Billy Childs: Rebirth
by Dan Bilawsky
It's been a while since we've heard pianist Billy Childs really dig in. While he certainly hasn't been dormant, reaching tremendous artistic heights in semi-recent times with a pair of highly refined chamber jazz explorations and a much-lauded tribute to Laura Nyro, the Childs of yore--the man that would throw down the gauntlet night after night ...

Yelena Eckemoff: Blooming Tall Phlox
by Mark Sullivan
You can look up the phlox flower online: there are 67 species, many of them fragrant. But none of the photographs or botanical classifications will tell you how it smells. For that we have pianist/composer Yelena Eckemoff's musical impressions here, along with a range of other smells recalled from her Russian childhood. When Eckemoff visited Finland ...
Ivo Perelman: The Art of the Improv Trio
by Jim Trageser
For the last few centuries, the avant-garde movement has taken for itself the role of challenging preconceived notions of what is acceptable in music, in poetry, in the visual arts. This challenge has, for the most part, consisted of violating accepted rules in order to provoke discussion about the validity of those norms. In ...
2016: An Ivo Perelman Marathon
by Mark Corroto
The original marathoner, Pheidippides in 490 BC, is believed to have run from Marathon, where a battle was being fought, to Athens to inform an assembly that the Persians had been defeated. It certainly was quite the achievement, taking into account the sorry state of footwear at the time and lack of prepackaged gels and energy ...
Yelena Eckemoff: Blooming Tall Phlox
by Dan Bilawsky
While the art of playing jazz qualifies as a multisensory experience, involving listening, touching, and seeing, it usually doesn't extend so far as to include the sense of smell. But that's not to say that a nose for scents has no place in musical and artistic spheres. If you need convincing, just look at Blooming Tall ...
Mehmet Ali Sanlikol & Whatsnext?: Resolution
by Dave Wayne
Turkish multi-instrumentalist, composer and ethnomusicologist Mehmet Ali Sanlikol has a wide variety of interests and clearly isn't afraid to think big. His second album, Resolution features two distinct ensembles: a 19-member jazz orchestra and a 12- member jazz combo. Each track, except for “A Dream in Nihavend" and the set closing “Love Theme from Ergenkon," features ...

Available January 20, 2017 on L&H Production “Blessed with prodigious classical chops, Eckemoff's a gutsy, imaginative improviser. She's also a gifted composer who's devised a totally original take on the whole jazz-classical hybrid concept. Effortlessly modern, with nothing to prove beyond total involvement in the moment, Eckemoff presents a thoroughly modern, yet intimate and highly personal ...
Branford Marsalis Quartet with Special Guest Kurt Elling: Upward Spiral
by Stefano Merighi
Sembra che Branford Marsalis continui ad avere John Coltrane come stella polare nell'orientarsi in una luminosa maturità artistica. E come il maestro che, nel bel mezzo di un turbinoso oltrepassamento del linguaggio specifico del jazz, piazzava due disorientanti album di canzoni (i peraltro magnifici John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman e Ballads), così Branford interrompe l'intensa progressione ...
