Charlie Haden Family & Friends: Rambling Boy
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nell’album di famiglia c’è posto per tutti. Ci sono papà Carl e mamma Virginia. I fratelli maggiori, Carl Jr. e Jim. Poi un piccolissimo Charlie che sorride. Si va avanti, e foto dopo foto, di generazione in generazione ecco spuntare figli, moglie e amici. Charlie Haden a 71 anni riparte dai ricordi. Riparte da quando, a ...
Charlie Haden Family & Friends: Rambling Boy
by John Kelman
There was a time when family entertainment often consisted of coming together to sing and play; when music was not just an oral tradition but a means of engendering familial closeness. A time long past, it contrasts with the contemporary reality of disenfranchised children, in no small part the result of a society where double incomes ...
Roy Hargrove: Earfood
by Tom Greenland
Trumpeter Roy Hargrove's 15th release, Earfood, is one of his best, showing that this not-so-young lion is in top shape. The disc features Justin Robinson (alto/flute), Gerald Clayton (piano), Danton Boller (bass) and Montez Coleman (drums), with Robinson's gushing alto ebullience, slightly loose around the edges, the perfect foil for Hargrove's eclectic moods, which range from ...
David Sanborn: Here & Gone
by C. Michael Bailey
It would not be hard to accuse Here & Gone of being commercially contrived. The disk features a 'prominent musician' playing duets with other prominent musicians. This is not exactly a new formula, but considering that the 'prominent musician' in question is David Sanborn--and that he duets with the likes of Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, and ...
David Sanborn: Here & Gone
by Woodrow Wilkins
Whether contributing a solo for Steely Dan or backing up Maynard Ferguson, David Sanborn quickly made a name for himself as both a sideman and a bandleader more than three decades ago. And like a true musician, he keeps going and going. Sanborn journeys to the days of big bands and St. Louis clubs with Here ...
The Roy Hargrove Quintet: Earfood
by Ian Patterson
In the liner notes, trumpeter Roy Hargrove declares that Earfood was recorded to bring pleasure to the listener. This may seem like a superfluous statement, after all, which artist doesn't want to please the listening public? What Hargrove means, is that the aim of the game is to offer up catchy melodies with a minimum of ...

Dee Dee Bridgewater: Red Earth: A Malian Journey
by Tom Greenland
Singer Dee Dee Bridgewater walks in with considerable credentials, including a hit list of Broadway accolades, an apprenticeship with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra and a string of acclaimed straight-ahead albums, but Red Earth: A Malian Journey trumps them all. While world-beat listeners will recognize these grooves, Bridgewater brings her own experiences as an African-American woman ...
