartetto senza pianoforte, ...
James Brandon Lewis Trio: No Filter
by Mark F. Turner
James Brandon Lewis's authoritative horn is demonstrated in his cultural influenced releases --gospel spirituality in Divine Travels (Okeh, 2014) featuring bassist William Parker and drummer Gerald Cleaver; soulful lyricism and hip hop in Days of Freeman (Okeh, 2015) with heavies bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma and drummer Rudy Royston. He continues that exploration with a new trio in ...
Noah Preminger: Meditations on Freedom
by Karl Ackermann
Open and civil discourse has always been a tenant of democracy. Recent political events in the U.S. have reduced that discourse to a crude, gutter-level low that has left an alienated population in its wake, marginalized and left without a strong voice. From the time of the Civil War, protest music has provided counsel for vulnerable ...
Three Sounds: Groovin’ Hard - Live at the Penthouse 1964 - 1968
by C. Michael Bailey
Pianist Gene Harris was a durable jazz force from the beginning of his career as leader of the soul-jazz trio, The Three Sounds in the mid-1950s until his death in 2000. He described himself as “a blues pianist with chops" and that is as good a description as can be had. He had a piano style ...
