Celebrating Blue Note Records 75th With Delicious Vinyl
by Mark Corroto
Everything old is new again. Except of course for the timeless music of Blue Note Records which celebrated its 75th anniversary this year. The recordings Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff produced starting in 1939 have been collector's items since day one. While much of the label's music has been re-released in digital format, CDs and in ...

Double Trio De Clarinettes: Itineraire Bis
by Vic Albani
Benedetti da alcuni illuminati nomi che gestiscono cose importanti del jazz europeo (vedi Philippe Ochem, direttore del Jazz d'Or festival di Strasburgo, Armand Meignan, direttore del festival di Le Mans, Frank Baumann del Goethe Institut di Minsk, l'Istituto di cultura francese dello stesso centro e altri nomi dello stesso calibro) nascono di tanto in tanto progetti ...
Mary LaRose: Reincarnation
by Alberto Bazzurro
Lavoro ben singolare, questo della cantante newyorkese Mary LaRose, che seleziona un carnet di brani decisamente emblematici di un modo di fare jazz (e relativo tessuto temporale), ci mette su dei testi, e li interpreta col prevalente supporto di un quartetto d'archi.

The Cosmosamatics: Jazz-Maalika
by Ian Patterson
The Cosmosamatics--an ever-evolving ensemble co-led by multi-reedists Sonny Simmons and Michael Marcus--was founded in 2000, though the seeds were arguably planted many years earlier. Half a century ago, Simmons was cutting his teeth with multi-reedists Prince Lasha, Eric Dolphy and others of the so-called free jazz movement. Marcus made his name in the avant/free circles of ...

Steven Lugerner: Jericho and San Francisco
by Daniel Lehner
Eric Dolphy once mused, “When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone, in the air. You can never capture it again." Luckily for fellow multi-reedist Steve Lugerner, that's a piece of wisdom that the Bay Area musician did not take at face value. For his release, For We Have Heard, Lugerner devised a means of ...
Michel Edelin Quartet: Resurgence
by Alberto Bazzurro
Pur facendo per ovvi motivi riferimento al veterano flautista Michel Edelin, che ne è il titolare nonché l'autore di tutto il materiale tematico, questo lavoro trae i motivi della propria riuscita più che mai dalla somma delle forze in campo, anche proprio nella loro diversità. Si segnalano specificatamente le presenze di un almeno ...

The Los Angeles jazz scene has no shortage of prodigious talent; on any given night throughout the sprawling landscape that makes up the greater Los Angeles area there is always some exciting happening or unique event, and one is often hard-up to make a decision about where to spend their evening.
