Black Milk Impulses: Manifesto
by John Eyles
Black Milk Impulses is a Berlin-based trio that describes itself as “a laboratory for improvised or roughly arranged electroacoustic jazz," a description which manages to incorporate a great deal into a short space, thus leaving the door open for many possibilities. The core members of the project are Australian pianist Leo Auri and Italian drummer Gianpaolo ...
Assaf Kehati Trio: Naked
by Edward Blanco
A progressive jazz guitarist with a preference for the electric strings and a light touch, Assaf Kehati unveils his third album Naked since arriving from Israel in 2007 and establishing himself as a modern force to be reckoned with. Kehati offers an album of primarily original music conveying a story behind every piece beginning with the ...
Luca Ciarla: Violinair
by Duncan Heining
"I would be interested to know what you think of my record." The reluctant reviewer takes the CD, heart sinking, thinking to themselves, “I very much doubt it." On this occasion, I am, however, grateful to Italian violinist, Luca Ciarla. He's certainly not without self-assurance but, fortunately, that confidence is well-matched by the genuine talent evident ...
Jim Pembroke: If The Rain Comes
by Dave Wayne
Singer / songwriter Jim Pembroke has had a fascinating career to say the least. A native Londoner, Pembroke journeyed to Finland to visit his then-girlfriend in the mid-1960s. He wound up staying, and by the end of the decade he had recorded an album with the seminal Finnish rock band, Blues Section, taught himself piano, and ...
The Cellar and Point: Ambit
by Vic Albani
Due chitarre, violino, violoncello, vibrafono e ritmica. Curiosa line-up per uno dei gruppi più interessanti del momento, capace forse di rispondere alla domanda “dove sta andando la musica?." Molti recensori e critici festeggiano la strada di The Cellar and Point chiedendosi che razza di musica proponga questa formazione. New jazz o new pop? ...
Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: Double Windsor
by Vincenzo Roggero
I dieci minuti dell'iniziale title-track valgono da soli il prezzo del biglietto. Non che il resto dello spettacolo sia di secondo piano, ma è in quell'inizio folgorante che riusciamo a cogliere al meglio l'originale vis poetica di Sylvie Courvoisier, pianista di origini svizzere da anni trapiantata a New York. C'è un ostinato sui ...
UDU CALLS/Tiziano Tononi & Daniele Cavallanti with William Parker: The Vancouver Tapes
by Mark Corroto
The Vancouver Tapes might have been called The Lost Recordings had drummer Tiziano Tononi not found this recording at the bottom of a chest he stored it in after his appearance with saxophonist Daniele Cavallanti and bassist William Parker. It was their first ever meeting at the 1999 Vancouver Jazz Festival. The instant the ...
Carol McCartney: Be Cool
by Edward Blanco
Toronto native Carol McCartney records another impressive vocal statement on the breezy Be Cool cementing her reputation as one of Canada's finest jazz vocalist and building on the foundation established from her critically-acclaimed debut Night In Tunisia (CDBaby, 2007). Though presenting a selection of primarily familiar standards from the jazz cannon, the Joni-Mitchell pop tune title ...
Ken Thomson and Slow/Fast: Settle
by Dave Wayne
There are ways to get to know people really well, really quickly. Many of these fall under the general category: “challenge them, somehow." For a certain time of my life this meant: “go camping with them." Really. If you go camping with a group of people, you will find out a lot about them in a ...
Steve Khan: Subtext
by Mark F. Turner
From his obscure gems on Columbia Records--Tightrope (1977), The Blue Man (1978) and Arrow (1979), or the critically acclaimed 1980s Eye Witness recordings, to 2011's Latin-tinged Parting Shot (Tone Center), jazz guitarist Steve Khan continues to deliver his unique artistry--exquisite touch, expressive solos, and warm tonality--that's made his music identifiable. Subtext finds that mastery still intact ...
