Fabio Marziali: Windows and lights
by Friedrich Kunzmann
It all started out in a small Italian village near Fermo, roughly two decades ago. It was there, at the age of 18, when Fabio Marziali experienced his first live jazz concert and was immediately hooked for good. Then and there the idea was born, to one day record with great jazz contemporaries in a studio ...
John Raymond & Real Feels: Joy Ride
by Dan Bilawsky
There's something to be said for the centered and warm sound qualities born of a flugelhorn fronting a bass-less trio. Even when John Raymond ratchets up the intensity on his original compositions--the choppy title track in five, the circuitous “Follower"--there's a sense of sonic evenhandedness reflecting both the instrument's depth of character and the artist's depth ...

by Mark F. Turner
Trumpeter John Raymond's Real Feels trio with guitarist Gilad Hekselman and drummer Colin Stranahan earned praise for the titular studio release earlier in 2016 with its fresh and modernist take on classics pop tunes and beloved hymns.

Alex LoRe Quartet: More Figs And Blue Things
by Dan Bilawsky
Saxophonist Alex LoRe is a musician of philosophical and poetic bent. With his debut--Dream House (Inner Circle Music, 2014)--that wasn't always apparent, as the scales slightly favored progress over patience. Here, the balance tips the other way, but not so much so that things become tedious. LoRe may be a deep thinker, but he doesn't allow ...

Chitarra, flicorno e batteria sono i lati di un triangolo perfettamente equilatero, ciascuno con la propria ...
Uno sguardo alla chitarra nel jazz contemporaneo
by Mario Calvitti
La chitarra è ormai da decenni uno degli strumenti più popolari e diffusi nel jazz; tanti sono stati, e sono tuttora, gli interpreti di questo strumento, protagonisti di un suo progressivo affrancamento dalle iniziali convenzioni per arrivare a renderlo sempre più libero e trasversale, al servizio di una maggiore e completa espressività del musicista che lo ...

Andrew McCormack: First Light
by Vincenzo Roggero
L'origine britannica e la residenza newyorchese costituiscono il fil rouge che attraversa First Light album nel quale il pianista Andrew McCormack fonde in maniera convincente l'aplomb, la compostezza, l'eleganza anglosassone con la vivacità, la memoria storica, lo sguardo curioso di chi guarda al futuro tipici della scena della grande mela, scena da cui provengono peraltro il ...
