Bill O'Connell and The Afro Caribbean Ensemble: Wind Off The Hudson
by Dan Bilawsky
Bill O'Connell has had plenty to say with his piano in recent times, basically knocking out a session a year for the Savant imprint. And with an exploration within the solo format, a trip with an augmented trio, and ventures promoting a medium-sized conglomerate of heavy-hitters, he's certainly traversed quite an expanse there. But, as Wind ...
Bill O'Connell: Jazz Latin
by Angelo Leonardi
I tre protagonisti del disco--il pianista Bill O'Connell, il bassista Lincoln Goines e il batterista Robby Ameen--sono stati a lungo partner del flautista Dave Valentin, scomparso nel marzo 2017 a cui hanno già dedicato tributi.

In effetti il vocabolario orchestrale monkiano è quasi tutto da costruire se si eccettuano i progetti ...
