Myriad3: The Where
by Angelo Leonardi
Dopo il notevole debutto di due anni fa con Tell, il piano trio canadese torna con un avventuroso lavoro, che evidenzia personalità in una formula strumentale che sembrava aver espresso ormai tutto, senza lasciare altri margini creativi. Se quell'esordio s'ispirava al trio EST di Esbjörn Svensson ora la ricerca si fa più autonoma, ponendo in essere ...
Joe Harriott Quintet: Abstract/Southern Horizons/Free Form
by Duncan Heining
Swing Low, Sweet Harriott I don't think Joe Harriott's entire catalogue has ever been available at one time. Even in his heyday in the sixties, much of the 1950s material was unavailable. From the seventies onwards, things got really dire. Now that so much is out of copyright, Harriott's work is increasingly being reissued ...
Sun Ra Arkestra: Live in Ulm 1992
by AAJ Staff
Questo concerto dell'Arkestra è stato registrato a Ulm nel 1992, durante l'ultima tournée della band con il suo leader, che -già malato-morirà poi nel maggio dell'anno successivo. Come ben sa chi abbia avuto il piacere di seguire l'orchestra anche dopo la scomparsa di Sun Ra, l'energia non viene comunque mai a mancare, come ...
Kenny Wheeler: Songs for Quintet
by Ian Patterson
In the end, time--as is its wont--caught up with Kenny Wheeler, the much-loved Canadian-born trumpeter/flugelhornist and composer who made England his home for over sixty years. Happily, he was able to hear the results of the two-day Abbey Road sessions that produced, Songs for Quintet before he passed away last September 18. These Wheeler originals reveal ...

The intrepid composer and trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith's creative energy continues unabated after a career spanning over four decades. His artistry has crystalized and matured without losing its progressive edge and The Great Lakes Suites is the fruit of this sophisticated ingenuity. For these six imaginative pieces, inspired by the bodies of water of ...
De Beren Gieren & Susana Santos Silva: The Detour Fish - Live In Ljubljana
by Glenn Astarita
Youthful concepts and treatments are highlighted on this live set, where the award-winning Belgian piano trio De Beren Gieren invites burgeoning Portuguese trumpeter, improviser Susana Santos Silva to join the band for this largely captivating performance at the Ljubljana Jazz Festival in Slovenia. The musicians' collective synergy becomes apparent rather quickly. Their inventive faculties are propagated ...
Red Garland Trio: Swingin' on the Korner
by Stefano Merighi
Il fiuto di Red Garland, a suo tempo, suggerì a Miles Davis di ingaggiare prima Philly Joe Jones e poi John Coltrane, per formare un simpatico quintetto. Solo per queste intuizioni Garland andrebbe posto su un piedistallo nel mondo del jazz. Ma William Red era anche un gran pianista, realizzatore di una sintesi mirabile tra l'eredità ...
New Jazz Orchestra: Camden '70
by Duncan Heining
Colosseum toured with theNew Jazz Orchestra in 1970 but this is the first time that any records of that tour have surfaced. Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith and Tony Reeves featured in both bands. The New Jazz Orchestra recorded so little, that anything new is welcome. That it should be this good is an embarrassment of riches. ...
