PLS.trio: East River
by Karl Ackermann
The acronym that gives name to the PLS. trio is from the very gifted young Italian pianist/composer Pier Luigi Salami.

Myriad3: The Where
by Angelo Leonardi
Dopo il notevole debutto di due anni fa con Tell, il piano trio canadese torna con un avventuroso lavoro, che evidenzia personalità in una formula strumentale che sembrava aver espresso ormai tutto, senza lasciare altri margini creativi. Se quell'esordio s'ispirava al trio EST di Esbjörn Svensson ora la ricerca si fa più autonoma, ponendo in essere ...
Neil Cowley Trio: Touch and Flee
by Vic Albani
Benedetto dalla “sacra incisione" della Naim britannica (titolare di uno dei grandi saperi della filosofia high-end nel campo dell'alta fedeltà), ecco il nuovo lavoro di Neil Cowley con il suo fedele trio. Vale a dire un altro di quei grandi nomi della musica britannica moderna, in concreto misconosciuto al di fuori dell'isola per eccellenza. Da anni ...

Tord Gustavsen: Extended Circle
by Libero Farnè
In una certa tradizione ECM questo disco ci propone una delle più rappresentative espressioni del jazz scandinavo, un'immagine nordica impressionistica, nitidamente caratterizzata, per altro contraddetta da tante altre esperienze “forti," nate a quelle latitudini nell'ultimo ventennio. Le composizioni sono prevalentemente del leader: “Staying There" può ricordare le collaborazioni fra Keith Jarrett e Jan Garbarek degli anni ...

Azure: Hiptronics
by Ian Patterson
Such is the musical shift between Azure's When She Smiles (Azuremusic, 2009) and Hiptronics that they sound like different bands; effectively, they are. The main songwriter, classically influenced pianist Pierre-Francois Blanchard has been replaced by keyboardist Federico Solazzo and only co-founder, guitarist Rogier Schneemann remains from the original group, which has grown to a quintet with ...

Marcin Wasilewski Trio with Joakim Milder: Spark of Life
by Karl Ackermann
At about the same time Louis Armstrong was “inventing" modern improvised jazz--Poland was already immersed in a jazz tradition that included American influences and an ethnic take on swing. Despite bouts with repressive regimes that sent jazz underground, Poland continued to be a progressive haven for the form. Through the 1950s and 1960s pianist/composer Krzysztof Komeda ...
