John Hollenbeck: profilo di artista
by Angelo Leonardi
Lo scorso mese di agosto il 61° critics poll di Down Beat ha votato John Hollenbeck al primo posto tra gli arrangiatori emergenti, riproponendo valutazioni già espresse in passato (Rising Star Arranger nel 2012 e Rising Star Big Band nel 2011).

Memories in Motian
by Zeno De Rossi
Soon after hearing about Paul Motian's passing (November 22, 2011) I felt the urge to delve (again) into his music. Later on, inspired by a moving writing by Ellery Eskelin (published on his website and reproduced below, by his kind permission), I thought it would have been interesting to collect brief memories from ...
The Claudia Quintet: September
by AAJ Italy Staff
Pregi e limiti di un gruppo che al suo apparire aveva destato non poca curiosità trovano puntuale, ulteriore conferma in questo nuovo lavoro del quintetto capitanato da John Hellenbeck (tutto suo, come di consueto, il materiale tematico): da un lato una spiccata identità, dall'altro un calligrafismo, una scheletricità emotiva" che rendono la musica fin troppo algida, ...

Hollenbeck's recordings, compositions and performances defy certain expectations. He can be as seriously intellectual as a stereotypically stuffy classical musician, but his music ...
