Yelena Eckemoff Quartet: Leaving Everything Behind
by Dave Wayne
With all of the worldwide hue and cry concerning immigration, precious little is said about the lives of immigrants themselves, the sacrifices they've made and the risks they've taken in order to start their lives anew; free of whatever hardships and oppression they endured in their native country. In the news, entire lives are boiled down ...
Amir Seibert: Alpha Centauri
by Mark F. Turner
This music expedition to the closest star system to our sun comes by way of Tel Aviv composer Amir Seibert in Alpha Centauri. It's a continuation of 2014's The Interstellar Suite EP featuring a galaxy expanding theme with a striking arrangement of strings and voice. This time around the five track EP focuses ...
Alan Ferber: Roots & Transitions
by Budd Kopman
The first thing that ought to be said about trombonist/composer/bandleader Alan Ferber's latest recording, Roots & Transitions, for his long-standing nonet is that the music holds up very well regardless of whether one knows the circumstances that surrounded its creation. However, this release marks an important milestone in Ferber's life--the birth of his first ...
Cisilino, Orefice, Vignato, Magatelli, Mansutti: Malkuth
by Neri Pollastri
Formato da eccellenti nuove leve del Nordest ormai già messesi individualmente in luce in varie formazioni, questo quintetto sviluppa in modo originale, scoppiettante e coinvolgente la lezione ornettiana. Malkuth è il primo CD del gruppo ed esce dopo che era stato possibile ascoltarne la musica dal vivo, nel corso della scorsa edizione di Udin&Jazz (clicca qui ...
Tino Tracanna Acrobats: Red Basics
by Angelo Leonardi
Ha esordito qualche anno fa con Acrobats (Abeat, 2012) il nuovo quintetto di Tino Tracanna, un artista sempre alla ricerca di nuove sfide, che oggi presenta il secondo capitolo, registrato all'Auditorium Parco della Musica di Roma il 26 e 27 gennaio 2015. Il titolo del disco è Red Basics e con il sassofonista ritroviamo ...
Betty Davis: Columbia Years 1968-1969
by Nenad Georgievski
The vaults of major labels such as Columbia and many others hold many secret and yet to be revealed gems. First of all, check out singer-songwriter Bob Dylan's archival Bootleg output series or trumpet legend Miles Davis archival box set reissues. This isn't just scraping the bottom of a barrel and coming out with alternate takes ...
Erik Friedlander: Rings
by Jakob Baekgaard
Repetition is sometimes seen as a bad thing. The mundane cycle of everyday life involving the same actions. However, it is only through repetition that differences can occur. A weekend is only special because it stands out as a difference from the ordinary week. But repetition is not only useful as a way of appreciating difference, ...
New Standard Jazz Orchestra: Waltz About Nothing
by Jack Bowers
Any orchestra that professes to establish a new standard had better be able to back that up. Happily for the listener, on its debut recording, Waltz About Nothing, Chicago's New Standard Jazz Orchestra can--and does. In a little more than two years, the NSJO has arisen as a worthy successor to one of the more exemplary ...
Mike Dillon: Functioning Broke
by Doug Collette
As idiosyncratic as Mike Dillon's work has been with Critters Buggin' and Garage a Trois, it's well-nigh impossible not to fall under the spell of the music he creates all by himself on Functioning Broke. A deep dream-like quality emanates from his musicianship, most resonant in the warm glow of vibes that open “Half Right" and ...
Eggs Over Easy: Good 'n' Cheap: The Eggs Over Easy Story
by Doug Collette
Because the pub-rock moment of the Seventies was essentially relegated to the British Isles and had no corollary in America, it remains a one-line footnote in the chronicles of contemporary rock. Yet as with so many (self-)limited niches of style, its proponents are as fervently devoted as its practitioners like Ducks Deluxe, Brinsley Schwarz and Dr. ...
