Yvonnick Prene: Wonderful World
by Ian Patterson
Before arriving in New York in 2007, Paris-born harmonica player Yvonnick Prené had already gained schooling of the practical kind, touring and recording with pianists Laurent Cugny and Yaron Herman, and trumpeter Alex Tassel.

Irene Schweizer - Pierre Favre: Live in Zurich
by Giuseppe Segala
Come dice Ekkehard Jost nel suo fondamentale volume Europas Jazz (Fischer Verlag, 1987), “Negli anni attorno al 1970, in un fase storica relativamente breve, il Jazz europeo trovò se stesso." Gli elvetici Irène Schweizer e Pierre Favre sono tra coloro che contribuirono fortemente all'identità europea di una musica che fino a quel momento aveva vissuto quasi ...
The Basin Street Brawlers: It's Tight Like That
by Bruce Lindsay
It's Tight Like That! is the debut release from the Basin Street Brawlers. Self-styled “purveyors of hot jazz"--indeed, with laudable hubris, “London's own master exponents of hot jazz"--the Basin Street Brawlers hark back to a bygone age, when sharp suits were de rigueur and bands that failed to get their audiences dancing would soon be excluded ...

Zach Brock: Purple Sounds
by John Kelman
Virtuosity isn't defined by notes-per-minute; true virtuosity is instrumental mastery surrendering to the demands of the song. Sometimes that can mean shredding with furious intensity, yes; but the real deal also respects music that demands less, rather than more. Violinist Zach Brock is, indeed, the real deal, and Purple Sounds, his second release for Holland's Criss ...

A vague opinion might then have been tossed off that is ...
