Trio (Mit)Marlene: The Surface of an Object
by Vincenzo Roggero
"La superficie di un oggetto" è, nella sua apparente ovvietà, il primo contatto con l'oggetto stesso, sia dal punto di vista visivo che tattile. Ed è anche il primo passo di un viaggio che sensi solerti e curiosi possono intraprendere verso la scoperta della realtà nascosta. Giacomo Merega, Michael Attias e Satoshi Takeishi sanno bene come ...
Matthias Tschopp Quartet: Plays Mirò
by Luigi Sforza
La storia della musica annovera un discreto numero di esempi di compositori che si sono ispirati a opere pittoriche per tradurre in suoni le suggestioni evocate da quadri e disegni più o meno celebri. Quadri di un'esposizione di Modest Mussorgsky è la suite sicuramente la più famosa. Anche il mondo del jazz contemporaneo europeo ha in ...
Chris McNulty: Eternal
by Dan Bilawsky
Eternal is a work of love and loss, a celebration of life, and a poignant piece of artistic expression. Vocalist Chris McNulty crafted this album as a tribute to her son, Sam, who passed away in 2011. This album took shape in the days following Hurricane Sandy in 2012, as McNulty, with no ...
Majamisty TriO: Love
by Hrayr Attarian
Serbian pianist and composer Maja Alvanovic's second release with her Majamisty TriO Love is a collection of ethereal dreamscapes that crackle with lively spontaneity. The dominant and unifying theme of the album is a sort of nostalgic impressionism with fluid, hazy sonic images filtered through the lens of memory and time. The redolent “Rain ...
Charles McPherson: The Journey
by Edward Blanco
One of the original bebop artists of our time, alto saxophonist Charles McPherson adds to his legacy and marches through a selection of timely bop-infused material on The Journey, demonstrating his mastery of the idiom by transforming jazz classics into fresh-sounding bop tunes with a blend of originals rolled into one exciting package. Long associated with ...
Oliver Lake - William Parker: To Roy
by Glenn Astarita
To Roy is dedicated to the late trumpeter Roy Campbell Jr., who had risen among the ranks as a first-call session artist amid a fruitful career as a leader. He was an astute and powerful improviser who succumbed to cardiovascular disease on January 9, 2014. And this album signifies the first collaboration between ultra-modern jazz giants, ...
Ernie Watts: A Simple Truth
by Angelo Leonardi
In una carriera professionale di quasi mezzo secolo (iniziò nella metà degli anni sessanta con Buddy Rich) gran parte del lavoro di Ernie Watts è stato svolto negli studi di registrazione partecipando a centinaia d'incisioni (anche di Marvin Gaye, Frank Zappa, Chaka Khan, Barbra Streisand etc...). Le sue credenziali jazz si sono sviluppate nei ranghi delle ...
Valerio Daniele, Giorgio Distante, Roberta Mazzotta, Vito De Lorenzi: Teatrini di Escher
by Alberto Bazzurro
È il chitarrista salentino Valerio Daniele (che en passant ricordiamo accanto al violoncellista Redi Hasa in un bell'album della Slam a nome Rêverie Duo) l'anima del quartetto protagonista di questo lavoro, interessante e desueto, inciso nel dicembre 2013: sue tutte le composizioni, sua la produzione artistica, ed evidentemente la linea estetica. La scrittura ...
Nate Radley: Morphoses
by Ian Patterson
It took Nate Radley a while to graduate from sideman/band member to leader, but The Big Eyes (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2012) was an impressive debut that called for a quick follow-up. Happily, Radley seems to be on a roll. Carillon (Steeplechase, 2013) pitted Radley alongside Ted Poor, Chris Cheek and Matt Clohesy on an eclectic ...
Buddy Tate: Texas Tenor
by Hrayr Attarian
Saxophonist George “Buddy" Tate came to prominence in the 1930s with his hard swinging style and robust and resilient tone. His sound mellowed and matured like a fine spirit throughout a long and busy career but his approach did not veer far from his original fashion of playing, dubbed Texas Tenor. The 1978 Sackville record is ...
