Mads la Cour Quartet: Hule
by Mark Corroto
Danish cornetist (who doubles on flugelhorn) Mads la Cour maintains a fluid conception of his band Almugi. Almugi has been large, as in his eight piece Almugi Large Ensemble (WhyPlayJazz, 2015) and small as in Duo (WhyPlayJazz, 2015) with drummer Anders Mogensen. With Hule, he settles on a quartet line-up featuring saxophonist/clarinetist Lars Greve (August Rosenbaum, ...
Bray Jazz Festival 2018
by Ian Patterson
Bray Jazz Festival Various Venues Bray, Ireland May 4-6, 2018 From the hilltop vantage point the Irish Sea lies veiled under a blanket of thick mist. Greystones, five miles to the right, birthplace of the great Christy Doran, peeks out, seemingly floating above the misty clouds like a Roger ...
Andy Zimmerman: Half Light
by Karl Ackermann
Saxophonist Andy Zimmerman is not a household name. The native Chicagoan has been composing, performing, and teaching music for more than two decades. In part, he comes to the subscription-based vinyl label Newvelle by virtue of a long association with the label's co-founder Elan Mehler, himself an accomplished jazz pianist. Mehler and Zimmerman played together at ...
Nate Wooley: Knknighgh Minimal Poetry (for Aram Saroyan)
by Giuseppe Segala
Il multiforme talento di Nate Wooley aggiunge una tessera significativa alla propria generosa produzione discografica, pubblicata in buona parte dall'etichetta Clean Feed. In scena è un quartetto che già nell'organico evoca il free storico, allineando tromba, sax alto, contrabbasso e batteria. In effetti, il CD esordisce con un richiamo al quartetto di Ornette, con delle cellule ...

Jon Irabagon Quartet: Dr. Quixotic’s Traveling Exotics
by Mark Corroto
It's easy imagine Hollywood producers putting together a comic book superhero movie when listening to a recording by the saxophonist Jon Irabagon. We know that after joining Moppa Elliott's Mostly Other People Do The Killing and winning the 2008 Thelonious Monk Saxophone Competition, he decided to use his super powers for good instead of evil. Like ...
Linda May Han Oh: Talento e Dedizione
by Angelo Leonardi
Tra i bassisti di nuova generazione--nello strumento sia acustico che elettrico--il ruolo di Linda May Han Oh spicca per il lavoro svolto sia come bandleader che partner di protagonisti come Pat Metheny, Dave Douglas, Vijay Iyer, Joe Lovano o Kenny Barron. Nel 2017 ha pubblicato il quarto album a suo nome Walk Against Wind (Biophilia Records) ...

Tenor saxophonist Jon Irabagon is best known for his long tenure with Mostly Other People Do the Killing (MOPDtK), beginning with This Is Our Moosic (Hot Cup Records, 2008) and through the majority of that group's releases up to 2017's Loafer's Hollow. But along the way to Dr. Quixotic's Traveling Exotics, he has accumulated an eclectic ...
