Dave Douglas: Dark Territory

Read "Dark Territory" reviewed by Luca Muchetti


Torna senza la paura di ripetersi. Dave Douglas richiama attorno a sé il collettivo di musicisti battezzato High Risk, coi quali solo un anno fa aveva confezionato un omonimo album, e parte a esplorare nuovi territori di jazz possibile. Lo fa citando, o incorporando elementi che gli amanti di Miles Davis troveranno familiari, e attingendo ancora ...

Read "Frank Woeste e il Questionario di Proust" reviewed by Paolo Peviani


All About Jazz: Il tratto principale della mia musica.

Uri Caine: gli ultimi progetti

Read "Uri Caine: gli ultimi progetti" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Gli ultimi due album di Uri Caine confermano la sua statura di musicista poliedrico e inclassificabile. Il pianista di Filadelfia spazia da sempre tra scuole e generi con disincanto e spirito critico ed è uno dei rari compositori e interpreti d'oggi che esprime costante originalità. In questi due dischi, autoprodotti, non abbiamo sorprese stilistiche, ...

Joey Alexander: Countdown

Read "Countdown" reviewed by Doug Collette


Like most such facile categorizing, 'child prodigy' usually ends up being a dead end rather than a means to explore the subject at hand.
