Dominic Miller: Silent Light

Read "Silent Light" reviewed by Geno Thackara

by Geno Thackara

Dominic Miller is a guitarist you've undoubtedly heard somewhere or other, whether you've knowingly heard of him or not. A life circling the globe (from Argentina to England and currently France) has let him absorb folk, Baroque and Latin American sensibilities, among other things, which leads to collaborations with similarly eclectic names. His widest exposure has ...

Dominique Pifarély Quartet: Tracé Provisoire

Read "Tracé Provisoire" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

by Neri Pollastri

La cifra è quella che da sempre caratterizza il violinista francese: un camerismo contemporaneo piuttosto astratto, marcatamente ritmico ...

Tomasz Stańko New York Quartet: December Avenue

Read "December Avenue" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

The elder statesman of modern Polish jazz, trumpeter and composer Tomasz Stańko has more than a forty year history with ECM.

Ralph Towner: My Foolish Heart

Read "My Foolish Heart" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

There is no lack of poise in guitarist Ralph Towner's music. As the principle writer and guitarist for the band Oregon, a group which since 1970 has blended jazz, world music, and classical elements together, he has garnered a well-deserved reputation as one of the most virtuosic guitar players ever. For years, Towner has been consistently ...

Craig Taborn: Daylight Ghosts

Read "Daylight Ghosts" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Misterioso. E imperscrutabile. Si presenta così il nuovo album di Craig Taborn. Perché le certezze del primo brano -oh, ecco il Taborn che conosciamo, il suo approccio, i punti fermi del suo stile, le linee guida della sua estetica in bella evidenza -svaniscono nel resto del lavoro. Dove ci si addentra progressivamente e irrimediabilmente in una ...

Benedikt Jahnel Trio: The Invariant

Read "The Invariant" reviewed by Mark Sullivan

by Mark Sullivan

Sometimes there's no substitute for experience, as demonstrated by this trio as it celebrates its tenth anniversary as a working unit. Last heard on Equilibrium (ECM, 2012), it's an international group that met through a series of lucky coincidences: Berlin-based pianist/composer Benedikt Jahnel is joined by Spanish bassist Antonio Miguel and Canadian drummer Owen Howard. Jahnel ...
