Roberto Bonati, Diana Torto: Heureux Comme Avec Une Femme
by Neri Pollastri
Esempio di quanto il jazz, oggi, sia uno spazio ampio, Heureux comme avec une femme vede all'opera Roberto Bonati e Diana Torto, certo due musicisti un po' atipici e lontani da ogni mainstream, ma che sono ben radicati dentro l'universo del jazz. Anche se prodotto dalla sezione jazz di Parmafrontiere, il CD è palesemente più prossimo ...

Soft Machine: Switzerland 1974
by Glenn Astarita
Much has been written about this vastly influential and time-honored jazz fusion unit that skirted the avant-garde spectrum, especially when saxophone great Elton Dean was in the band, in addition to its psychedelic persuasions during the 60s. This 1974 live concert in Switzerland, features soon-to-be guitar god Allan Holdsworth's entry into the band's lineup. At this ...
Marta Sanchez Quintet: Partenika
by Dan Bilawsky
A marriage of moody yet calming piano seesaws, cymbal swells, and arco bass serves as the entry portal into pianist Marta Sanchez's Partenika. The feelings that come over the mind and body while taking in those overlaid ingredients during the opening of “Opening" must be like what Dorothy felt when she awoke in Oz or what ...

Now in his early 50s, Gomez decided the time was right to enter a studio again, the result ...

Daniel - Galichet - Metzger: Killing Spree
by Glenn Astarita
Saxophonist Matthieu Metzger extends his multi-tracked applications and concepts, evidenced on Self Cooking (Ayler, 2012) with this aggressive trio format, steeped in punk jazz, free jazz, metal jazz and progressive rock. Hold on to your seats as they say because these folks will knock your socks off with a consortium of high-velocity, in-your-face metrics and astute ...
