Nicola Guazzaloca: Tecniche Arcaiche Live at Angelica
by Neri Pollastri
Registrato a Bologna durante il festival Angelica nel maggio del 2014, questo lavoro documenta una performance solitaria di Nicola Guazzaloca divisa in due sezioni.

Cecil Taylor: Live In The Black Forest
by Karl Ackermann
A retrospective look at the sixty-year career of Cecil Taylor, in progress at the Whitney Museum of American Art, incorporates the museum's unobstructed spaces and impressive views of New York City with multimedia documentation of the great composer/pianist's sixty years of creative invention. That openness is emblematic of Taylor's own absence of artistic boundaries. He has ...
Eric Revis Trio: Crowded Solitudes
by Mark Corroto
Listening to a recording, one can assume, as opposed to attending a performance, involves just one of your five senses, hearing. The concert has of course sight, but something about Eric Revis' Crowded Solitudes suggests other senses to consider. This trio recording follows City Of Asylum (Clean Feed, 2013). Revis has retained pianist Kris Davis, but ...
Thinking Outside The Musical Box
by Donal Fox
What is jazz? It is a state of mind, a spiritual quest for true unfettered artistic expression. A human expression of individual freedom, social freedom and love. Jazz is also about diversity.

Craig Taborn: Flaga: Book of Angels, Volume 27
by Dan McClenaghan
There was always a sense that pianist Craig Taborn was more successful as a “super sideman" than as a leader of his own recordings. His contributions to CD offerings by saxophonist Tim Berne, reedman Roscoe Mitchell, saxophonists David Binney and James Carter, and many more, have been critical in crafting dozens of excellent music sets. Then ...
Jemeel Moondoc/Hilliard Greene: Cosmic Nickelodeon
by Mark Corroto
Saxophonist Jemeel Moondoc and bassist Hilliard Greene have quite a bit to talk about in their encounter Cosmic Nickelodeon.

Moreover, the pair come together ...
Jazz Cosmos: Music and Modern Physics
by Victor L. Schermer
To the memory of Leonard Bernstein, the greatest musical educator of all time, a great conductor and composer who loved jazz and whose televised lectures brought a whole generation of listeners into insightful contact with the music. Maybe you remember how astrophysicist Carl Sagan's vision of “billions and billions of stars" captured the awesome ...
Dave Cappello & Jeff Albert with William Parker: New Normal
by Mark Corroto
If sentimentality is the synonym of nostalgia, then the antonym is anticipation, and maybe a better word would be modernity. That word comes to mind spinning the trio recording New Normal by trombonist Jeff Albert, drummer Dave Cappello and their guest, bassist William Parker. Sentimentality is often associated with New Orleans, the birthplace of ...
