Giuseppe Venezia: I've Been Waiting For You
by Neil Duggan
One of the crucial abilities for a jazz bassist is to blend a group together; regardless of who is playing or soloing, they usually provide rhythmic or harmonic support. So when a bassist acts as leader, they have an intriguing viewpoint around which instrument should play when, and how to structure ensemble compositions for best effect. ...
Michael Sarian: Live at Cliff Bell's
by Richard J Salvucci
This is music for the adventurous, especially those with the ears to deal with unusual harmonies. Michael Sarian is a now-Canadian trumpet player in the mold of Enrico Rava. His gift is his sound: dark, burnished, probing, even tentative at times. He is fond of half-valve expeditions into the upper register, which, if executed properly, can ...
Michael Sarian: Live at Cliff Bell's
by Dan Bilawsky
On March 30, 2023, Michael Sarian rolled into Detroit landmark Cliff Bell's with horn in hand. In the midst of a spring tour, that particular venue and evening provided an opportunity for the trumpeter and his bandmates--pianist Santiago Leibson, bassist Marty Kenney and drummer Nathan Ellman-Bell--to do what they do best. Working through new material and ...
Un giorno nuovo per Giovanni Guidi
by Libero Farnè
Quando nell'aprile 2021 intervistai Giovanni Guidi per questa rivista, concludemmo analizzando i suoi progetti musicali di allora, in particolare il giovane gruppo “italiano" Little Italy e quello “internazionale" che tributò un omaggio alla musica di Gato Barbieri. Nel 2021, oltre a Ojos De Gato, edito dalla CAM Jazz, uscirono anche due lavori in duo, uno con ...
Deron Johnson, Enrico Rava, Star Rover, Jake Long & More

Happy listening! Playlist ...
Evita Polidoro: Nerovivo
by Vincenzo Roggero
Per chi ne volesse individuare a tutti i costi un pedigree jazzistico, basterebbero il quartetto europeo di Dee Dee Bridgewater e i Fearless Five di Enrico Rava a darne testimonianza. Ma Evita Polidoro, giovane batterista, talento cristallino del panorama musicale italiano, non si lascia imbrigliare da questioni di forma, di etichette e di generi, troppo curiosa, ...
Tomasz Stańko Quartet: September Night
by Alberto Bazzurro
Una musica sospesa, carica di pathos, magari sempre un po' uguale a se stessa (all'interno di questo album, che viene da lontano, essendo stato inciso addirittura nel 2004, ma più in generale nell'ultima produzione di Tomasz Stanko), ma in possesso di un potere seduttivo immutato, e peraltro con periodiche impennate (per esempio in “Euforila," ma anche ...
Umbria Jazz 2024
by Libero Farnè
Varie sedi Umbria Jazz 2024 Perugia 12--21 luglio 2024 Partecipare a Umbria Jazz significa per me affrontare un'esperienza non solo frastornante, per la molteplicità di stimoli che si ricevono nei diversi luoghi della città e in ogni ora del giorno, ma anche anomala, per certi versi schizofrenica. Da un lato ci ...
Fred Hersch: Silent, Listening
by Chris May
It took Fred Hersch a long time to begin recording for ECM--four decades and 17 Grammy nominations since his first own-name album--but when he arrived he did so in style. The Song Is You (ECM, 2022), a duo recording with flugelhornist Enrico Rava, reviewed here, was quietly sensational. The word “recalibration" is often wheeled out when ...
Maurizio Minardi: Invisible
by Neil Duggan
Success, if it is attained, comes quickly to only a small minority of musicians. Being in the right place at the right time is often a major factor. Others have a longer journey, one that involves a gradual refinement of their craft over a range of projects. It may take more time, but those experiences can ...
