Guillermo Klein: Los Guachos V
by Budd Kopman
If a creator has a vision, being persistent in working to bring it to life is a requirement. This is true in life, for visions big and small, and not just for artists. Pianist, composer and band leader Guillermo Klein most definitely fits that bill. His group, Los Guachos (literally, The Bastards) has been ...
Dave Liebman Group: Expansions - The Puzzle
by Neri Pollastri
Registrato nella primavera del 2015, The Puzzle documenta il lavoro dell'attuale gruppo di Dave Liebman, Expansions, composto da uno storico collaboratore del sassofonista, il bassista Tony Marino, e da giovani musicisti che--con l'eccezione del batterista -contribuiscono tutti alle composizioni. Quattro di queste sono infatti di Liebman, due dell'ancista Matt Vashlishan, due di Marino e ...
Uwe Oberg, Frank Paul Schubert, Wilbert de Joode, Mark Sanders: Rope
by Alberto Bazzurro
Si è soliti definire l'improvvisazione senza rete, nelle sue manifestazioni più alte, come composizione istantanea, in tempo reale. Non è sempre così: ciò accade infatti quando chi abbraccia tale insidiosa pratica, intanto non dimentica mai questo assunto, cioè che trattasi di pratica insidiosa, da condurre con attenzione certosina e costante ascolto reciproco (salvo che l'improvvisatore non ...
Clarice & Sergio Assad: Reliquia
by Dan Bilawsky
Past and present are entwined in so many beautiful ways on Reliquia--the first collaboration between the father-daughter combination of guitarist Sergio Assad and vocalist Clarice Assad. Together these two trace a backwards course from today's vantage point, exploring their own musical bloodlines and those of their native Brazil. In doing so, they bring together a collection ...
Lou Caputo Not So Big Band: Uh Oh!
by Jack Bowers
Uh Oh! is the third recording by multi-instrumentalist Lou Caputo's Not So Big Band, which has been performing in New York City for more than a decade. The band's name epitomizes its relatively spare front line: two trumpets, three saxophones, trombone and tuba. There is, on the other hand, nothing spare about the band's ability to ...
Zach Larmer Electric Band: Inner Circle
by Geannine Reid
On Miami-based American composer/guitarist Zach Larmer's debut album entitled Inner Circle, he emphasizes his instrumental virtuosity and compositional finesse. Not only does he compose five of the seven tracks, Bassist Juan Pablo Diaz pens “Friedrichshain" and one standard completes the set. Larmer certainly establishes himself as a force to reckoned with in the modern jazz guitar ...
Marcello Pellitteri: Acceptance
by Jim Olin
A heavy air of melancholy hangs over award-winning drummer/composer Marcello Pellitteri's new album Acceptance. There is a serious reason for this, a tragic one, in fact. The record is dedicated to Pellitteri's daughter Veronica, who died at a young age nearly two years ago. The pain of loss can be keenly felt on several tracks on ...
Federico Marchesano: The Inner Bass
by Neri Pollastri
Secondo disco dell'etichetta Solitunes, dedicata a dischi in solo, questo The Inner Bass vede di scena Federico Marchesano, contrabbassista eclettico dalla formazione classica, dalla frequentazione del metal e del cantautorato, dalla solida pratica del jazz più libero e creativo. Le dodici tracce mostrano questa versatilità, passando da atmosfere pienamente acustiche -"Afrobass" e “Mincanto," esplicite ...
Gordon Beeferman: Four Parts Five
by Alberto Bazzurro
Disco assolutamente futile, persino fastidioso, nel suo incessante, inesorabile, impietoso rimuginare attorno a pochi patterns che vengono ripetuti per qualche decina di secondi (o più) ciascuno, per passare poi al successivo, e così via. Questo, lungo i quattro brani che compongono l'album (appena mezzoretta di musica, ma che fatica arrivare ciò nonostante alla fine!), senza soluzioni ...
Mark Solborg / Herb Robertson: Tuesday Prayers
by Jakob Baekgaard
Nothing will come out of nothing, but maybe, if two musical friends meet in a sacred place, notes will start to sing. In the beginning, everything is just a sketch, a preparation for actual composition. The ancient flute whispers and a steel string guitar maps the railroads of faraway places. ...
