Billed as the “Sass 'n' Soul World Tour," LA jazz pianist George Kahn presents the Jazz & Blues Revue, his eighth album as leader featuring three of LA's finest female jazz vocalist in his first all-vocal project and departure from previous recordings. On tap, fresh new arrangements of thirteen songs that obviously, not only touch on ...
Paul Motian: ECM Recordings
by AAJ Staff
Come mi è capitato di sottolineare in un ritratto monografico dedicato al batterista poco dopo la sua scomparsa [nel numero 164/gennaio 2012 della rivista BlowUp], non è certo casuale che la figura di Paul Motian abbia trovato una sua piena rilevanza negli anni Settanta e Ottanta, quando il jazz ha iniziato a riflettere in modo sistematico ...
Mr. Zombie Orchestra: Someone Likes It Zombie!
by Neri Pollastri
Quartetto piuttosto classico nella formazione e tuttavia abbastanza atipico per il repertorio e la sua interpretazione, Mr. Zombie riunisce quattro giovani musicisti emiliani, tutti tecnicamente apprezzabili, che hanno l'esplicito intento di “trovare un punto di accordo tra antico e moderno, tra cultura statunitense e cultura europea, tra Jelly Roll Morton e Secondo Casadei." ...
Jeremy Monteiro & Alberto Marsico: Jazz-Blues Brothers
by Ian Patterson
There can't be many bands with a piano and an organ in the front line. There are few better exponents of Hammond organ--actually a KeyB--than Alberto Marsico ("I've never heard anybody do it better than Alberto"--Joey DeFrancesco) while Jeremy Monteiro--widely considered as the best jazz pianist in Asia--has cut it with James Moody, Michael Brecker, Jimmy ...
Jaclyn Guillou: Winter For Beginners
by Dan Bilawsky
If ever there was a voice that could balance an icy chill with fireplace comfort and warmth, it's this one. On Winter For Beginners, Jaclyn Guillou's intoxicating voice takes the ear through an odyssey of the seasons, communing with nature in all of its beauty, be it rich or stark. Guillou's originals are ...

Tubby Hayes: Without a Song – Rare Live Recordings 1954-73
by Roger Farbey
This comprehensive 3-CD box set comprises 22 previously unissued live tracks constituting a veritable cornucopia for Tubby Hayes fans. It also benefits from 31 pages of extensive, informed and intelligent sleeve notes from the redoubtable Hayes biographer Simon Spillett, plus some previously unseen photographs. CD-1 opens with a rousing “Bark for Barksdale" by the ...
Trio 3 + Vijay Iyer: Wiring
by John Sharpe
It really should be Trio 4 by now! For their previous four albums the threesome has added a pianist to the ranks, first Geri Allen, then Irene Schweizer, then Allen again, and lastly Jason Moran. Now on Wiring Vijay Iyer takes over the piano stool. You could argue that with their credentials saxophonist Oliver Lake (World ...
Maria Ahn: Je t'aime Bowie
by Mario Calvitti
Da quando il Kronos Quartet e altre formazioni simili hanno abbattuto gli steccati tra musica accademica e musica popolare interpretando in chiave contemporanea i classici del rock, le contaminazioni tra i generi non si sono risparmiate. E se in passato erano i musicisti rock a cercare di nobilitarsi strizzando l'occhio al mondo classico con ibridizzazioni tanto ...
Marcello Tonolo, Michele Polga, Domenico Santaniello, Massimo Chiarella: Puccini in jazz
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un solido post-bop proposto da un quartetto di conformazione che più classica di così non si potrebbe è quanto ci offre questo CD, la cui specificità primaria risiederebbe pure nel fatto che il materiale tematico è desunto da alcune delle più celebri arie del compositore lucchese (novant'anni esatti dalla sua morte il 29 novembre 2014, fra ...
