For the group's third effort on this fan-funded imprint, The ...

Clayton Brothers: The New Song and Dance

Read "The New Song and Dance" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Nei nove brani di The New Song and Dance i Clayton Brothers mettono in mostra la loro voglia di esplorare - e rielaborare, facendole proprie - le atmosfere degli anni in cui il jazz richiamava folle danzanti. Le intenzioni sono chiare fin dai due temi d'apertura: “Cha Cha Charleston," un brano ancheggiante dove la tromba di ...

Clayton Brothers: Brother to Brother

Read "Brother to Brother" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Innamorati dell'eredità sonora lasciataci dai fratelli Adderley, i Clayton (due fratelli ed il più giovane figlio dei due) ne ripropongono con grinta i tratti essenziali. Li contraddistingue un maturo, gioioso sound di gruppo, che arricchisce l'hardbop di base con il groove contemporaneo. Piacciono l'abilità ed il piglio con cui il quintetto rivisita i propri modelli, dimostrando ...
