Chris Potter Underground: Follow the Red Line: Live at the Village Vanguard
by John Kelman
In a rare move, saxophonist Chris Potter has released two CDs on the same day, and on the same label--Song For Anyone, his first album for a large ensemble; and Follow the Red Line: Live at the Village Vanguard, featuring the Underground band that's been touring for the past couple of years. Risky, perhaps, but Potter's ...
Scott Colley: Music Architect
by R.J. DeLuke
Scott Colley can be found adding his big-toned, always appropriate contra bass to a number of settings. He's been a staple on the New York music scene for some time now, with older established musicians like Pat Metheny, Andrew Hill, John Scofield, Joe Lovano, Michael Brecker, Clifford Jordan, Herbie Hancock and many, many more. But also ...
Dave Holland: Critical Mass
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo ottimo album del bassista Dave Holland incarna l’idea di classicità moderna. Ascoltandolo se ne ricava immediatamente la sensazione che sia un lavoro che si pone in una posizione ‘centrale’ nel panorama jazzistico dei giorni nostri. Una sorta di raffinata costruzione architettonica attorno alla quale ruota la musica stessa di Dave Holland, un bassista che non ...

Chris Potter: Underground
by Martin Gladu
Evidently, rhythm is at the core center of this contemporary and urban-sounding album. Throughout these hard-driving selections, Chris Potter and his 55 Bar cohorts deliver rock-solid performances, both individually and collectively. In fact, one cannot not mention Potter's producing and A&R work--it firmly positions this album as jazz/fusion album of the year (if one can overlook ...
Mark Sholtez: Real Street
by Gina Vodegel
Australian singer/songwriter Mark Sholtez and this debut album have been a buzz since March of 2005. At first, Real Street was scheduled to be released in September of 2005, but after a long delay, it was set for April Fool's Day of 2006, no less. The album, however, is everything but a joke! For the recording, ...

Chris Potter: Underground
by AAJ Italy Staff
La prima cosa che salta all’occhio ascoltando questo ottimo Underground del saxofonista americano Chris Potter è la presenza di una sottile anomalia che rende questo lavoro utile per capire da che parte sta andando il jazz contemporaneo. Molto semplicemente si tratta di una anomalia nella strumentazione: manca infatti il basso, acustico o elettrico che sia. E ...
Chris Potter: Raising the Bar
by Mike Brannon
Like the ripples in a still lake, emanating in every direction across its surface, sometimes certain realizations strike you repeatedly within a short period—like becoming aware of something or someone for the first time, and then referencing it again and again from different sources as your awareness catches up to your first perception. At that point ...
