Matt Wilson: Honey And Salt
by Mark Corroto
We will forgive you if you believed drummer Matt Wilson's previous recording Beginning Of A Memory (Palmetto, 2016) was a summing-up of his career to date. On that recording he invited just about every musician he has worked with as a leader. The conspicuous absence was, of course, Dewey Redman, who had passed on in 2006. ...
Ricordiamo Michael Brecker
by Angelo Leonardi
Sono trascorsi più di dieci anni dalla morte di Michael Brecker, avvenuta il 13 gennaio 2007, il giorno dopo quella di Alice Coltrane. Brecker è stato il massimo e più influente sax tenore post-coltraniano ed è quanto mai doveroso ricordarne la vita e il percorso artistico. Il 25 gennaio di quest'anno la comunità jazzistica ...
Charlie Haden / Liberation Music Orchestra: Time/Life:Songs For The Whales And Other Beings
by Ian Patterson
Formed by bassist Charlie Haden in 1969 to protest America's war in Vietnam/Indochina, the Liberation Music Orchestra has reconvened roughly every ten years to record musical protest in the face of major injustices. Time/Life: Song for the Whales and Other Beings was inspired by concern at global ecological destruction, and to that end the music has ...
The Politics of Dancing: Jazz and Protest, Part 2
by Karl Ackermann
Part 1 of Jazz and Protest took an in-depth look at two landmark artists and the songs that laid the groundwork for protest within the jazz community. Billie Holiday's “Strange Fruit" took a circuitous route from its origins as a poem to its successful recording on a small label that was not afraid to lend a ...
Martin Speake: The Thinking Fan's Saxophonist
by Duncan Heining
British alto saxophonist, Martin Speake, is one of the most adventurous and articulate musicians in a music peppered with creative artists. That he is not a household name--even within the proscribed and marginalised world of jazz--says more about the times than it does about Speake or his single-minded approach to his art. Speake combines ...
Francois Carrier: The Joy of Being
by John Sharpe
Canadian reedman Francois Carrier and drummer Michel Lambert enjoy a fertile alliance. They first met back in 1998, when they invited the great Dewey Redman to join them. Since then they've waxed no fewer than 12 discs either in duet or together with other guests and collaborators. On The Joy Of Being they team up with ...
Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth a Padova
by Giuseppe Segala
Cinema Torresino Padova 26.03.2017 Nella pregevole programmazione del Centro d'Arte studentesco di Padova, l'appuntamento con il quintetto Bigmouth di Chris Lightcap rappresentava l'occasione ghiotta di ascoltare un concerto in esclusiva per l'Italia, in cui alla notevole caratura dei singoli componenti si univa la bella compattezza di un gruppo tra i ...
Jason Rigby: Detroit-Cleveland Trio: One
by Dan McClenaghan
The saxophone/bass/drums format has its challenge: the lack of a harmonic instrument to add depth and structure to the sound. Sonny Rollins put out a classic of the form: A Night At The Village Vanguard (Blue Note, 1958). But he's Sonny Rollins, and all the other saxophonist aren't. Same thing with Ornette Coleman and his two ...
The Mark Masters Ensemble: Blue Skylight
by Jack Bowers
California-based composer / arranger Mark Masters, who has already recorded salutes to Clifford Brown, Jimmy Knepper, Dewey Redman, Steely Dan, the Gershwin brothers and even the Duke Ellington saxophone section, directs his attention and considerable talents this time around to the music of a pair of legendary jazz trend-setters who were in many respects polar opposites: ...
