Nicole Mitchell/Tomeka Reid/Mike Reed: Artifacts
by Hrayr Attarian
Flutist Nicole Mitchell, cellist Tomeka Reid and drummer Mike Reed are three of the most prominent members of the third generation of Association for Advancement of Creative Music (AACM). Each one is a consummate musician; equally adept at composing and improvising. Each one of them has forged their boldly unique artistic path with an instantly recognizable ...
Ochion Jewell Quartet: Volk
by Budd Kopman
From the opening notes of its introductory overture, “At the End of the World, Where the Lion Weep" which leads to the improvisatory “Pathos/Logos," Volk feels like an important record with a seriousness of intent, precision of execution combined with emotional depth and breadth. A vast sound scape is opened into which we peer, quickly followed ...
Mose Allison: Mose Allison: American Legend in California
by C. Michael Bailey
Tippo, Mississippi is about as far from Charleston as it is Tutwiler, the two county seats of Tallahatchie County, located on the northeastern edge of the alluvial Delta plain, before the land turns to rolling hills. There lives in Tippo, an Allison family, who thirty years ago were patients of mine when I was practicing pharmacy ...
Massimo Urbani: Live in Chieti 1979
by Maurizio Zerbo
Ci sono dischi capaci di restituire tutta la forza ammaliante del jazz e la sua misteriosa energia fatta di swing, comunicativa, capacità di trasmettere profonde emozioni racchiuse nell'attimo fuggente di appassionanti giochi solistici. A questa schiera di pubblicazioni appartiene senza dubbio Live in Chieti 1979, risalente alla fase iniziale della carriera artistica di Massimo Urbani.
Marta Sanchez Quintet: Partenika
by Vincenzo Roggero
Marta Sanchez è una giovane pianista dalla formazione accademica che ha successivamente trovato nella scena creativa newyorchese terreno fertile per la propria vena artistica. Numerose e assai diversificate le situazioni che la vedono coinvolta, dal piano trio al quartetto con voce e a quello con sassofono, fino alla dimensione orchestrale. In Partinika debutta con un quintetto ...
John Wojciechowski: Focus
by Dan Bilawsky
Every now and then you encounter a musician who has it together in so many ways, yet has largely managed to avoid national recognition. Saxophonist John Wojciechowski is one such player. While those with strong enough memories might recall that the Michigan-bred Wojciechowski took third place--behind Jon Gordon and Jimmy Greene--at the 1996 ...
Timme Rosenkrantz: Timme's Treasures
by Chris Mosey
Danish nobleman Niels Otte Timme Baron Rosenkrantz could trace his ancestry way back to the Anglicized Rosencrantz in Shakespeare's Hamlet. He became a journalist and was the first European to report on the jazz scene in Harlem, writing for Scandinavian publications and for Downbeat, Metronome and Esquire in the United States and Melody ...
Vlad West: In My Corner
by Budd Kopman
Everyone evolves as life proceeds, and musicians are no exception. However, In My Corner, recorded in 2011, almost twenty years after Say Hello To Russia, is so different from the latter as to give one pause. Vlad West is back on the keyboard, which was his first instrument, and it sounds electronic, but those ...
Austin Piazzolla Quintet: APQ
by C. Michael Bailey
Bandoneon player and tango composer Ástor Pantaleón Piazzolla (1921- 1992) is to Argentina what guitarist and bossa nova composer Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim (1927-1994) is to Brazil. Both men essentially defined a style of music unique to their regions, styles of music immediately identifiable and iconic. Each comes into and out of vogue periodically, ...
The Milo Fine Free Jazz Ensemble featuring Steve Gnitka: Earlier Outbreaks of Iconoclasm
by Alberto Bazzurro
Veterano del radicalismo improvvisativo britannico (fra i musicisti incrociati spicca il nome di Derek Bailey), trapiantato fin dagli anni Settanta a Minneapolis, Milo Fine è una figura periferica quanto preziosa, ellittica, con cui quest'assolutamente meritoria riesumazione ci consente di venire in contatto. Batterista dal 1961, quindi anche pianista e più tardi clarinettista, Fine è noto (si ...
