Dave Douglas & Brass Ecstasy: Spirit Moves
by John Kelman
With his post-Milesian quintet now in its eighth year and his electronica-informed Keystone group in its fourth, anyone familiar with trumpeter Dave Douglas knows that it's about time for something different. With a line-up that puts a new twist on an old concept, Spirit Moves is Douglas at his funnest. With nothing but horns and drums, ...

Fly: Sky & Country
by Mark Corroto
Oh, the modesty of the members of the trio known as Fly. They might just as well have called themselves Super Fly--their initial release for ECM Records is indeed special. Saxophonist Mark Turner, bassist Larry Grenadier, and drummer Jeff Ballard all contribute compositions to Sky & Country, which follows their debut, FLY (Savoy, 2004), ...
The Inside Out Band: Enrico Rava Quintet at Birdland
by Eric Benson
Enrico Rava QuintetBirdlandNew York, NYMarch 25, 2009 Before last Wednesday night, I'd never found the work of Italian pianist Stefano Bollani particularly compelling. Sure, he had that pristine touch, Evans-eque in its haunting elegance, but on albums such as his own Solo Piano and Enrico Rava's Tati, his playing sounded ...
Steve Lacy: The Forest and the Zoo
by Henry Smith
Soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's impressive career was filled with many benchmarks, but 1966's The Forest and the Zoo is surely one of his strongest. Having corrected the erroneous phasing on the original release of the album, this reissue sees the two side-long quartet works sounding better than ever. Playing no small part ...

Enrico Rava: New York Days
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'incipit di New York Days ci mette direttamente in contatto con la storia di Enrico Rava. Una sottile, tenace linea collega questo lavoro ad un altro splendido disco del trombettista, dal titolo Ah, registrato nel 1979 con Franco D'Andrea, Giovanni Tommaso e Bruce Ditmas, pubblicato con una memorabile copertina di Michelangelo Pistoletto, prodotto dal compianto Thomas ...
Umbria Jazz Winter in Orvieto, Italy
by Thomas Conrad
Umbria Jazz Winter, 16th EditionOrvieto, ItalyDecember 30, 2008 - January 4, 2009 Umbria Jazz Winter has a very different vibe from the huge Umbria Jazz summer festival in Perugia. It is too cold for all-night conga parties in the piazzas. There is more intimacy and more concentration on the music. The winter sunlight ...
Enrico Rava: New York Days
by John Kelman
In assessing Enrico Rava's lengthy career, while it is clear that he is still reaching for the unattainable, in recent years the Italian trumpeter's context has been considerably more centrist. Easy Living (ECM, 2004) and The Words and the Days (ECM, 2007) were undeniably mainstream, albeit with an unmistakable European and, at times, Mediterranean bent. New ...
