Myriam Alter: Crossways
by John Ephland
There's a soulful melancholy to much of this music. Composer/pianist Myriam Alter has created yet another collection of her songs that have the potential to evoke feelings of yearning, sadness and perhaps a deep buried joy with Crossways. Akin to a previous outing on enja, the elegiac Where Is There, Crossways can be heard as a ...

Renaud Garcia-Fons Trio: Arcoluz
by Jerry D'Souza
Renaud Garcia-Fons brings a rare passion and understanding to the bass. His approach is pure genius, seen in the way he styles his pizzicato and in the manner he opens the arco to encompass melodic and improvisatory richness. Garcia-Fons began playing the bass when he was 16, gravitating to the instrument from ...
Arcoluz

> Renaud Garcia-Fons Trio ArcoluzEnja/Justin Time2005 Bassist Renaud Garcia Fons hears music polyphonically--in using this term, it is hoped that you will “read" it as the Greeks had intended it to be understood: as music “having many sounds or voices." Listening to almost any of the music ...
Alvin Queen: I Ain´t Looking at You
by AAJ Italy Staff
Per gli appassionati di vecchie registrazioni di (o con) Jimmy Smith ecco un'incisione del batterista veterano Alvin Queen, insieme ad alcuni “giovani (ma neanche troppo) leoni" del genere bop.

Michy Mano: The Cool Side of the Pillow
by Jim Santella
World music reminds us that every corner of the globe has its own particular sound. Instruments differ, languages differ, elements such as harmony and rhythm differ, but it's all music. The power of our universal language cannot be understated. Michy Mano sings about sociology and politics, personality and emotion, good fortune and bad. He ...
Michy Mano: The Cool Side of the Pillow
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
The Cool Side of the Pillow brings together singer and sentir player Michy Mano and Oslo DJ Bugge Wesseltoft to create a work of musical fusion that is accomplished, hip, witty, but ultimately less than the sum of its parts. Those parts--Moroccan popular styles and Norwegian electronica--do not mix as readily as you might suppose. Start ...
