Jen Shyu and Jade Tongue: Sounds and Cries of the World
by Hrayr Attarian
Vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jen Shyu's Sounds and Cries of the World is both raw and sophisticated, fiercely compelling yet intimately fragile and, above all, terrifyingly beautiful. Her sixth album as a leader, it is a collection of seven original compositions and three folk melodies all inspired by the traditions of Korea, Indonesia and East Timor.

Bergamo Jazz 2015
by Libero Farnè
Sotto la direzione artistica di Enrico Rava per il quarto anno consecutivo, Bergamo Jazz 2015 ha proposto un ampio ventaglio di espressioni jazzistiche, ognuna delle quali fortemente caratterizzata; quasi a ribadire la natura poliedrica di questa musica, la ragione stessa della sua sopravvivenza, vale a dire la sua tentacolare commistione di generi, approcci e forme diverse, ...
Tineke Postma, Greg Osby: Sonic Halo
by Vincenzo Roggero
Che quintetto! Perché se è vero che la front-line affianca uno dei sassofonisti più influenti degli ultimi decenni -Greg Osby -ad uno dei suoi discepoli più interessanti -la contraltista olandese Tineke Postma -il trio ritmico che completa la formazione fa meraviglie.

Jozef Dumoulin & The Red Hill Orchestra: Trust
by Vincenzo Roggero
La The Red Hill Orchestra di Jozef Dumoulin non si rivela una esotica big band, o un ensemble dalle origini misteriose bensì un anomalo trio -batteria, tastiere, sax -dove tre sperimentatori dei rispettivi strumenti danno fondo a bagagli espressivi di matrice assai diversificate per creare originali paesaggi sonori. Perché è proprio il suono a farla da ...

Dan Bilawsky's Best Releases of 2014
by Dan Bilawsky
How does an album end up on this list? It really comes down to two things: strength on impact and staying power. Some records hit hard from the start, ultimately losing power with play after play. Other records come on gently, growing on the ear and the mind over time. But it's the truly rare one ...
Tineke Postma/Greg Osby: Sonic Halo
by Hrayr Attarian
One of the most intriguing elements of saxophonists Tineke Postma's and Greg Osby's superb Sonic Halo is the way the co-leaders overlap their individual voices to create a uniquely multifaceted and harmonically integrated entity. Both Postma and Osby double on alto and soprano and their ideas, whether spontaneous or prewritten, flow seamlessly between them. This sublime ...

Tineke Postma/Greg Osby: Sonic Halo
by Dan Bilawsky
Greg Osby has influenced legions of saxophonists over the past two-plus decades. On Sonic Halo, one of those players stands tall beside him. Once upon a time, Osby and dutch saxophonist Tineke Postma had a mentor-mentee relationship, but that was then, and this is now. Both players are equals on this probing venture. ...
