Emilio Solla & The Tango Jazz Conspiracy: Bien Sur!
by Martin Gladu
Things are rarely as they initially appear, as if the eye--and by extension, the written word--is but a trickster requiring closer scrutinizing. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux was indeed right when he claimed “If you wish to see, listen; hearing is a step towards vision."Take for example Bien Sur!, by pianist Emilio Solla and his ...
Emilio Solla & The Tango Jazz Conspiracy: Bien Sur!
by Dan Bilawsky
"Tango Jazz," like virtually every other genre-descriptor, is a convenient tag used to categorize what, ultimately, is better understood through listening. Emilio Solla, along with musicians like Pablo Aslan and Pablo Ziegler, are at the forefront of this style. Solla says it best when he explains that the “tango" portion of the title usually refers to ...
Chris Cheek / Victor Prieto: Rollo-Coaster
by Mark F. Turner
An odd couple of sorts, this union between accordion and saxophone is at once curious but proves a match made in heaven with Chris Cheek and Victor Prieto's collaborative release Rollo-Coaster. With great aplomb, they cover a wide scope of music from Tango to improvisational stints and other influences. Prieto, originally from Galicia, ...

Uri Gurvich: The Storyteller
by A. Henkin
Despite the fact that alto saxophonist Uri Gurvich is Israeli and that his debut CD is on the Tzadik label (as part of its “Radical Jewish Culture" series), The Storyteller only sounds parenthetically Jewish. Yes, some of the titles are in Hebrew (translated as “The Builders," “I Believe" and “Chant" and a type of hummus) and ...
Jesse Elder: The Winding Shell
by Ian Patterson
What is clear from one listen to The Winding Shell is that pianist Jesse Elder is a composer/arranger of some ambition. Changing time signatures and the harmonizing of alto and tenor are features of the music, as are interesting percussive dynamics and contrasts between softly voiced and more animated passages. Lively charge and pregnant pause coexist ...
