Frederic Blondy, Joe Rosenberg: Rouge et Blanc
by Vincenzo Roggero
È il silenzio il protagonista di Rouge et Blanc. Il silenzio inteso come cassa di risonanza per le esplorazioni dei due musicisti ma anche come momento necessario per assaporare a pieno tutte le sfumature di una musica per lo più sussurrata. Così come possiamo considerare Rouge et Blanc un disco costruito intorno all'assenza. Quella di melodie ...
Ahmad Jamal & Yusef Lateef: Live At The Olympia
by Ian Patterson
Ahmad Jamal's live performances have been well represented in his discography over the past sixty years. Yet despite touring the globe, all Jamal's live recordings--with the exception of the DVD concert from Lebanon, Live at Baalbeck (Birdology, 2003)--document North American and European gigs. France has always accorded the Pittsburgh pianist a royal welcome, naming him an ...
John Coltrane: Offering: Live At Temple University
by Robert Bush
Discovering unheard John Coltrane material is the Holy Grail for serious music devotees, and the imminent release (Sept.23,2014) of a 1966 live date in the form of Offering: Live at Temple University on the Impulse! label (in conjunction with Resonance Records and Universal Music) to join The Olatunji Concert and One Down, One Up Live at ...
Bill Warfield Big Band: Trumpet Story
by Jack Bowers
Trumpeters Bill Warfield and Randy Brecker have been friends for twenty years; it's high time they joined forces in a recording studio and began making beautiful music together. On Trumpet Story, Warfield's big-band homage to trumpeters and other musicians who have influenced him through the years, six-time Grammy Award winner Brecker solos on eight of ten ...
Topology And Trichotomy: Healthy
by Bruce Lindsay
Collaboration is a jazz staple, just one of the many ways musicians seek to breathe a freshness into their performance or composition. Mostly, such collaborations take place between individuals. Healthy takes collaboration one stage further, joining together two Australian outfits--jazz piano trio Trichotomy and contemporary classical quintet Topology--on a collection of original compositions plus a take ...
Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey: Millions: Live in Denver
by Dave Wayne
Long associated, for better or worse, with the so-called jam band phenomenon of the mid-to-late 1990s, the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey continues to generate intelligent, daring, genre-defying music. JFJO's first live recording in a decade or so, Millions: Live In Denver, is part celebration of their 20th year of existence and part revelry in their new ...
Gianni Mimmo & Alison Blunt: Lasting Ephemerals
by Dave Wayne
To say that someone is a virtuoso on their instrument isn't a statement just about playing ability. Virtuosity implies a deep level of understanding and insight into the way an instrument works, its history, and its sonic capabilities. This knowledge extends to an understanding of the physics of sound production: the minute details of how the ...
Hafez Modirzadeh: In Convergence Liberation
by Hrayr Attarian
Multi-instrumentalist, composer and ethnomusicologist Hafez Modirzadeh's In Convergence Liberation on the intrepid Pi Recordings label is an ambitious work, and one at which he admirably succeeds. The album is a single, unified entity made up of five distinct but interlaced suites that explore a primal spirituality and express it in timeless poetry. Deftly merging ...
The Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman: Fountain of Youth
by Jeff Winbush
If Fountain of Youth isn't the zenith of The Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman it is difficult to imagine what would be. You can't get much more Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman than a Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman album featuring only Russ Freeman. It's a Russ Freeman solo album brilliantly disguised as a Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman album. ...
