Umbria Jazz 14 - Fra spettacolo e buon jazz
by Libero Farnè
Umbria Jazz 14 Perugia, varie sedi 11-20.07.2014 Lo spettacolo “Divertimentificio," “Industria del divertimento": orribili neologismi, coniati anni orsono poi caduti in disuso, per denotare una delle vocazioni trainanti dei centri balneari della costa romagnola. Anche Umbria Jazz, per buona parte della sua programmazione, è tesa a creare divertimento ...
Rafael Rosa: Portrait
by Ian Patterson
In jazz terms Puerto Rico has certainly punched above its weight, producing Juan Tizol--a mainstay of Duke Ellington's bands in the 1930s and 1940s, Eddie Gomez and Manolo Badrena--who came to prominence in the 1960s/1970s through their respective associations with pianist Bill Evans and Weather Report--and latterly David Sanchez. Lesser known--though perhaps that's soon to change--is ...
Tom Chang: Tongue and Groove
by Dave Wayne
Look at the lineup on Tom Chang's Tongue & Groove! There is literally no way that this album could be anything less than great. Listening, repeatedly, to Tongue & Groove has, in fact, borne this out. Chang utilizes the increasingly popular two-reeds / bass / drums configuration to frame brief, but consistently spectacular, improvisations in the ...

Save the Date - Luglio 2014
by Luca Canini
Impazza l'estate, impazzano i festival. Rassegne, eventi, raduni, piazze, castelli, arene, vicoli, spettatori sudati che non sanno come sbarazzarsi della coppetta del gelato appena trangugiato, bambini aggrappati ai passeggini, improbabili canotte, pelli bruciacchiate, aperitivi in ogni dove e concerti a non finire. Ma di qualità poca. L'infilata di meraviglie che ha caratterizzato la primavera è un ...
David Binney: Anacapa
by John Kelman
Some artists move forward in great leaps and bounds, while others evolve more slowly, over longer periods of time. David Binney is one of those rare musicians who manage to do both. While a sampling of some of his recent albums, such as Bastion of Sanity (2005), Cities and Desire (2006) and Aliso (2010l, all on ...
The Passion of Lorenzo Tucci
by Robin Arends
Drummer Lorenzo Tucci is an important part of the thriving Italian jazz scene and a musician drawn to experimental settings. He recorded Drumonk (Veneto Jazz, 2007) his tribute to Thelonious Monk without piano, and a piano-trio album, Tranety (Albore Jazz, 2010), dedicated to John Coltrane without a saxophonist. In the 1990s Tucci started his professional carreer ...
Joel Harrison & Anupam Shobhakar Multiplicity: Leave the Door Open
by Chris M. Slawecki
Leave the Door Open is more than evocative and expertly played music: It heralds the emerging age of global world jazz and the attendant possibilities with which it comes. Jazz and blues guitarist Joel Harrison (from Washington, DC) and sarode player Anupam Shobhakar (from Kolkata, India) first met to work on Harrison's 2010 Guggenheim ...

David Binney: Anacapa
by Andrew Luhn
Listeners who have followed alto saxophonist David Binney's extensive discography know that rock is an intrinsic ingredient of his music. While the rock influence is almost always present, Binney's regular releases and appearances on Criss Cross Records have usually remained rooted in acoustic jazz. On Anacapa, Binney takes Criss Cross Records in a much more electric ...
