Eric Hofbauer and Dylan Jack: Remains of Echoes
by Troy Dostert
Always attuned to unusual choices that keep his listeners guessing, guitarist Eric Hofbauer knows no bounds when it comes to his repertoire. One is as likely to hear a Cyndi Lauper or Nirvana cover as something by Thelonious Monk or Charlie Parker. And his stylistic approach on the guitar is similarly idiosyncratic, with a gutbucket blues ...

Earprint: Easy Listening
by Jerome Wilson
Earprint's second album follows the template laid down by its first: relatively short tracks that concentrate a bevy of ideas into energetic four to six minute bursts. Trumpeter Tree Palmedo and saxophonist Kevin Sun bounce off each other's lines with precision and style while bassist Simon Willson and drummer Dor Herskovits provide a sizzling underbed of ...
Don Cherry Tribute, Four Visions, Alberto Pinton & Earprint
by Maurice Hogue
The late trumpeter Don Cherry had and still has a huge influence on the creative music scene, from his work with Ornette, Coltrane, Old And New Dreams, CODONA, and Carla Bley to his exploration and fusion of world music.

Istanbul Jazz: So Close to the Music, So Far From New York
by Arthur R George
That any musician, old cat, young lion, or apprentice anywhere, endeavors in jazz is amazing enough, given the elusiveness of “success." That is even more true in Istanbul, Turkey: not a conventional jazz capitol, far from the African-American roots of jazz, and even beyond the music's major continental domiciles. Yet the tilting cobblestoned streets of the ...
Whit Dickey/Kirk Knuffke: Drone Dream
by Alberto Bazzurro
Di duetti tromba/batteria, dai tempi dei due volumi-capostipiti (peraltro largamente polistrumentali) intitolati Mu e firmati congiuntamente da Don Cherry e Ed Blackwell (era il 1969, giusto mezzo secolo fa), ce ne sono stati svariati, pur entro una formula--un abbinamento--sempre piuttosto esclusiva, alla fin fine alquanto rara. Tornano sull'argomento Kirk Knuffke, trentanovenne trombettista di Denver ...
Cristiano Calcagnile Multikulti Ensemble: The Gift of Togetherness
by Vincenzo Roggero
Tre intensi giorni di registrazione a Mestre nell'ottobre 2015, davano vita all'album Multikulti Cherry On ( Caligola, 2017), tra le cose migliori uscite in quel periodo. L'ensemble allestito da Cristiano Calcagnile nasceva sotto il segno di Don Cherry e la musica suonata era un riuscitissimo omaggio ad un artista visionario e fuori dagli schemi.
