Denny Zeitlin: Early Wayne
by Maurizio Zerbo
Il titolo di questo album Early Wayne è leggermente fuorviante. Le composizioni proposte costituiscono il cuore dell'estetica shorteriana, non soltanto gli esiti giovanili. La musica proposta denota un'approfondita ricerca sulle strutture e le armonie originarie, di cui vengono tracciati a tratti nuovi sentieri melodici inaspettati. Non è sempre automatico che la rilettura di ...
Don Preston / Jeff Boynton / Philip Mantione: TriAngular Bent
by Dave Wayne
A lot of artists Don Preston's age, with a similar musical pedigree, are revered as “national treasures." For whatever reason, this hasn't yet happened for the veteran sonic explorer, still going strong after 84 years on the planet. Perpetually a “Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition," he's most frequently remembered for his groundbreaking work with Frank Zappa. ...
Michael Musillami/Rich Syracuse: Of The Night
by Dan McClenaghan
It would be hard to name an artist who has written more jazz standards than saxophonist Wayne Shorter, someone who has been penning memorable tunes since his days with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the very early sixties. After his stint with Blakey, he contributed his singular song crafting acumen to Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet ...
Denny Zeitlin: Early Wayne: Explorations of Classic Wayne Shorter Compositions
by Budd Kopman
Early Wayne has many things going for it: it is a well recorded, live concert; pianist Denny Zeitlin, who has been recording for over fifty years, is masterful to the point of completely taking over the listening space, and, last but not least, the material used as the base for his improvisation is a set of ...
Denny Zeitlin: Early Wayne: Explorations of Classic Wayne Shorter Compositions
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Denny Zeitlin's career in music started just a bit after saxophonist Wayne Shorter showed up on the scene. Shorter's debut album, Introducing Wayne Shorter (Vee Jay Records) arrived in 1959. Zeiltin's introduction to the jazz listening public came in 1963, in a sideman stint on flutist Jeremy Steig's Flute Fever (Columbia Records). A year later, ...
Jazz Music Is Ecstatic Language
by David Arivett
Leonardo DaVinci once said, “Do you know that our souls are composed of music?" Music and religion are intimately linked, and music is one of the most powerful tools to convey religious meaning. As human beings, we have been given the gift of musical language which can help transform us from our humdrum, everyday existence, into ...

Jerry Granelli: What I Hear Now
by Vincenzo Roggero
What I Hear Now è un gioiellino di eleganza, sobrietà, passione, musicalità. Al settantaquatrenne Jerry Granelli sono sufficienti trentotto minuti scarsi per mettere in campo una vita dedicata alla musica -quella senza confini e senza barriere, dalle session free della San Francisco anni sessanta alle sedute psichedeliche con Sly Stone passando per gli storici trio con ...
Jerry Granelli: What I Hear Now
by Dan McClenaghan
The simple answer to the question that drummer Jerry Granelli poses on What I Hear Now is “horns." He hears horns over the foundation of his regular trio with saxophonist Dani Oore and bassist Simon Fisk who uses the 3 string bassetto here. The mix is three reeds, including tenor saxophonist Mike Murley, joined by a ...
Denny Zeitlin: Riding the Moment
by Dan McClenaghan
The album Switched-On Bach (Columbia Records, 1968), by Walter (now Wendy) Carlos was a seminal introduction to synthesized music. Carlos used the then new MOOG Synthesizer to painstakingly construct the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Love it or hate it seemed to be the reaction, without much opinion in between. But one thing for certain, the ...
