Michael Leonhart: Suite Extracts Vol. 1
by Angelo Leonardi
Credo proprio di non esagerare ma è dall'uscita di There Comes a Time di Gil Evans che non ascoltavo un album orchestrale così eclettico nella sintesi di materiali diversi. Il nuovo disco di Michael Leonhart segue il debutto di The Painted Lady Suite (Sunnyside 2018), il maestoso affresco musicale che evocava l'impressionismo del primo Evans, con ...
Dave Holland, Zakir Hussain, Chris Potter: Good Hope
by Emmanuel Di Tommaso
Un frammento di mare aperto increspato dalle correnti e attraversato, al centro, da una successione di lettere che compongono il titolo del disco, Good Hope, e i nomi dei suoi autori: Dave Holland, Zakir Hussain e Chris Potter, membri componenti del Crosscurrents Trio.

An Urban Myth: Chris Potter Circuits Quartet feat. Craig Taborn at Porto's Casa da Música
by Arian Bagheri Pour Fallah
Circuits the Record, Circuits the Quartet.The record Circuits (Edition, 2019) makes use of production as a means to architecturally bring to bay today's average, one may say alienated jazz listener, the “grooveland" referenced by Potter merely an excuse and hardly the verdict in this trial. It is a covered walk 'round new-fashioned, urban currents—skintight, ...
