Christophe Schweizer Moonsun: Cocoa
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 ...

David Binney: Aliso
by J Hunter
For Aliso, reedman David Binney wanted to get back to “doing things that have been part of my life since I was a kid." It's clear that any time is a good time for a happy childhood, because both Binney and his band dive into Aliso like 10 year-olds on vacation at Disney World. The opening ...
Adriano Santos Quintet: In Session

Alper Yilmaz: Over The Clouds
by Mark F. Turner
If Alper Yilmaz's 2007 debut Clashes (Kayique Records) was a precursor, then his sophomore release Over The Clouds solidifies the Turkish-born bassist as a force to be reckoned with. With an electric bass as his axe of choice, he delivers muscularity and ingenuity in the vein of the great Jaco Pastorius and present day players like ...
