Torben Snekkestad: Winds Of Mouth
by Mark Corroto
The Homo sapien caveman picked up a goat's horn and blew some notes through it to entertain the Neanderthals, who had somehow, not paid the cover charge for the spring solstice show. No worries he thought, they'll soon be extinct, and I've just invented music. What the Neanderthals were fascinated with, was, just how ...
Living Room, Barry Guy: Live at Literaturhaus
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il trio danese Living Room ospita il glorioso contrabbassista londinese Barry Guy per questo live consumatosi in quel di Copenhagen nel dicembre 2012, e tre anni dopo ne cava fuori un disco. L'incontro era certo meritevole di documentazione, specie per il lustro che può portare al curriculum dei tre giovani danesi (viaggiano tutti attorno ai quaranta, ...

Alan Baylock Jazz Orchestra: Prime Time
by Jack Bowers

Take Five with Jayson Tipp / Under The Lake
by AAJ Staff
About Jayson Tipp from Under The Lake: “Effervescent, vivacious and all-together engaging" is how one reviewer describes Under The Lake's music, an original sound that Don Dilorio of the North Jersey Herald and News says “doesn't sit easy in any category, thanks to its heavy doses of funkified bass and occasional soul references." It's ...
Bob Merrill: Cheerin’ Up the Universe
by C. Michael Bailey
Jazz as an art form is not noted for a particularly sunny disposition. Trumpeter and vocalist Bob Merrill dispenses with this prejudice in his opening original title composition of Cheerin' Up the Universe, his fourth recording. From the outset, this recital is going to be a positive, affirming musical experience sans the saccharine sentimentality projects like ...
