Hailu Mergia: Wede Harer Guzo

Hans Olding & Sigurdur Flosason: Projeto Brasil!
by Budd Kopman
Projeto Brasil!, from saxophonist/flutist Sigurdur Flosason and guitarist Hans Olding, when compared to the authentic and stunningly beautiful Porto da Madama, seems rather tame. But, one cannot fault a project for not being what it cannot be, and never tried to be. What Flosason and Olding have created is a tribute to the music ...
Fred Frith / Darren Johnston: Everybody's Somebody's Nobody
by John Sharpe
Here's a West Coast entrant to the slim body of guitar/trumpet duets from iconoclastic strummer Fred Frith and trumpeter Darren Johnston. It collects 11 short cuts from two studio sessions into a three-quarter hour program. They're not averse to co-opting rhythms (Frith) or melodic figures (Johnston), meaning that what we have here can be termed the ...
Eduardo Elia: Solo
by Dan McClenaghan
Argentinian pianist Eduardo Elia, based now in his homeland, attended Berkelee College of Music in Boston. He has a handful of CD releases as a leader, and beyond that, information on the artist is hard to find. His internet profile is sketchy. So the review is all about the music, and maybe that's how ...

Seattle-based composer/trombonist Naomi Moon Siegel, is a member of Wayne Horvitz's Royal Room Collective Music Ensemble and has performed with fellow trombonists Julian Priester and Wycliffe Gordon, among others, while maintaining a steady presence in the Northwest music scene.

Doug Mosher / John Estes: Southern Lights
by Budd Kopman
It is almost certain that many readers of these pages have at one time or another been faced with a recording that you just did not like or could not get into. Now, life is short, and there is no dishonor in moving on to other things. However, perhaps this work was recommended or it had ...
Thomas Borgmann Trio: One For Cisco
by John Sharpe
This limited edition LP documents a collectively birthed exploration spread across the two sides by the visiting German pair of reedman Thomas Borgmann and long time associate drummer Willi Kellers, who team up with NYC bassist Max Johnson. The concert took place as part of the New York Tenor Saxophone Festival at Ibeam in 2015 organized ...
Steve Kuhn: At This Time…
by Maurizio Zerbo
L'arte pianistica diSteve Kuhn richiederebbe maggiori attenzioni da critica e pubblico, sia per la maestria tecnica, che per l'originalità e la coerenza progettuale. Lo dimostra la più recente produzione discografica con il suo trio, che torna in sala di registrazione dopo il CD per l'ECM del 2012. Per tradurre in emozioni il proprio ampio bagaglio espressivo, ...

Registrato dal vivo al Teatro di Gütersloh il 29 agosto del 2015, questo disco fa parte della prestigiosa serie “European Jazz Legends" della Intuition, che giustamente sceglie un artista come Enrico Pieranunzi per il suo terzo capitolo.
