Trygve Seim - Frode Haltli: Yeraz

Read "Yeraz" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Un duo molto particolare, questo dei due giovani norvegesi Trigve Seim e Frode Haltli. Un duo già visto all'opera, con piacere, al festival Jazz&Wine of Peace di Cormons e che su disco conferma, anzi perfeziona quanto di buono aveva mostrato dal vivo. Dei due, il sassofonista Trygve Seim è il più noto, impostosi grazie ai suoi ...

Enrico Rava: New York Days

Read "New York Days" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

In assessing Enrico Rava's lengthy career, while it is clear that he is still reaching for the unattainable, in recent years the Italian trumpeter's context has been considerably more centrist. Easy Living (ECM, 2004) and The Words and the Days (ECM, 2007) were undeniably mainstream, albeit with an unmistakable European and, at times, Mediterranean bent. New ...

Keith Jarrett / Gary Peacock / Jack DeJohnette: Yesterdays

Read "Yesterdays" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

2001 was clearly a banner year for pianist Keith Jarrett and his quarter century-old Standards Trio. Two shows recorded a week apart, have already been released-- The Out-of-Towners (ECM, 2004) and the stellar My Foolish Heart (ECM, 2007), where the trio expanded its encyclopedic approach to the standards repertoire to include some serious stride and ragtime ...

CODONA: The CODONA Trilogy

Read "CODONA: The CODONA Trilogy" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

When borders are eliminated, infinite possibilities arise. Perhaps the greatest achievement of ECM Records- -especially during its first decade, when it was establishing the unique identity and aesthetic that has made it such a significant force over the past forty years--has been its ability to bring together artists of seemingly different backgrounds to create music that ...

Gianluigi Trovesi: All'Opera - Profumo di Violetta

Read "All'Opera - Profumo di Violetta" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Il “nostro” Ornette. Questo viene alla mente ascoltando l’ultima fatica di Gianluigi Trovesi, stavolta impegnato con la Filarmonica Mousiké (ben cinquantaquattro elementi diretti da Savino Acquaviva), e pensandolo nelle situazioni, spesso molto differenti tra loro, nelle quali ha registrato i precedenti lavori: gli splendidi CD con l’ottetto, da From G to G (Soul Note, 1992) a ...

Life's Backward Glances - Solo and Quartet

Read "Life's Backward Glances - Solo and Quartet" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

With an inestimable career largely spent in the service of interpreting the material of others, it's easy to forget pianist Steve Kuhn's equally valuable contributions as a composer. That he's turned almost exclusively to the venerable ECM label when either the spirit moves him to focus once again on his own writing, or when the label's ...

Monika Mauch / Nigel North: Musical Banquet

Read "Musical Banquet" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

The music of lutenist and composer John Dowland (1563-1526) has been the subject of several recorded studies, including Paul O'Dette on Harmonia Mundi France and Nigel North on Naxos. The German label ECM has an established interest in 15th Century music in general and Dowland's in particular. This focus has resulted in John Potter's Dowland Project ...
