Jozef Dumoulin: A Fender Rhodes Solo
by Eyal Hareuveni
Belgian keyboards player Jozef Dumoulin describes his new solo album, his first solo album, as the the first solo album in the history of the electric piano, the Fender Rhodes. It is also a culmination of a long exploratory journey into the various, weird, eccentric sonic qualities of this vintage instrument, enhanced with electronic effects.
Various Artists: Jazz on Film: French New Wave
by AAJ Staff
Dannazione faustiana, quella del cofanetto. Immortalità a prezzo conveniente, sfruttando la mortalità dei diritti d'autore e del concetto stesso di disco come entità autonoma, ma rilanciando in qualche caso abbinamenti di senso culturalmente stimolanti. È il caso della serie Jazz on Film, che pubblica degli ottimi box tematici dedicati al jazz ...
Pandelis Karayorgis Quintet: Circuitous
by Giuseppe Segala
Il pianista Pandelis Karayorgis riunisce in questo robusto quintetto alcuni campioni del jazz chicagoano: il sassofonista Dave Rempis, cresciuto ala corte di Ken Vandermark e apprezzato leader di una interessante formazione come The Percussion Quartet, il sassofonista e clarinettista Keefe Jackson e il batterista Frank Rosaly, esponenti della nuova guardia ruotante attorno al gruppo Fast Citizens, ...
Abdullah Ibrahim: Mukashi Once Upon a Time
by Maurizio Zerbo
Abdullah Ibrahim apre la sua musica verso gli orizzonti dell'Oriente, proiettandola in qualche traccia verso i suoni tradizionali del Giappone. Non è una scelta estetizzante, ma ben rispondente alla curiosità di un uomo che da 50 anni pratica le arti marziali e le filosofie orientali. Come ben dimostra la magnifica traccia finale del CD, i colori ...
The Bill McBirnie Trio: Find Your Place

Ken Vandermark Resonance Ensemble: Head Above Water / Feet Out Of The Fire
by Mark Corroto
Listening to the music Ken Vandermark writes for large ensembles do we dare compare him to Duke Ellington? Both band leaders and composers wrote and arranged music to be played by a select troupe of musicians and both suffered the fate of surfing the knife edge of innovation. Ellington always seemed to be delivering scores with ...
Peter Evans + Raleigh Dailey: Measure From Zero
by Glenn Astarita
Llama Records is a new jazz improvisation label out of Lexington Kentucky. Here, pianist Raleigh Dailey teams with mega-talented trumpeter Peter Evans, cited for his work with the young and insanely hip Mostly Other People Do the Killing band amid high profile stints with saxophonist, composer John Zorn and guitarist Mary Halvorson as the list goes ...
Farthest South: Spheres & Constellations
by Eyal Hareuveni
The Israeli psychedelic trio Farthest South focused on new sonic territories on its sophomore album, Spheres & Constellations, abandoning attempts to flirt with free jazz as they did on their debut Omens & Talismans,(2013), working with Israeli sax hero Albert Beger. On its new incarnation the band sounds completely different, still relying on exploratory, in-the- moment ...
Lili Añel: I Can See Bliss From Here
by Chris M. Slawecki
With I Can See Bliss From Here, singer-songwriter Lili Añel presents a set of personal songs that deeply touch the listener's ear, mind and soul, and bring to mind the confessional yet universal genius of such songwriters as Tracy Chapman, Phoebe Snow and Roberta Flack--they really are that well-written. “These are the songs I want to ...
Greg Cohen: Golden State
by Ian Patterson
Though best known for his twenty-plus years in saxophonist John Zorn's Masada, bassist Greg Cohen's career has been marked by the diversity of his collaborations, from the carnivalesque Tom Waits and folkster Donovan, to rocker Lou Reed and saxophonist Ornette Coleman. So, in guitarist Bill Frisell--himself no stranger to experimentation--Cohen has found a most simpatico partner. ...
