Null: Null
by Eyal Hareuveni
Young Norwegian fusion trio Null--guitarist Viktor Wilhelmsen, bassist Aksel Jensen and drummer Stian Lundberg--speculates on what would have happened if the Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix plans to record an album together were realized. And how it would have sounded if influenced by the work of seminal Norwegian guitarist Terje Rypdal, mainly in his seventies bands, ...
Machine Mass feat. Dave Liebman: Inti
by Neri Pollastri
Machine Mass nasce nel 2010 come duo tra Tony Bianco e Michel Delville, in un momento esistenzialmente drammatico per il batterista, colpito dalla perdita della moglie.

Kahil El’Zabar's Ritual Trio: Follow the Sun
by Alberto Bazzurro
I tempi dell'Etnic Heritage Ensemble, col suo polistrumentismo spinto e colorato, la sua ricerca delle radici attraverso una chiave comunque sperimentale, sono ormai per Kahil El'Zabar un ricordo. Quest'ultimo lavoro del suo Ritual Trio (gruppo peraltro a sua volta decisamente attempato, di cui nello specifico Payne e Trible risultano ospiti), inciso a Chicago nell'aprile 2013, ce ...
Dee Alexander: Songs My Mother Loves
by Dan Bilawsky
The maternal influence on a musician should never be underestimated.

Stefano Bollani: Joy in Spite of Everything
by Angelo Leonardi
Il quintetto protagonista del nuovo, e splendido, progetto di Stefano Bollani può essere visto come l'esito di stratificazioni successive, che convivono al suo interno in un rapporto dialettico e si esprimono nei vari brani del disco. Alla base c'è il Danish Trio con Jesper Bodilsen e Morten Lund, attivo da vari anni in un ...
Emanuele Parrini: Viaggio al centro del violino
by Neri Pollastri
È molte cose a un tempo, questo lavoro per gran parte in solitudine di Emanuele Parrini, artista che ha riaffermato il violino nel jazz del nostro paese: come recita il titolo, è un'esplorazione delle possibiltà sonore del violino, strumento comunque poco usato e poco valorizzato nel mondo del jazz; al pari di tutti i lavori in ...
Claire Martin: Time And Place
by Dan Bilawsky
Few vocalists are as elegant and eloquent as Claire Martin. She's been dubbed “The First Lady of British Jazz," but she doesn't simply belong to her own people; she's one of the crown jewels of the jazz world, contributing classy and intelligent music via her steady flow of albums on the Linn imprint. ...
