Fo/Mo/Deep: The Groovy Goodness
by Everett R. Davis
Bassist Ron “FatKat" Holmes and the members of fo/mo/deep are back in a big way with the highly anticipated release of The Groovy Goodness. The The Groovy Goodness contains nine pleasantly delightful, cool funk jazz tracks that take you on a winding journey reminiscent of the 70's, and 80's smooth jazz that moved, grooved, and soothed ...
Pete Rodriguez: Caminando con papi
by Angelo Leonardi
Una questione antica e irrisolta della psicologia riguarda il peso che l'ambiente o la dimensione biologia hanno nel determinare ciò che siamo. Nella storia della disciplina si è dato preminenza all'uno o all'altro fattore, con posizioni talvolta radicali con innatisti e comportamentisti in aperto conflitto. Se poi andiamo nel campo artistico il discorso si complica ancor ...
Anne Vanschothorst: EK IS EIK
by C. Michael Bailey
Dutch harpist Anne Vanschothorst is pretty clear about her omnivorous attitude toward composition. Her interest is using the harp to provide texture as well and harmony and melody to her compositions. She excels as a solo performer and one in concert with other instruments, for example, her opening composition “Where's Mo?" is a tacit duet with ...
Billy Strayhorn: Out Of The Shadows
by Chris Mosey
An elaborate box set from the Danish Storyville label: seven CDs and one DVD, paying tribute to Duke Ellington's arranger and composer Billy Strayhorn that--alas--doesn't quite live up to the ambitions of it's makers. Ask yourself, was Strayhorn truly the shadowy figure implied by the title? While the bulk of ...
Cindy Bradley: Bliss
by Jeff Winbush
Everything you need to know about Cindy Bradley's new album Bliss is right there on the CD jacket photo. Her blonde hair is coiffed, she strikes a stern, yet accommodating stance with no smile, but a hint of cleavage, her right thumb hooked around a belt loop and her left grasping her trumpet. Looks ...

DEM Ensemble: Erguvan
by Alberto Bazzurro
La purezza, la pulizia timbrica e la perfezione degli incastri e delle geometrie sono gli elementi che più colpiscono in questo bellissimo album dell'ensemble turco, di cui Tokaç, Erdal e Güray sono i tre membri fondatori. L'intersecarsi delle innumerevoli corde, a tratti vorticoso ma sempre in possesso di un invidiabile aplomb, su cui s'inserisce con generosità ...
Billy Bottle & The Multiple: Unrecorded Beam
by Vincenzo Roggero
Uno scrittore/pensatore originale e decentrato come Henry David Toureau, un musicista altrettanto originale come Billy Bottle--multistrumentista alla corte di Mike Westbrook, sentimentalmente colluso con la Canterbury Scene -, un'etichetta d'avanguardia e intransigente come Leo Records, ed ecco servito Unrecorded Beam. Unrecorded Beam è il senso della vita visto attraverso la natura, i suoi ...
Ted Rosenthal Trio: Rhapsody In Gershwin
by Dan Bilawsky
The glories of George Gershwin have been well-documented in jazz settings. In fact, many would argue that Gershwin's music has been done to death. So does the world really need another tribute to this iconic tunesmith? In theory, it does not. Supply and demand, and the very nature of saturation, would say that a more-than-sufficient dose ...
