The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra: Beauty And The Beast feat. Bill Evans
by Dan McClenaghan
The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, SNJO, under the leadership of saxophonist Tommy Smith, has proven itself to be one of the premier large ensemble outfits out there. They have released a series of uniformly excellent recording, beginning with 2002's Miles Ahead, featuring Ingrid Jensen, a remake of the Miles Davis/Gil Evans gem; an expansive take on ...
Rob Reddy: Citizen Quintet
by Alberto Bazzurro
Allievo di Ken McIntyre e Dave Liebman, attivo sulla scena jazzistica alla testa di propri gruppi a partire dalla fine degli anni Ottanta, e in parallelo in seno a formazioni dirette da Reggie Workman e Ronald Shannon Jackson, il sopranista Rob Reddy ha maturato nel corso degli anni una visione alquanto personale del fare jazz, come ...
Dave Liebman Group: Expansions Live
by Alberto Bazzurro
Registrato dal vivo (a Seattle, Pittsburgh e Duluth) fra l'ottobre 2014 e l'ottobre 2015, questo doppio album ci offre un'istantanea attuale di Dave Liebman e del gruppo che ne supporta i più recenti appetiti creativi. La singolarità è che il quintetto che ha realizzato l'opera si sdoppia su due profili: acustico (primo CD) ed elettrico (secondo ...

Benedikt Jahnel Trio: The Invariant
by Karl Ackermann
The Invariant, as in a “constant," is a fitting title for Benedikt Jahnel Trio who have recorded as a unit since their debut Modular Concepts (Material label, 2008) and later moving on to the ECM label with Equilibrium (2012). Jahnel, a musician and mathematician in Berlin, has a deep appreciation for complex similarities between the two ...
Bobby Avey: Inhuman Wilderness
by Neri Pollastri
Un trio che si allarga a quartetto in metà delle tracce interpreta Inhuman Wilderness, quinto lavoro a nome del trentaduenne pianista Bobby Avey, ancora poco noto da noi ma piuttosto affermato negli USA. Giustamente, si può dire ascoltando l'album, che ne documenta le idee musicali moderne e inquiete, ma anche la maestria alla tastiera.
Listening to Jazz Knowingly and Authentically: The Epistemology and Ontology of Jazz
by Victor L. Schermer
"What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought.'" --David Hume I deliberately used the words “epistemological" and “ontological" in the title in order to attract your attention. If you don't know what they mean, you're going feel put off or curious. If you do know, you're going ...
John Abercrombie Quartet: Up and Coming
by Mark Sullivan
Up and Coming is the second release by this version of the John Abercrombie Quartet, following 39 Steps (ECM, 2013). It further cements the longtime relationship between Abercrombie and pianist Marc Copland, which extends back to when both were playing in Chico Hamilton's band in the early '70s (Copland was still playing alto saxophone then, before ...
Adam Berenson / Scott Barnum: Penumbra
by Karl Ackermann
Not one to be tethered to genres or styles, pianist and composer Adam Berenson has been long at home as a jazz pianist, a classical composer, an electronics player or any permutation of those roles. His previous double-CD Lumen (Dream Play, 2014)--complete with two string quartets--was indeed a far-ranging collection of styles and genres that the ...
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 ...
