Colin Vallon Trio: Le Vent
by Neri Pollastri
Dopo il debutto con l'apprezzato Rruga, il trio svizzero di Colin Vallon torna a registrare, parzialmente rinnovato nell'organico--Julian Sartorius sostituisce il peraltro ottimo Samuel Rohrer--ma costante nelle atmosfere e nei temi, qui quasi interamente della penna del pianista e leader. La musica del trio si basa su una narrazione lirica aperta e non ...
Colin Vallon Trio: Le Vent
by John Kelman
When Bill Evans emerged in the 1950s, he represented a paradigm shift for the jazz piano trio. No longer a lead instrument supported by a rhythm section, Evans' more egalitarian approach to music-making allowed delineated soloists to engage in a more fully conversational context, with any instrument capable of pushing the music in a new direction ...
Elina Duni Quartet: Matane Malit
by John Kelman
There was a time when jazz musicians were commonly recruited to play on pop records, because their purview was so broad that they could mold themselves into any context. Elina Duni's music may not be jazz by conventional definition, but its improvisational spirit clearly occupies the broader “jazz state of mind" to which the Albanian-born/raised and ...
Colin Vallon Trio
by AAJ Italy Staff
Auditorium - Roma - 13.11.2011 La concomitanza del suo concerto con quello di Pat Metheny, entrambi in programma presso l'Auditorium romano allo stesso giorno e nella stessa ora, non ha certamente favorito il bravo pianista svizzero Colin Vallon, la cui musica avrebbe sicuramente meritato un pubblico più numeroso, ma è probabile che il recente approdo alla ...

Neil Cowley Trio: Radio Silence
by Karl Ackermann
In recent years, a number of piano trios have done an admirable job filling the void left by the untimely passing of Esbjörn Svensson and, by consequence, his pioneering trio, e.s.t. The Tingvall Trio, more than most, along with Sebastian Liedke, Marcin Wasilewski and Colin Vallon, have all overseen efforts that encapsulate a similar style and ...
Wolfert Brederode Quartet: Post Scriptum
by Dan McClenaghan
ECM Records has a way of offering up music from various artists that seems as if it has existed forever--in nature, in the air--and that they, the label and the artists involved--be it pianists Tord Gustavsen or Bobo Stenson, or saxophonist Jan Garbarek--are simply conduits for grabbing those sounds and bringing them to the listening/CD-buying public. ...
