Felipe Salles: Departure
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ascoltare questo nuovo disco - il quinto da leader- di Felipe Salles e insieme scorrerne la tracklist dà una sensazione quasi contraddittoria: come se l'autore si fosse sforzato di mostrare, attraverso i titoli, la sua formazione al contempo eurocolta e jazzistica. Praticamente ogni brano è dedicato ad un compositore oppure richiama un gesto della musica classica: ...
New World Jazz Composers Octet: Breaking News
by Edward Blanco
Eight players does not a big band make, but The New World Jazz Composers Octet is a light ensemble offering an assertive sound reminiscent of a big band production. Boasting a cadre of educators and first-rate musicians, the group manages powerful orchestrations employing an exciting horn section, lively percussion and blistering piano work from Tim Ray ...
New World Jazz Composers Octet: Breaking News
by Hrayr Attarian
Established in 2000, in the spirit of the Mingus Jazz Workshop, the New World Jazz Composer's Octet sounds more like an orchestra than a group of eight musicians.

Felipe Salles: South American Suite
by Elliott Simon
Rapidly changing rhythms, crisp ensemble playing, a broad sonic feel and unique voicings define South American Suite, an adventurously composed look at Brazilian music from multireedist/flutist Felipe Salles. While he draws on Brazilian music, Salles eschews the breezy bossa beats that are typically associated with that country's jazz intercourse. Instead, he utilizes lesser-known styles such as ...
Felipe Salles: South American Suite
by Jay Deshpande
Modern jazz is a virtuoso's art. More often than not, it's the capacity of the soloist that we listen for. And even though jazz is fundamentally about communication and the assemblage of sounds that forms a band, listeners get caught up in what the single voice can accomplish, whether it's a sax, guitar, or vibraphone.
