Joana Espadinha: Avesso
by Chris Mosey
Avesso is Portuguese for “inside out." It is also used unkindly to imply that someone is a mess. Singer/songwriter Joana Espadinha sees it differently. “For me avesso is vulnerability and truth. I see it as the moment after a storm or a war when everything is clear and you can find peace." She ...
The Whammies: Play the Music of Steve Lacy Vol. 3 Live
by Alberto Bazzurro
Snocciolando un mazzetto di temi (ciascuno con la sua brava dedica) certo non fra i più trafficati del repertorio di Steve Lacy, alla cui musica si vanno dedicando da alcuni anni con ammirevole applicazione e felicità ispirativa, The Whammies confezionano un'altra piccola (o grande?) gemma, stavolta con la particolarità della dimensione live (nello specifico nel marzo ...
Sharel Cassity: Manhattan Romance
by Tom Pierce
Since she relocated to New York City in 1999, the steadily building career of this Oklahoma native includes a Bachelor's from the New School and a Master's at Juilliard.

The Matthew Yeakley Group: Clean Numbers & Dirty Words
by Paul Naser
The electric guitar has a history of players with fierce energy, and L.A. based guitarist Matthew Yeakley fits right into this tradition. Having studied with jazz guitar legends Scott Henderson and Jimmy Wyble, Yeakley has a refreshing blend of modern influence and tradition; he also cut his teeth performing in blues clubs in his native San ...
Maurizio Brunod: Duets
by Mario Calvitti
La formula del duo è da sempre una delle più stimolanti per i musicisti che sappiano ascoltare e interagire col partner. Ne sa qualcosa il chitarrista Maurizio Brunod, che tra i suoi numerosi progetti annovera spesso il dialogo a due voci; ma mentre in passato la collaborazione era principalmente tra chitarristi, come documentato dai suoi lavori ...
Johnny Griffith: Dance With The Lady
by Dan Bilawsky
Can jazz stay the inventive course while remaining true to its swinging precedents and historical framework(s)? This record makes the argument that it can. Toronto-based saxophonist Johnny Griffith has put together a program of original music that's firmly grounded in tradition, yet his approaches aren't rigidly dogmatic in nature; in other words, this ...
Jazzedelics: Jazzedelics
by James Nadal
For those drifting in the counter culture currents of the 1960's, nothing is more definitive and enduring than the music. It has withstood the test of time and even gone mainstream to the point where it has gained respectability amongst cross genre musicians, who recognize the period as one of innovation and experimentation. So here is ...
Chris Lomheim: Timeline
by Edward Blanco
Minnesota pianist Chris Lomheim in 2013 began applying for grants for the funding of a new project when he realized that 2014 would mark the twentieth anniversary of his very first trio CD And You've Been Waiting (IGMOD Records, 1994). As such, the pianist decided to move forward with or without grant funding and put together ...
Alan Davey: Al Chemical's Lysergic Orchestra Vol. 2
by Jack Gold-Molina
One of the longest standing members of the space rock juggernaut Hawkwind, bassist Alan Davey got his start in the late 1970s with his own heavy psychedelic rock band Gunslinger. His tenure with Hawkwind ran from 1984 to 1996, and then again, finally, from 2001 to 2007, leaving both times to pursue his own musical interests ...
Frank Wess: Magic 201
by Maurizio Zerbo
Maestro riconosciuto dell'arrangiamento per big band jazz, Frank Wess si distingueva altresì per le linee morbide e sinuose del suo sax tenore. In questa veste lo ritroviamo protagonista di questo CD, registrato due anni prima della sua scomparsa. Lo affianca un notevole quintetto che con classe e discrezione ripercorre un ammaliante filo della memoria, intriso di ...
