Anna Webber's Simple Trio with Matt Mitchell & John Hollenbeck: Binary
by Karl Ackermann
Canadian native, now a Brooklyn resident, Anna Webber, has a broad, international music education having studied at McGill University in Montreal, Manhattan School of Music and the Jazz Institute of Berlin. In the latter two cases she has received Master's degrees to accompany the substantial number of grants and awards that speak to her compositional ability. ...
Dave Douglas, Frank Woeste: Dada People
by Giuseppe Segala
Secondo quanto dichiarato dai due musicisti, la suggestione di Man Ray e del suo ruolo nel movimento Dada è alla base dell'incontro tra Dave Douglas e Frank Woeste, da cui nasce Dada People, titolo quanto mai esplicito del CD realizzato in quartetto dal trombettista statunitense e dal pianista francese insieme al contrabbassista Matt Brewer e al ...
Jonathan Finlayson: Moving Still
by Karl Ackermann
Trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson has been an in-demand sideman for a decade, laying a foundation of top-tier groundwork in recording with Steve Coleman on all of that uncompromising composer's Five Elements albums since 2002. Finlayson's performing credits include gigs with Ravi Coltrane, Steve Lehman, Mary Halvorson, Vijay Iyer, and many other notable artists. Not until 2013 did ...
Uri Caine: gli ultimi progetti
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
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. In the case of Joey Alexander, it's a disservice precisely because it's so restrictive: if he proves anything on his second album, it is that he will not be confined.
Quinsin Nachoff: Flux
by Mark Corroto
Listening to Flux by saxophonist Quinsin Nachoff, it's easy to see in your mind's eye the DNA double helix beautifully spinning in the dark space of the human cell. That's because Nachoff composes tight, complex chamber pieces, seemingly delicate in structure, but able to withstand the attack of the jazz infantry. Nachoff's training and ...
Andrew McAnsh: Illustrations
by Dave Wayne
Its liner notes, song titles, and cover art liberally peppered with references to Japanese culture and Zen Buddhism, Andrew McAnsh's debut recording, Illustrations was inspired by the young trumpeter / composer's journeys through the Land of the Rising Sun. However, McAnsh's original compositions--far from displaying any direct influences of Japanese ethnic music--are relentlessly hard-hitting modern jazz ...
Dave King Trio – Asia Avails 2017
A very exciting new trio from three of the most dynamic jazz artists working today! Led by visionary drummer Dave King, this trio recently made a splash at the Winter JazzFest in New York in January 2016, and are warming up for a new record, set to come out on ECM Records in 2017. Dave King ...
Prasanna: All Terrain Guitar
by Glenn Astarita
As a solo artist, Prasanna (Raga Metal Conversations, Raga Bop Trio) doesn't record that often, but when he does, it's usually an impressive musical statement, incited by his ferocious licks and unique convergence of Indian Carnatic music with a Western muse. For example, check out his previous outing, which is an East-West tribute to Jimi Hendrix ...
Greg Ward & 10 Tongues: Touch My Beloved's Thought
by Vic Albani
Tanti ma tanti anni fa, di passaggio da quelle parti per un giro chicagoano, mi domandai cosa cavolo potesse lasciare ai posteri un posto come Peoria (capitale dell'omonima contea) a parte un celebre discorso di Abramo Lincoln del 1864 sulla schiavitù e i diritti del popolo nero, l'aver dato i natali a un paio di discreti ...
