March 19, 2014

01. Antonio Zambrini--Due colori (Abeat--2003). Ho conosciuto il pianista Antonio Zambrini durante la partecipazione al progetto con la cantante Silwia Bialas. Ho apprezzato da subito il suo modo di suonare che mi ricorda un poco quello del mio amico pianista svedese Lars Jansson. Zambrini mi ha dato questo album e lo sto ascoltando continuamente ...

March 16, 2014

Russian-born tenor saxophonist Lena Bloch carries a cool burning torch for the music of saxophonist Warne Marsh and the Lennie Tristano school of jazz. For Feathery, her debut CD as a leader, Bloch has assembled a quartet that can rival the loose and interactive and spontaneous ensembles of alto saxophonist Lee Konitz--a Tristano acolyte and Bloch's ...

Hutchinson Andrew Trio: Prairie Modern

by John Kelman
March 12, 2014

If Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are the only places in Canada considered, in any way, as hotbeds for jazz, the prairie provinces are, with the exception of the annual Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music, pretty close to the bottom of the list of other Canadian cities that have small but aspiring jazz scenes. ...

Keith Jarrett: Arbour Zena

by John Kelman
February 28, 2014

Given his overall focus on just two projects over the past three decades--with the exception of relatively rare diversions into the classical world or recordings like Jasmine (2010), an intimate duo date with bassist Charlie Haden--it's easy to forget that there was a time when pianist Keith Jarrett was not just one of the most innovative ...

Keith Jarrett / Dennis Russell Davies: Ritual

by John Kelman
February 28, 2014

In pianist Keith Jarrett's vast ECM catalogue, albums on which he does not play aren't exactly common, but nor are they completely uncommon; his 1974 double-disc set In the Light features a handful of tracks on which he performs, but its primary focus is on Jarrett the composer. Ditto Luminessence (1975), a trilogy of compositions for ...

Birchall & Woolhouse: The Scenery of Life Unfolding

Read "The Scenery of Life Unfolding" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan
February 17, 2014

Piano trio albums--piano, bass and drums--may be the more common means of artistic expression in jazz, but piano/bass duet sets come long fairly often, too. Bassist Charlie Haden is a master of the approach, proof of which can be found on his teamings with pianists Keith Jarrett and Hank Jones on, respectively, Jasmine (ECM Records, 2011) ...

2013: The Year In Jazz

by Ken Franckling
January 3, 2014

The West Coast now has a jazz edifice of its own with strong roots, International Jazz Day grew in scope during year two, jazz made its mark on (and off) Broadway, and the number of musicians lost during the year was large and painful.

Brian Carpenter: In Between The Cracks

by DanMichael Reyes
January 2, 2014

To write that Brian Carpenter has had an interesting career would be an incomplete statement since he holds so many. By day Carpenter is an engineer, but there's also his radio shows, his acting career, a film he's working on about Albert Ayler, his band Brian Carpenter and the Confessions where he sings and composes, and ...
