Jason Ajemian: The Art of Dying
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il dischi che nascono da un'intimità espressiva e da una continuità di lavoro si riconoscono a pelle. Indipendentemente dall'esito finale, sembrano possedere un calore e una dimensione narrativa molto più profonda rispetto ad altri progetti, portando con sè le tracce della costruzione e lasciando che queste tracce diventino parte integrante della musica. In questo The Art ...
Corey Wilkes: Drop It
by John Barron
Trumpeter Corey Wilkes has been garnering considerable attention on the Chicago jazz scene in the last few years as a sideman with the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Kahil El' Zabar's Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and Fred Anderson. Drop It, Wilkes' debut as a leader, finds the young lion exploring an array of contemporary, funk-laden compositions with a ...
Corey Wilkes: Drop It
by Jerry D'Souza
It was in 2002 that Corey Wilkes (trumpet, flugelhorn, cornet) made his presence on the Chicago jazz scene. His strengths as a musician soon ushered him into the seat left behind by Lester Bowie with the Art Ensemble of Chicago. He has filled that spot remarkably well just as he has added more fire to Kahil ...
Willie "The Lion" Smith & Don Ewell: Stride Piano Duets—Live in Toronto, 1966
by Jerry D'Souza
Willie “The Lion" Smith was one of the great stride pianists whose style and approach were an inspiration to many. His ideas were fermented by a larger-than-life presence that he transfused into his playing. He also transmitted his unabashed exuberance to his audience. The power of his playing and his animation come to the fore on ...
Cy Touff & Sandy Mosse: Tickle Toe
by Jerry D'Souza
Time has its wrinkles. Within its folds can lie discoveries that make the heart happy like this album recorded by Cy Touff (bass trumpet) and Sandy Mosse (tenor sax) in 1981. The two had called on John Campbell (piano), Kelly Sill (bass) and Jerry Coleman (drums) and entered Universal Studios for a session of mainstream tunes. ...
Cy Touff/Sandy Mosse: Tickle Toe
by John Barron
The pairing-up of jazz personalities often fails to live up to the hype, falling short of listener expectations. Musical camaraderie is not something that can simply be conjured up by outside sources--despite the ongoing efforts of record labels and festival promoters. Successful musical partnerships are more often than not the result of experiential similarities between artists, ...
Corey Wilkes: Drop It
by Mark Corroto
At just 29 years of age, Corey Wilkes has emerged as the next big thing in the trumpet world. This isn't a career path similar to Wynton Marsalis, nor Roy Harper, for that matter. Wilkes, an Illinois native, may be the reincarnation of the master, Lester Bowie. In fact, he has distinguished himself in the trumpet ...
Corey Wilkes: Drop It
by Nic Jones
As the man who took on Lester Bowie's mantle in the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Corey Wilkes is clearly not averse to a challenge. He's also a musician with an above average grasp of where the music's come from and a clear idea of where he wants to take it. As a trumpet player he's already ...
Willie "The Lion" Smith & Don Ewell: Stride Piano Duets. Live In Toronto 1966
by Nic Jones
The more time passes, the starker the light thrown on a release like this. This is a point that can't be emphasized enough when it comes to something like the stride piano style and Delmark deserves high praise indeed for putting in the work necessary to get this music out there. Smith was arguably the greatest ...
Cy Touf / Sandy Mosse: Tickle Toe
by Nic Jones
These co-leaders had been stalwarts of the scene for decades by the time they cut these sides in Chicago in 1981. They worked that rich seam of post-bop music that conversely looked back to the music immediately prior to that significant shift. Here, they lay out their credentials in the company of a rhythm section that's ...
