The Whammies: Play The Music of Steve Lacy Vol. 3, Live
by Mark Corroto
The third volume of Steve Lacy dedications by the cover/not cover band The Whammies is a live recording from their 2014 tour. Recorded in Italy and Austria, the band performs their self-described “instant-arranging" of mostly Lacy tunes that in true-to-form fashion elicit surprise and clever improvisation.Saxophonist Steve Lacy, who passed away in 2004, would ...
Michael J McEvoy: The Long Way Home
by Bruce Lindsay
Michael J McEvoy is something of a musical chameleon--a composer, instrumentalist and producer who's played a crucial role in many musical projects without grabbing the limelight. He's composed film soundtracks (including 2008's Me And Orson Welles), and worked as musician or producer with an extensive array of artists including Ian Dury, Sting, Scritti Politti, the Bee ...
Annie Ross: To Lady with Love
by Jack Bowers
London-born, Scottish-bred singer Annie Ross, who is perhaps best known (with Dave Lambert and Jon Hendricks) as part of the hip vocal trio Lambert, Hendricks and Ross (LHR) in the 1950s and '60s, was eighty-three years old when this earnest tribute to Billie Holiday, To Lady with Love, was recorded in 2013. At her advanced age, ...
Adriano Orrù, Paulo Chagas, Mauro Sambo, Silvia Corda: Palimpsest
by Vincenzo Roggero
Metti un contrabbassista e compositore sardo particolarmente attivo nel campo delle musiche di ricerca, dell'improvvisazione e del jazz d'avanguardia, qui impegnato esclusivamente al basso elettrico. Metti una pugno di musicisti altrettanto aperti e curiosi che si alternano in dieci duetti con il bassista di Nuoro. Metti le opportunità offerte dalla rete con file scambiati via rete ...
Felipe Salles: Ugandan Suite
by Alberto Bazzurro
Opera che sembra d'altri tempi, alla ricerca di un terzomondismo ancora sufficientemente pulito da non odorare di world music (nell'accezione più amorfa del termine), quella che ci propone il gruppo allargato (anche a un solista della statura di Dave Liebman) del tenorsassofonista (soprattutto) brasiliano (di San Paolo, ma ormai di stanza a New York) Felipe Salles. ...
Myriad3: The Where
by Dan Bilawsky
Myriad3--the Toronto-based trio of pianist Chris Donnelly, bassist Dan Fortin, and drummer Ernesto Cervini--may be the most noteworthy small group to emerge from Canada in years. Tell (Alma, 2013) introduced the band to the world, marking Myriad3 as an outfit with a post-modern outlook, respect for the traditions of this music, and the smarts not to ...
Annie Ross: To Lady with Love
by C. Michael Bailey
If you want to hear the best Annie Ross, listen to King Pleasure Sings / Annie Ross Sings (Fantasy, 1952). If you want to hear the most empathic and honest Annie Ross, listen to To Lady with Love. Ross is in her early to mid-80s and her voice is not what it was in the 50s ...
The Omar Hakim Experience: We Are One
by Jeff Winbush
To properly appreciate The Omar Hakim Experience one must look back to move forward. By the time Hakim slipped behind the drum kit of Weather Report in 1983, the band was staggering under the weight of personnel departures, management problems and family issues. Founding member Joe Zawinul went in search of new recruits and in walked ...
Caffeine Petrol: Nosejob
by Eyal Hareuveni
The jazz department of the NTNU university in Trondheim, Norway keeps presenting gifted and opinionated musicians that challenge conventional perspectives on genres and styles. The new power trio Caffeine Petrol--guitarist Gudmund Bolstad Skjær, who wrote all the trio pieces, bassist Fredrik Gundersen and drummer Martin Sandvik-- demonstrate how any neo-jazz-cons attempt to frame jazz aesthetics in ...
Joe Rosenberg Ensemble: Resolution
by Vincenzo Roggero
Inizia come una sorta di orazione funebre, toni gravi dominanti, una litania segnata dal sax del leader, con il violoncello a marcare alcune piccole deviazioni e minime dissonanze. Sono i primi tre brani, in pratica una mini suite, che aprono le meditazioni musicali del Joe Rosenberg Ensemble. Quasi un rito sciamanico per preparare la mente alle ...
