Michael Buckley: Blowing Hot
by Ian Patterson
An early spring vacation to New York saw Michael Buckley and his wife take in what he describes as “the usual sights." But for the Dublin saxophonist that also meant trips to “three or four saxophone shops." Once a tenor saxophonist, always a tenor saxophonist. Buckley, in fact, started out on the flute, playing ...
Michael Buckley: Ebb And Flow
by Ian Patterson
Given his world-class chops, tenor saxophonist Michael Buckley's albums have been too infrequent. This is a man who has played with George Coleman when he was still in shorts (Buckley that is), backed Jerry Lee Lewis, collaborated with Dave Liebman and Kenny Wheeler, and toured with The Mingus Big Band. His talents as a composer for ...

Helge Albin: Homemade
by Fran Kursztejn
If the word “fussy" occasionally rears its head when relating the Helge Albin Quintet's newest release, it is not meant as a slight. Albin--an undeniable staple of the Swedish and wider North European jazz scene--is nothing if not insatiable. Before the quintet's founding, he led the impressive Tolvan Big Band, certainly Sweden's most ambitious musical project ...
Prescribing Jazz: A Top Ten
by Artur Moral
National Doctors' Day is celebrated unevenly across our mistreated planet. It is absent in most countries, while it is observed as a holiday in a few. Coinciding (in the United States and Australia) with this day of recognition for a vital profession, this article is especially directed to the entire jazz-loving medical community, focusing on six ...

Sergio Pamies: Time to Say
by Jack Bowers
Spanish themes and rhythms reign supreme on Time to Say, Granada-born composer, arranger and pianist Sergio Pamies' fourth album, one that is enhanced on its opening and closing numbers, respectively, by the presence of renowned woodwind artists Dave Liebman and Paquito D'Rivera. Not that Pamies' septet needs much help, as everyone is laser-focused ...
Matthew Muñeses, Riza Printup: Pag-Ibig Ko Vol. 1
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un latino e una filippina, peraltro entrambi nati e cresciuti negli Stati Uniti, confezionano questo singolare album che affianca due strumenti ben di rado abbinati, specie in una musica di ispirazione jazzistica (ma ovunque, diremmo: di primo acchito ci viene in mente solo un duo di Anthony Braxton con Jacqueline Kerrod di non molti anni or ...
Florian Arbenz, Michael Arbenz, Ron Carter: The Alpine Session: Arbenz vs. Arbenz Meets Ron Carter
by Neil Duggan
1937 was a landmark year: the Golden Gate Bridge opened and Edward VIII abdicated the British throne. In jazz, Billie Holiday made her debut with Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie began his recording career. It was also the year Ron Carter, the most-recorded jazz bassist in history, was born. With over 2000 recording sessions to his ...
PNY Quintet: Over the Wall
by Giuseppe Segala
PNY è l'acronimo che unisce Parigi e New York. All'insegna di tale tracciato avviene l'incontro che sta all'origine di questo CD, sfociato nella registrazione di Over the Wall. Anche se l'album è a nome collettivo, e se nell'ordine dei musicisti elencati in copertina sono in prima fila i ben noti Steve Swell e Rob Brown, una ...
