Laurent Coq / Walter Smith III: The LaFayette Suite
by Mark F. Turner
In The LaFayette Suite, two exceptional musicians--French pianist Laurent Coq and American saxophonist Walter Smith III--continue the spirit of collaboration which interestingly enough began around 1777 between French nobleman / military officer Marquis de Lafayette and President George Washington during the American Revolutionary War. In a suite funded by the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation and the ...
Richard Galliano: Sentimentale
by Neri Pollastri
Disco “quasi" di jazz per un Richard Galliano passato dalla musette al tango, da Ron Carter a Michel Portal, da Bach alla canzone d'autore, da Wynton Marsalis al trio con Larry Grenadier e Clarence Penn. Ma che qui, assieme ad altri due strumenti armonici--il pianoforte di Tamir Hendelman e la chitarra di Anthony Wilson, peraltro entrambi ...
Daniel - Galichet - Metzger: Killing Spree
by Glenn Astarita

Là aveva avuto occasione di collaborare con vari musicisti, in primis con Aldo Romano ed Emmanuel Bex--con i quali aveva formato il fortunato Bizart trio--ma ...
André Jaume 4tet: Smthg Close to Smthg
by Alberto Bazzurro
Anzitutto una necessaria premessa: la strana sigla ripetuta nel titolo sta per “something" (quindi Something Close to Something) e rimanda a un vecchio album di André Jaume intitolato appunto Something e datato 1990 che sta alla base dell'incontro fra il polistrumentista marsigliese (qui in realtà solo tenorsassofonista) e il chitarrista (ma a sua volta anche polistrumentista) ...
Three contrasting Bertrand Denzler releases
by John Eyles
It seems that Swiss-born tenor saxophonist Bertrand Denzler is already involved in so many contrasting groupings that he would have no need to be joining or creating yet more. Active groupings of which he is a member include Hubbub, Mark Wastell's The Seen, Trio Sowari, Zoor, plus a trio with Eddie Prevost and John Edwards. Some ...
