by C. Michael Bailey
Polly Gibbons All I Can Do Resonance Records 2019 Polly Gibbons's 2017 Resonance release, Is It Me...? was positively received by All About Jazz and other outlets when it appeared.

Dave Morgan: Blue Is More Than a Color
by Jack Bowers
If nothing else, bassist-composer Dave Morgan's album, Blue Is More Than a Color, affirms that big-band jazz is alive and well in the Akron, Ohio, area. Perhaps more than coincidentally, Morgan's large and well-drilled ensemble plies its trade on a regular basis at Akron's Blu Jazz Club whose patrons may presumably hear previews of the seven ...

Tiziano Tononi & The Ornettians: Forms and Sounds - Air Sculptures
by Neri Pollastri
Tiziano Tononi non è nuovo ai lavori dedicati all'esplorazione di grandi innovatori del jazz, e già nel decennio scorso una formazione con lo stesso nome di questa, Tiziano Tononi & The Ornettians, ma ben diversa nei componenti aveva firmato due album dedicati a Ornette Coleman, musicista che-come riconosce esplicitamente nelle note di questo CD—ha influenzato non ...
Bill Frisell | Thomas Morgan: Epistrophy

by Angelo Leonardi
Il pregio di quest'album risiede nella ricercatezza dei suoi percorsi melodici, esaltati dal lirico flicorno di Franco Ambrosetti e dalle raffinate orchestrazioni di Massimo Nunzi e Gianni Ferrio. Il riferimento implicito è l'opera di Miles Davis con Gil Evans ma la cosa non sminuisce il fascino del lavoro che avvolge l'ascoltatore con la fragranza dei timbri ...
