The Pizzarelli Boys: Sunday At Pete's
by Ken Dryden
Bucky Pizzarelli was exposed to music from an early age, taught guitar by his uncle (Pete Domenick) after school. Domenick hosted frequent family sing-alongs at his home, in which the young Pizzarelli learned the basics of playing rhythm guitar and more than a few popular songs. After he became a professional and began a family of ...
Subtone: High Tide
by AAJ Italy Staff
È sempre un problema recensire dischi come questo. Che fare? Liquidarlo come l’ennesimo, patinato, ben suonato lavoro di mainstream moderno? Oppure lasciarsi prendere per il naso ancora una volta da una band scaltra e giovane? Ribellarsi alla confezione leccata del progetto, al sound “piacioso” e indifferente alle centinaia di dischi già sfornati su questa lunghezza d’onda? ...
Lee Konitz & The Bert van den Brink Trio: Dialogues
by Francis Lo Kee
Dialogues may be one of saxophonist Lee Konitz's best albums in a discography both prolific and still expanding. The sounds of Bert van den Brink (piano), Hein Van de Geyn (bass) and Hans van Oosterhout (drums) blend perfectly with the leader's alto sax. So attractive is the sound that one hopes this session is not a ...
We Three: Three For All
by AAJ Italy Staff
Tre musicisti straordinari, di antica frequentazione (le loro strade si sono incrociate fin dagli anni ’60), tornano ad incontrarsi con il piacere di comporre assieme le rispettive qualità, ed il risultato non può che essere una registrazione eccellente, tutta da ascoltare. La cifra è quella della libertà dialogica, dell’ascolto reciproco e della risposta espressiva, pur all’interno ...
Steve Lacy & Mal Waldron: At The Bimhuis 1982
by George Kanzler
Soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy (1934-2004) and pianist Mal Waldron (1925-2002) worked together in bands from 1958, but coalesced as a duo in 1981, continuing sporadically for two decades. Both expatriates in Europe, At the Bimhius 1982 captures them at the Amsterdam club in December of that year in just-now-released recordings. Although Lacy was ...
Enrico Pieranunzi: Live in Paris
by AAJ Italy Staff
È straordinario quanto Enrico Pieranunzi riesca ancora ad emozionare e coinvolgere lavorando con una formula così abusata come il piano trio, che egli stesso ha esplorato con dedizione dal 1984 (ma il suo primo trio risale al 1975, con Tommaso e Jorgensen) portandolo a toccare alte vette espressive. Questa registrazione, ripresa il 22, 23 e 24 ...
Kendra Shank: A Spirit Free: Abbey Lincoln Songbook
by Joel Roberts
An album devoted to Abbey Lincoln's glorious compositions is such an obvious and appealing idea it's a wonder it's taken so long for someone to do it. For decades, Lincoln has written one gorgeous song after another, imbued with passion, emotion and her wise lyrical observations on life, love and loss. Yet while almost every major ...
