Hobby Horse: Rocketdine
by Neri Pollastri
Tornano su disco gli Hobby Horse dopo aver incantato dal vivo nelle cospicue occasioni che hanno avuto per esibirsi (clicca qui per leggere la recensione di un loro concerto a Firenze), a dispetto della loro musica inquieta e inetichettabile. E tornano alla grande, con un lavoro come sempre potente e multiforme, coerente e scoppiettante, rigoroso e ...
Fred Hersch Trio: Sunday Night at the Vanguard
by Angelo Leonardi
"Questo è di gran lunga l'album migliore che ho realizzato in trio--dice Fred Hersch -e rappresenta al meglio il nostro modo di suonare." Ogni musicista tende a pensare allo stesso modo e la frase ci lascia perplessi perchè non è facile superare album strepitosi come Floating (Palmetto, 2014) realizzato in studio e Alive at ...
Vinnie Zummo: The Coyote
by Mark Sullivan
Guitarist Vinnie Zummo is best known for his long association with singer/songwriter Joe Jackson. He appeared on every Jackson album from Body and Soul (A&M, 1984) through Blaze of Glory (A&M, 1989), returning for The Duke (Razor & Tie Recordings, 2012). The Coyote is mostly original compositions (several of them new arrangements of tunes from earlier ...
Shirley Horn: Shirley Horn Live at the 4 Queens
by C. Michael Bailey
“Horn did ballads and cool, understated ruminations better than anyone except her first champion, mentor and lifelong friend, trumpeter Miles Davis. Both were masters of silence and anticipation, but even Davis teased Horn about her pacing. 'You do 'em awful slow!' he once said.'" Richard Harrington, Washington Post. The incandescence that was ...
Various Artists: Celestial Blues: Cosmic, Political and Spiritual Jazz 1970 to 1974
by Jakob Baekgaard
When saxophonist and composer, Kamasi Washington, released his tripple album, The Epic in 2015, it was celebrated widely, not only in the spheres of jazz, but also in rock magazines. Washington was clearly on to something, forging a new spiritual sound that married world music, orchestral funk and free jazz. However, new sounds ...
The Reykjavik Big Band: Innri
by Jack Bowers
Speaking of cool jazz . . . It doesn't get much cooler than Iceland, where the remarkably talented Reyjkavik Big Band makes its home. According to the most recent available evidence, Innri is either the fifth or sixth album recorded by the RBB, which was formed in 1992 and is composed of professional ...
Trygve Seim: Rumi Songs
by Mark Sullivan
Norwegian saxophonist Trygve Seim may lack the marquee status of countryman (and fellow ECM artist) Jan Garbarek. But he is no less adventurous, and has recently been popping up all over on 2016 ECM releases: on Mats Eilertsen's Rubicon; with Sinikka Langeland and the Trio Medieval on The Magical Forest; with Iro Haarla and symphony orchestra ...
John McLaughlin, Al DiMeola, Paco DeLucia: Friday Night in San Francisco
by Sacha O'Grady
On 5th December, 1980, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco De Lucia were two months into what had so far been an extremely successful and creative tour. Even just the concept itself was intriguing--three guitarists, and acoustic to boot! With not a drummer, percussionist, or bassist in sight. The sheer novelty of it all. Recorded ...
Daniela Schachter: Vanheusenism: A Tribute To Jimmy Van Heusen
by Dan Bilawsky
Anybody who's ever adoringly listened to a large number of Frank Sinatra's hits or Bing Crosby's classics is a fan of Jimmy Van Heusen's work, even if they're not familiar with his name. Van Heusen, working alone or with top notch lyricists like Sammy Cahn or Johnny Burke, penned some of the greatest songs of the ...
