Florian Chaigne: Blooming
by Alberto Bazzurro
Registrato a cavallo tra 2015 e 2016 in Bretagna e Vandea, questo tutto sommato singolare album riunisce attorno al batterista Florian Chaigne, attivo da una ventina d'anni nella zona di Nantes, strumentisti di varia matrice e indole, a generare un prodotto il cui pregio e, se vogliamo, limite risiede in una certa eterogeneità. ...
Snaggle: The Long Slog
by Dave Wayne
In the art world, labeling oneself as “the next (fill in the blank)" or “(name of country)'s answer to (fill in the blank)" is a risky ploy that may reap short-term benefits in terms of quickly generating a fan base, but may actually be detrimental in terms of creative sustainability. The : Toronto-based jazz-funk- rock sextet ...
Chip Wickham: La Sombra
by Bruce Lindsay
Twenty-five years into his career as a professional musician, saxophonist and flautist Chip Wickham has released his solo debut. La Sombra, recorded in Madrid with three excellent musicians from that city's jazz scene, is gorgeous. Wickham hails from Manchester, in north-west England.

by Paul Rauch

Francesco Chiapperini's InSight: Paradigm Shift
by Vincenzo Roggero
La schitarrata iniziale è di quelle che agganciano e mettono di buon umore. Robusta, elettrica, dal riff ipnotico. Poi arriva il piano, dapprima leggero, spensierato, in seguito più misterioso fino all'ingresso del clarinetto basso, arcane sonorità che conducono il brano nei meandri di un viaggio tra luce ed oscurità. Dopo “France Mon Amour," questo il titolo ...
Bryan Nichols: Looking North
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il giovane pianista di Minneapolis Bryan Nichols inanella in questo lavoro solitario dieci brani per lo più di sua composizione (fanno eccezione “Lonesome Tremolo Blues" e “Lullaby for Sharks") affidandosi a un periodare corretto quanto scarsamente inventivo, sostanzialmente incapace di dire una qualche parola in grado di attrarre l'ascoltatore al di là di una gradevolezza di ...
Adam Berenson / Scott Barnum: Penumbra
by Karl Ackermann
Not one to be tethered to genres or styles, pianist and composer Adam Berenson has been long at home as a jazz pianist, a classical composer, an electronics player or any permutation of those roles. His previous double-CD Lumen (Dream Play, 2014)--complete with two string quartets--was indeed a far-ranging collection of styles and genres that the ...
