Gretchen Parlato: In A Dream
by C. Michael Bailey
Vocalist Gretchen Parlato is part Bobby McFerrin, part Theo Bleckmann, and David Binney. All men, yes. Parlato's voice is light as an apparition, ethereal and implied. She is fond of vocal gymnastics as is McFerrin. She shares a sense of humor in art with Bleckmann and a musical adventurousness with Binney. In A Dream is the ...
New Voices: Sarah Manning, John Escreet, Kneebody
by J Hunter
Jazz is like the human body. It needs fresh air, constant activity and a steady stream of nutrients to stay hale and hearty.

by AAJ Italy Staff
Cocoa è un disco che si presenta lineare e se vogliamo anche piuttosto canonico. Composizioni ben strutturate e formalmente ineccepibili, esecuzioni ben ancorate alla tonalità, interplay fluido e ben organizzato, rispetto dei ruoli, arrangiamenti raffinati. Ma l'eleganza che ammalia l'ascoltatore e che avvolge la proposta musicale contenuta nell'ultimo lavoro del trombonista svizzero Christophe Schweizer è tutt'altro ...
