Trio ELF: Amsterdam

Read "Amsterdam" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

One aspect of German pianist Walter Lang's artistry involves his work in the traditional piano trio format, evinced on stellar recordings like Eurasia (M & I Records, 2009) and Softly As In A Morning Sunrise (Nagel Heyer, 2005). His approach here comes out of the Bill Evans school of the piano trio, with a light and ...

Vana Gierig: Making Memories

Read "Making Memories" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

German-born, New York-based pianist Vana Gierig was making memorable music long before Making Memories came into existence. This Berklee and New England Conservatory-trained ivory tickler has been turning heads with his own work, and through sideman stints with everybody from über-hip cabaret singer Ute Lemper to violinist Regina Carter, for quite some time, but no single ...

Florian Weber: Biosphere

Read "Biosphere" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Il pianista Florian Weber dà alle stampe, insieme al suo quartetto, un lavoro dalle diverse sfaccettature stilistiche e formali. Questo grazie a un approccio alla meteria sonora privo di preconcetti e limiti di repertorio. Biosphere passa difatti da una serie di originali molto introspettivi e dagli andamenti irregolari, come le iniziali “Filaments" e “Casimir Effect" dalle ...

Rez Abbasi Trio: Continuous Beat

Read "Continuous Beat" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

In the 17 years since Rez Abbasi released Third Ear (Cathexis, 1995), the Pakistan-born, American-raised guitarist hasn't just covered a lot of ground, he's gone from an undoubtedly talented but somewhat vanilla player to one with a distinct voice and approach. Starting with Snake Charmer (Earth Sounds, 2005) and Bazaar (Zoho, 2006), Abbasi began to find ...

Circular Dreaming

Read "Circular Dreaming" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Now entering its fourth decade, Quest has covered a lot of territory in that time. Featuring, since inception, saxophonist Dave Liebman and pianist Richie Beirach—truly one of the longest-lasting partnerships in jazz; one marked by an inimitable shared understanding and distinct musical language—Quest's initial approach was perfectly articulated by Storyville's 2010 reissue of the quartet's second ...

Rez Abbasi Trio: Continuous Beat

Read "Continuous Beat" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

Guitarist Rez Abbasi is one of the more prolific modern-era guitarists, calling New York City home but often adhering to his Pakistani roots through the looking-glass of jazz. Other than his impressive chops, he often amalgamates--to varying degrees--an Indo-jazz vibe into his solo outings and session gigs. However, on this plugged-in trio date, Abbasi instills a ...
