Sonny Rollins: Road Shows, Vol. 3
by Maurizio Zerbo
Come Re Mida, Rollins trasforma tutto quello che tocca in oro, dall'alto della venerabile età di ottantatre anni. A prescindere dai compagni di viaggio, le sei tracce incise dal vivo nel corso dell'ultimo decennio ce lo documentano più gagliardo e inventivo che mai. Una in particolare ("Solo Rollins") può essere elevata a simbolo di una carriera ...
Roby Glod, Roberta Piket, Mark Tokar, Klaus Kugel: Op Der Schmelz Live
by Neri Pollastri
Un quartetto internazionale, ripreso dal vivo in un centro culturale lussemburghese, è protagonista di questo ottimo CD sul confine tra il jazz moderno e l'improvvisazione più radicale. Alla guida il francese residente in Lussemburgo Roby Glod, al suo fianco la newyorchese Roberta Piket, l'ucraino Mark Tokar e il tedesco Klaus Kugel, tutti musicisti che hanno lavorato ...
Charles Lloyd: Manhattan Stories
by Vic Albani
È sempre più raro che il mercato discografico possa riesca a mettere le mani su, e poi pubblicare, gemme di particolare bellezza magari dimenticate in qualche cassetto oppure mai pubblicate prima per i più svariati motivi. Con l'incredibile meticolosità di sempre, la Resonance di Zev Feldman e George Klabin recupera oggi due scintillanti concerti di sua ...
The Wee Trio: Live at the Bistro
by Luigi Sforza
La bella copertina dell'ultimo CD del Wee Trio--in puro stile fumettistico pop art, alla Roy Lichtenstein, comprensivo di onomatopee--rappresenta i tre musicisti nell'atto di suonare. La musica poi è un'esperienza dinamica sfaccettata, in sintonia con le possibili declinazioni di una società in continuo movimento. L'accostamento tra pop art e Live at the Bistro -disco ...
Larry Corban & The Aperturistic Trio: The Corbanator
by Dan Bilawsky
New York-based guitarist Larry Corban took his time creating a follow-up to his debut-- Moving 4-Ward (Self Produced, 2002); it would be more than a decade before album number two--The Circle Starts Here (Nabroc Records, 2013)--would appear, but that one got the ball rolling again. Corban formed a strong connection with his trio mates on that ...
Tommy Igoe: The Tommy Igoe Groove Conspiracy
by Edward Blanco
Known as one of the best drummers in the jazz world today, Tommy Igoe is also one of the most in-demand musicians around and since 2006, Igoe and the Birdland Big band have been holding residency at New York's Birdland Jazz Club which apparently, is not enough to keep the drummer grounded. Igoe now lives in ...
Kaye Bohler: Handle the Curves
by C. Michael Bailey
"The White Tina Turner." Them is fightin' words. West coast vocalist and composer Kaye Bohler might be better described as Tina Turner covering Etta James at Muscle Shoals. Handle the Curves is a decade of original compositions that span from the Aretha Franklin-inflected “Diggin' on My Man" to the Van Morrison-ish title tune. ...
Frank Lowe: Out Loud
by Mark Corroto
Musical archeology has become somewhat of a trend these days. It might be explained, in part by the rebirth of vinyl and the excavation of long out-of-print titles, but also there are scores of devoted collectors who've discovered unpublished recordings of significant artists. For the serially neglected avant-garde of jazz, some of these finds have been ...
Brian Charette: Good Tipper
by Dan Bilawsky
Nine of the eleven tracks on organist Brian Charette's Square One (Posi-Tone, 2014) were originals, but that doesn't mean he's uninterested in tackling the music of others. In fact, judging by this album, it would seem that he really digs digging into covers. Everybody from film score icon John Barry to tunesmith Jimmy Webb to saxophonist ...
Mammal Hands: Animalia
by Phil Barnes
Tough economic times have seen a lot of musicians aggregate into trios of one sort or another of late. Sonically the more minimalist sound has the upside that it is more easily reproduced live and avoids the logistical and financial difficulties of maintaining a large ensemble. The trouble is that it becomes more and more difficult ...
