I 10 CD nel CD-Player di... Marta Sanchez
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Jaki Byard --The Last from Lennie's (Prestige--2003). Ho ascoltato spesso Jaki Byard durante l'ultimo anno. Ora sto indirizzando la mia attenzione su questo disco con Joe Farrell. La versione di “After You've Gone," suonata in trio è sorprendente. Subito dopo l'esposizione della melodia piano, basso e batteria eseguono dei soli. Lo stride di Jaki ...
Bill Payne/Eva Lindal/Carol Liebowitz: Payne Lindal Liebowitz
by Hrayr Attarian
Clarinetist Bill Payne is a bold but sensitive improviser from the pianist Lennie Tristano's school of musical thought.

Spirits Rejoice! An Interview with Jazz and Religion Author Dr. Jason Bivins
by K. Shackelford
When contemplating the connection between jazz and religion, many short pieces have been written about it, yet no American scholar has released an exhaustive and comprehensive book on such an important topic.

But, the music produced by the threesome totally belies such expectations as it is totally improvised, with nothing preconceived. Of course, ...

Connie Crothers: Concert In Paris
by John Ephland
Connie Crothers' piano sounds like nothing you've heard before. Sure, it's acoustic, she plays melodies, she can be inside or outside the music. One thing she isn't, though, is wishy-washy. One of her latest, Concert In Paris, is a solo effort. And for anyone who loves the intimacy of a solo-piano recital, this one more jazz ...
Free Jazz Versus Free Improvisation
by Dom Minasi
Free jazz versus free improvisation. Are they the same? I submit they are not. Let's take a look at what makes up music. I was taught from the very beginning that music is composed of three parts: 1. Melody; 2. Harmony; 3. Rhythm. Now add improvisation to the mix, and ...
Practice, Do You? Part 1-3
by Dom Minasi
I began studying the guitar when I was seven years old. I hated my teacher and I didn't practice much, but when I changed teachers' and I went to Joe Geneli, I regained a love for the guitar that I first had when I was four years old when I first saw Roy Rogers sing and ...
