Jazz: An Origin Story
by Karl Ackermann
In 2020, I published A Map of Jazz: Crossroads of Music and Human Rights (WS Publishing), a book that looks at the culture of jazz on a timeline with cultures of the world. At more than 500 pages, the book is incomplete by necessity; there is no well-marked path, and the history is sometimes nebulous. However, ...

Kris Davis: Run the Gauntlet
by John Sharpe
While Kris Davis hews close to the hallowed piano trio format on Run The Gauntlet, her first return to the set-up since Waiting For You To Grow (Clean Feed, 2014), she inevitably gives it a few intriguing twists. By recruiting bassist Robert Hurst, alumni of Tony Williams, Steve Coleman and Wynton and Branford Marsalis, and drummer ...
Giuseppe Segala's Best Jazz Albums Of 2024
by Giuseppe Segala
There is not much to add to this list, other than noting note that the order is alphabetical and, of course, does not reflect any ranking of merit.

by John Sharpe
From the 200 or so discs that I heard in 2024, here are the ten new issues and three gems saved from obscurity, which gave me the most pleasure. As always these selections are entirely subjective, and take no account of the many other albums which I would no doubt have loved if I had heard ...

Davies was involved with two bands while living in Holland, in Terneuzen, a semi coastal port town. One band scored a lot of gigs with festivals and parties versus the other, who only played a few times ...
I dischi del 2024 secondo Giuseppe Segala
by Giuseppe Segala
Non c'è molto da aggiungere a questa lista: solo il fatto che l'ordine è alfabetico e, naturalmente, non segue una classifica di merito. Senza dubbio il 2024 ci ha dato tanta bella musica, da ascoltare e riascoltare. Purtroppo tante segnalazioni sono rimaste oltre il confine dei dieci CD: in tanti casi l'inclusione o meno è dovuta ...

Quattro super-leader, fra cui anche il nostro Tiziano Tononi, per il quale far parte di questo illustre consesso rappresenta un'autentica medaglia, compongono l'organico protagonista di questo notevole album a nome del bassista (nonché, qui ma non solo qui, anche flautista) Joe Fonda, fresco settantenne, una carriera iniziata nei primi anni Ottanta proprio accanto a Wadada Leo ...
