Gary Alesbrook: Jazz In Movies
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
This excellent debut by British trumpeter Gary Alesbrook is notable for four reasons: 1) he's leaping straight from well-known session musician to frontman; 2) he's been playing for 33 years, mostly for high profile, non-jazz bands in the UK like The Super Fuzzy Animals and The Scissor Sisters; 3) while eclectic in his taste and experience, ...
Umbria Jazz 2018 - seconda parte
by Libero Farnè
Umbria Jazz Varie sedi Perugia 13-22.07.2018 Umbria Jazz 2018 ha chiuso i battenti: 1 milione 450 mila euro di incassi da biglietti e merchandising con 35.000 paganti. Numeri invidiabili, da capogiro, anche se un bilancio ragionato fra entrate e uscite richiederebbe un'analisi molto più approfondita. Come abbiamo anticipato nella ...
Enrico Pieranunzi, André Ceccarelli, Diego Imbert: Monsieur Claude. A Travel with Claude Debussy
by Luca Casarotti
È nota la consuetudine di Enrico Pieranunzi con le monografie, segno d'una concezione virtuosa del disco, come esito di una progettualità coerente, e non come mera necessità editoriale: basti pensare ai lavori dedicati a Duke Ellington (Duke's Dream, 2017), a Domenico Scarlatti (Plays Domenico Scarlatti, 2007), a Ennio Morricone (Play Morricone, 2 voll., 2001-2002), a Bill ...
Michael Leonhart: Surfing on an Orchestral Wave
by Ludovico Granvassu
If one were to find an answer to the age-old “nature or nurture" debate, s/he would have to look no further than The Painted Lady Suite [Sunnyside Records]. Listening to the stunning debut album by the Michael Leonhart Orchestra makes it clear that major achievements are only possible when nature and nurture are well integrated and ...
A Six-String Travelogue
by Geno Thackara
Leni Stern 3 Leni Stern Recordings 2018 If it's an exaggeration to say that Leni Stern's gone native after her life-shaping time in Senegal, it's probably not by much. 3 isn't the result of merely studying and and learning a few new forms, but an unrestrained immersion in the life and ...
Ola Kvernberg: Steamdome
by Chris May
Steamdome is one of those albums that defies categorisation. It is part future-jazz, part avant-rock, part deep-house, part electronica, part contemporary-classical. It is the follow-up to Norwegian violinist and film composer Ola Kvernberg's whirlwind The Mechanical Fair (Olsen, 2016). That album was memorably pitched as heralding a “mutton western" genre, and the description also fits Steamdome, ...
Il Sogno: Birthday
by Mark Corroto
I know what you're thinking, the world doesn't need another piano trio. But I say, make way for the next wave. In order for jazz to perpetuate the species it must be continually reborn. New blood and more importantly, new approaches are crucial, lest we all get relegated to Lincoln Center. Exhibit one, Birthday ...
Calexico all'Alcatraz di Milano
by Luca Muchetti
Calexico Alcatraz Milano 14.3.2018 Da un lato e l'altro del confine, per commuoversi ma soprattutto per fare festa. Poco importa che dal vivo non cambino mai troppo gli ingredienti fondamentali di una band che, insieme a un suono fieramente meticcio e di frontiera, negli anni ha ampliato, reinterpretato e attualizzato ...
Nate Birkey: Rome
by Victor L. Schermer
With this listenable and relaxed album, trumpeter Nate Birkey joins with four excellent musicians he hooked up with while playing in Italy to deliver a set of mostly ballads in his signature style with introspective improvising, empathic warmth, and minimal vibrato. His playing here is reminiscent of Bix Beiderbecke, one of Chet Baker's formative influences. The ...
Club d'Elf: Live at Club Helsinki
by Chris M. Slawecki
Club d'Elf and their sprawling live records present a unique challenge to folks who write about them. This double Live at Club Helsinki set reveals every modern style and multiple Moroccan rhythms (except for opera and bluegrass--maybe). But often we want so much to relate or explain these sounds, and there's so much going on in ...
