From This Very Moment On with Alan Schulman and Stacey Schulman

Read "From This Very Moment On with Alan Schulman and Stacey Schulman" reviewed by Katchie Cartwright

by Katchie Cartwright

The program begins with an alchemic single from Crazy World, the 2026 album by Philadelphia-based guitar-voice duo Alan Schulman and Stacey Schulman. With the help of the brilliant rapper Kokayi, they have managed to turn a romantic Cole Porter song into a contemporary something-else-entirely (All About Jazz's review is here). Our theme is topical, and the ...

Irreversible Entanglements: Future Present Past

Read "Future Present Past" reviewed by Jack Kenny

by Jack Kenny

Irreversible Entanglements do not deliver coded music. Frustrated by music that only claims to carry a message, the quintet--Camae Ayewa, Luke Stewart, Keir Neuringer, Aquiles Navarro and Tcheser Holmes--fuses long-form improvisation, groove, and spoken word into a contemporary extension of the 1960s and '70s Black avant-garde. They originally came together to protest a police brutality event ...

James Newton Quartet: Live in Willisau

Read "Live in Willisau" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

by Giuseppe Segala

Ecco una pubblicazione molto opportuna, a favore di un musicista il cui lavoro è assai poco documentato. Ne fotografa un momento iniziale, immerso nel campo del jazz, dentro un percorso che, nell'arco di oltre cinquant'anni, ha successivamente toccato tappe di molteplice orientamento, sviluppandosi nella musica accademica contemporanea, per orchestra e da camera, per balletto e danza ...

Carlos Garnett: Cosmos Nucleus

Read "Cosmos Nucleus" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Nato a Panama nel 1938, Carlos Garnett è stato sassofonista, compositore e bandleader, noto ai più per la partecipazione al classico On the Corner di Miles Davis, benchè le sue frequentazioni fossero sempre improntate all'eccellenza (Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Andrew Hill, Charles Mingus per citarne alcuni). Sull'onda del Davis elettrico, Garnett incide per la ...

Immanuel Wilkins Quartet: Immanuel Wilkins Quartet: Live At The Village Vanguard

Read "Immanuel Wilkins Quartet: Live At The Village Vanguard" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic

by Mike Jurkovic

Firebrand alto-saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins takes over the Village Vanguard and keeps it loose, y'all. From the rogue bossa nova “Ring Shout" and its immediate successor, “Composition II," each scenario has its very own sweep and sway. Take, for instance, the hell-raising, elders-chant fever inherent in “Composition IX."  Twenty-three raucous, raise-the-rafters minutes wherein each participant--pianist and fellow ...

Roy Brooks: The Free Slave

Read "The Free Slave" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Esistono molte ragioni per non farsi sfuggire questa splendida riedizione (anche in vinile dal master originale analogico). Primo:  Il nome del batterista Roy Brooks resta ingiustamente dimenticato anche se gli unici raffronti possibili--musicalmente parlando--sono con Tony Williams ed Elvin Jones. Affetto da un disturbo bipolare Brooks fu spesso internato in case di cura e in carcere ...
