Rudder: Matorning
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ad un primo ascolto Motorning delude. Perché leggendo sulla copertina dai colori acidi i nomi di Chris Cheek, personaggio di punta della scena newyorchese, gran stilista del saxofono, e di Tim Lefevre, protagonista di alcuni tra i progetti più trasversali di quell'area come il trio Bedrock di Uri Caine, le aspettative erano per una musica creativa, ...

Yotam Silberstein: Next Page
by J Hunter
Next Page has been pegged as an organ trio disc. The problem with that is saxman Chris Cheek appears on five of the disc's nine cuts.

Rudder:Matorning

Its ambiguous genre label prevented me from accurately describing the music to my houseguests, but it never failed to impress even the most cynical listeneres. Rudder's latest ...
