Girls in Airports: Fables

by Ian Patterson
October 22, 2015

Copenhagen quartet Girls in Airport is in fine form on Fables, its fourth release, and first on the Edition Records label. There are fewer big tunes than before although the band's trademark melodic hooks and rhythmic drive, its understated lyricism and hypnotic grooves are all present in abundance. What's been brought into sharper focus is the ...

Andrew McCormack: First Light

by Vincenzo Roggero
September 18, 2015

L'origine britannica e la residenza newyorchese costituiscono il fil rouge che attraversa First Light album nel quale il pianista Andrew McCormack fonde in maniera convincente l'aplomb, la compostezza, l'eleganza anglosassone con la vivacità, la memoria storica, lo sguardo curioso di chi guarda al futuro tipici della scena della grande mela, scena da cui provengono peraltro il ...

Misha Mullov-Abbado: New Ansonia

by Bruce Lindsay
September 13, 2015

Bassist and composer Misha Mullov-Abbado may be a new name on the UK scene but he's already won the 2014 Dankworth Prize for jazz composition and was a 2014 City Of Music Foundation Artist. The 2014 Kenny Wheeler Jazz Prize also came his way, with the release of debut recording New Ansonia forming part of that ...

Drifter: Flow

by Bruce Lindsay
August 5, 2015

Drifter started life as the Alexi Tuomarila Quartet, a band that was beginning to develop a reputation on the European jazz scene with its second album, 02 (Warner Jazz, 2003). Unfortunately, the label's parent company dropped its jazz list, leaving the quartet without a contract shortly after the album's release. Tuomarila carried on--releasing a trio album, ...

Slowly Rolling Camera: Into the Shadow

by Vincenzo Roggero
July 31, 2015

Con Into the Shadow, il progetto denominato Slowly Rolling Camera mette ulteriormente a fuoco l'idea musicale che aveva piacevolmente sorpreso nell'omonimo album di debutto. Quegli undici brani spaziavano a trecentosessanta gradi nell'ambito di una musica d'atmosfera contaminata con il soul, l'elettronica, il jazz, il trip hop, l'ambient. In questo EP -quattro brani per un totale di ...

Verneri Pohjola: Bullhorn

by Ian Patterson
April 8, 2015

Finnish trumpeter Verneri Pohjola has earned his stripes in collaborations with Quintessence, the Ilmiliekki Quartet, UMO--the country's leading big-band--and Black Motor, with whom he recorded the sizzling Rubidium (TUM Records, 2013). It's as a leader, however, with Aurora (ACT Music, 2009)--voted Finish jazz album of the year--and Ancient History (ACT Music, 2012) that he's begun to ...

Daniel Herskedal: Slow Eastbound Train

by Bruce Lindsay
March 27, 2015

Sometimes, album titles tell all: sometimes they tell little or nothing. Slow Eastbound Train sits somewhere in between. Train? No obvious examples. Eastbound? Hmm. Slow? That pretty much describes the pace of much of the music on this album, by Norwegian musician and composer Daniel Herskedal. But none of these three words come close to describing ...

Verneri Pohjola: Bullhorn

by Roger Farbey
February 6, 2015

Trumpeter Verneri Pohjola's third album as leader manages to succeed on several different levels. The opener, “Another Day" captures the listener's attention with plangent piano chords and a soaring trumpet theme. “Girls Of Costa Rica" is a paean to Miles Davis' “Filles De Kilimanjaro," the first few bars echoing (but not entirely copying) the ...
