Satoko Fujii Orchestra New York: Fukushima
by Karl Ackermann
Satoko Fujii's Orchestra New York has been together since their 1997 debut South Wind (Leo Lab/Libra). A “super group" by any standards, it has remained largely intact over the course of twenty years, bringing the ensemble to its latest release, Fukushima, a memorial suite. The Fukushima nuclear accident was caused by a major earthquake and a ...
Francesco Ponticelli: Kon-Tiki
by Neri Pollastri
Tre anni dopo Ellipses Francesco Ponticelli torna con una registrazione da leader, ancora per la Tuk e ancora con tre fidati musicisti come Dan Kinzelman, Enrico Zanisi e Enrico Morello. Diversamente dal lavoro precedente, però, la formazione si ferma qui, al tradizionale quartetto, senza includere altri strumenti e musicisti. Questo cambiamento, tuttavia, non comporta ...
Stephan Crump: Stephan Crump's Rhombal
by Stefano Merighi
Il nome di Stephan Crump viene in genere associato al jazz della scena recente, specie per la sua militanza nel trio del pianista Vijay Iyer. In realtà il bassista di Memphis vive a Brooklyn da oltre vent'anni e può vantare il curriculum di un veterano. Ha firmato da leader una decina di dischi, ha studiato ad ...
Jim Black Trio: The Constant
by Vincenzo Roggero
The Constant, ossia la forma canzone come costante nella scrittura che Jim Black mette in campo in questo terzo lavoro del trio completato dal giovane talento Elias Stemeseder al pianoforte e da quello già ampiamente riconosciuto di Thomas Morgan al contrabbasso.

Il meglio del 2016 secondo Libero Farnè
by Libero Farnè
Che dire? Annata mossa con brio, intrigante se si ha la curiosità di setacciare fra le varie edizioni discografiche, che ormai non sono più espressione di un mercato orientato e condizionante. Ottime conferme (Henry Threadgill, The Claudia Quintet, Franco D'Andrea...), ma anche novità di spessore da batteristi sempre più di riferimento (Jaimeo Brown, Matt Wilson...) e ...

Josh Ison: Perceive React
by Budd Kopman
The road to saxophonist Josh Ison's debut recording Perceive React is a very interesting one of connecting up with and finding players whom one admires, asking them to take part in a recording session, their acceptance, and finally their meeting for the first time and clicking impressively.Ison had been concentrating on finding the core ...
Stephan Crump: Stephan Crump's Rhombal
by Mark Corroto
Often times, a jazz performance without a chordal instrument, a guitar or piano, is considered to be flying without a net. Exciting, but often without aim. It routinely relies on just one powerful figure to command the proceedings. That is, unless the ensemble is configured under egalitarian principles. Equal contribution and respect for the differing voices ...
Stephan Crump: Stephan Crump's Rhombal
by Glenn Astarita
During the advent of bop and the hot n' heavy mainstream swing years, a session with a stellar lineup of critically acclaimed musicians would often be referred to as the [insert magazine name] Critics' Poll All-Stars or something like John Doe and his Jazz All-Stars. However, venerable bassist Stephan Crump underscores the premise of this album ...
