Assaf Kehati Trio: Naked
by Hrayr Attarian
Guitarist Assaf Kehati's Naked is, as the title insinuates, an adornment free celebration of melody in a spare and intimate setting. Unlike his two earlier recordings Naked features Kehati without a saxophonist and with a new rhythm duo on an introspective set of his expressive originals and three standards.On the cinematic “The Horses' Fight" ...
De Beren Gieren & Susana Santos Silva: The Detour Fish - Live in Ljubljana

Discretamente informale, piacevolmente naive, dosi di humor disperso qua e là, freschezza di idee, entusiasmo giovanile, orecchio allenato, sguardo acuto. Si presenta così The Detour Fish -Live in Ljubljana terza fatica discografica del giovane trio belga De Beren Gieren qui arricchito dalla presenza dell'affermata trombettista portoghese Susana Santos Silva. L'improvvisazione minimale, struttura portante ...

Henry Kaiser and Ray Russell: The Celestial Squid
by Roger Farbey
Jazz fusion guitarist Ray Russell and polystylistic experimentalist Henry Kaiser have never previously recorded together. Kaiser's recorded output is prodigious whereas Russell's is more modest. His debut album Turn Circle(1968) was swiftly followed by a clutch of critically acclaimed but more challenging ones such as Dragon Hill (1969) and Secret Asylum (1973) prior to Russell changing ...
Rick Waldron: Africa
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
Even before a single note of Africa hits the air, the long list of instruments played by leader/composer Rick Waldron suggests that something unusual is afoot. For his fourth CD Waldron, who has chaired the music department at Everett Community College since 1990, has created a lively and intricate session that defies easy description.
YK Samarinda: Jazz for Borneo
by Ian Patterson
Ethnic fusion jazz is a term that has gained currency in Indonesia in recent years and is typically applied to bands who incorporate elements of Indonesian folk music--melodies and/or instrumentation--into a jazz-fusion aesthetic. The four-piece YK Samarinda from East Kalimantan, Borneo, falls into this broad category; its use of the sapeh (or sampeh)--a traditional lute originally ...
Ben Wolfe: The Whisperer
by David A. Orthmann
While swimming in the rather large body of sounds that comprise the jazz mainstream, Ben Wolfe's The Whisperer evinces no obvious stylistic points of reference or influence, possesses unusual depth, and adds up to something larger and more significant than a composite of impressive individual performances. Wolfe's compositions--eleven out of the disc's twelve tracks--comprise the record's ...
Dario Congedo & Nàdan: Calligrafie
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il giovane percussionista salentino Dario Congedo è l'autore di tutti i brani presenti in questo album dal packaging quanto mai desueto, come del resto tutti quelli prodotti dall'etichetta leccese Desuonatori. Vi trova posto una musica a sua volta assai particolare, di referente jazzistico ma non solo, contrassegnata da un descrittivismo tutto sommato abbastanza atipico, strutturalmente molto ...
Samuel Huguenin Symbolic Quartet: L'Exile des Nymphes
by Luigi Sforza
Un piacevole e significativo numero di idee musicali--ben argomentate--sono presenti in L'Exile des Nymphes, album del giovane sassofonista svizzero Samuel Huguenin, che a capo di un pregevole quartetto esplora antiche danze musicali ("Estampie"); mescola essenze melodiche balcaniche con arabesche cadenze musicali ("Mescaline"); si esprime con inflessioni che lasciano immaginare gli strumenti ad ancia dell'Epiro ("Sikkim," ballad ...
