Guillermo Klein: Los Guachos V
by Angelo Leonardi
Anche se da anni è votato tra i massimi orchestratori emergenti nel Critics Poll di Down Beat, Guillermo Klein è quasi sconosciuto al pubblico internazionale del jazz. Eppure guida questa piccola orchestra da un ventennio, con strumentisti prestigiosi come Jeff Ballard, Ben Monder, Miguel Zenon, Chris Cheek. Nato nel 1969 a Buenos Aires, ...
Chris Cheek: Presents Saturday Songs
by Vincenzo Roggero
Il nome di Chris Cheek ricorre in più di ottanta album a conferma del suo riconosciuto ruolo di “musician for musicians." I dischi da leader sono in netta minoranza e la sua ultima registrazione in questa veste risale al lontano 2005 (Blues Cruise -Fresh Sound New Talent). Peccato perché le sue doti di band leader, di ...
Chris Cheek: Saturday Songs
by Jakob Baekgaard
The idea that jazz has to renew itself sometimes results in rather pretentious and purely intellectual experiments with form, but it is possible to play inventive and intellectually stimulating music without losing a sense of fun and inclusive curiosity. Saxophonist Chris Cheek is the proof. Cheek comes with a refreshingly unprejudiced approach to ...
Guillermo Klein: Los Guachos V
by Budd Kopman
If a creator has a vision, being persistent in working to bring it to life is a requirement. This is true in life, for visions big and small, and not just for artists.

Justin Mullens: The Cornucopiad
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il cornista newyorkese Justin Mullens è qui alla guida di un ottetto che non fa mistero di riferirsi a certi esperimenti anni Cinquanta, che nel frattempo tanto esperimenti non sono più. Ciò non toglie che il CD in oggetto possieda svariati elementi di appeal per il potenziale ascoltatore. Anzitutto per la bellezza degli insiemi, quattro fiati ...
Chris Cheek: Saturday Songs
by Budd Kopman
Sometimes, combining seriousness of intent and high musicianship with pure fun is just the thing one needs, and is exemplified by Saturday Songs from tenor saxophonist Chris Cheek. Cheek does not make a lot records as a leader (see Blues Cruise from 2006), but is on literally scores of albums as a sideman (see ...

Hannes Riepler: Wild Life
by Bruce Lindsay
Austrian-born guitarist and composer Hannes Riepler moved to the UK a decade ago, releasing debut album The Brave (Jellymould Jazz) in 2012. Wild Life is his second album: with a new and slightly stripped-down line-up (no keyboards this time around) it's an equally impressive outing.Most of the tunes are Riepler's originals--there's also experienced saxophonist ...
