Jim Black Trio: The Constant

by Vincenzo Roggero
The Constant, ossia la forma canzone come costante nella scrittura che Jim Black mette in campo in questo terzo lavoro del trio completato dal giovane talento Elias Stemeseder al pianoforte e da quello già ampiamente riconosciuto di Thomas Morgan al contrabbasso.

John Abercrombie Quartet: Up and Coming

by John Kelman
Starting the new year with, if not precisely a bang, a nevertheless unforgettable record whose strength lies in pristine lyricism, nuanced group interplay and writing that capitalizes on the entire quartet's appreciation of subtlety over gymnastics and refined lyricism over angularity, John Abercrombie's Up and Coming--ECM's first release of the year--is also founded strongly on the ...

Okay, this recording by Portuguese saxophonist and flutist Paulo Chagas, and guitarists Samuel Hällkvist, from Sweden, and ...
Rudy Royston Trio: Rise Of Orion

by Karl Ackermann
The visceral style of drummer Rudy Royston was considerably toned down on his leader debut 303 (Greenleaf, 2014), a septet outing where the drummer often worked within the context of an ensemble player. Pared down to a trio formation for Rise Of Orion, Royston retains the services of the ubiquitous saxophonist Jon Irabagon and bassist Yasushi ...
Samantha Boshnack: A Musical World Without Boundaries
