China Moses: Crazy Blues
by Mehdi El Mouden
Pouring old wine into new bottles has become a specialty of vocalist China Moses and Pianist/Arranger Raphael Lemonnier. Rejuvenating classics with a pint of spirited innovation is a landmark of the duet, who, for their first encounter revisited the best of Dinah Washington, This One's for Dinah.

Vincent Courtois, Daniel Erdmann, Robin Fincker: Mediums
by Anthony Shaw
This album of tunes from the cross-border, French-led trio features many elements of their native approaches to improvised music-- exploratory experimentation on the boundaries of the respective instruments, solo work of a high order, and a strong sense of playfulness. The three instruments concerned are all from the middle range of pitch, as ...
I cubi di Alban Darche
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il sassofonista e compositore di Nantes (dove ha fondato la Yolk, editrice di due dei tre CD qui sotto trattati) Alban Darche è certamente musicista vorace e--diremmo--sorretto da non poca autostima. I suoi progetti ruotano attorno a un concetto “cubico" che è generosamente illustrato dalla sua più recente produzione. Le Cube ...
Jozef Dumoulin: A Fender Rhodes Solo
by Eyal Hareuveni
Belgian keyboards player Jozef Dumoulin describes his new solo album, his first solo album, as the the first solo album in the history of the electric piano, the Fender Rhodes. It is also a culmination of a long exploratory journey into the various, weird, eccentric sonic qualities of this vintage instrument, enhanced with electronic effects.
Momo Kodama: La Vallee Des Cloches
by Hrayr Attarian
Japan-born and France-educated pianist Momo Kodama is perfectly at home on La vallée des cloches, as she brings her signature, sublime approach to the interpretation of three introspective 20th century gems. The compositions go from impressionistic to more abstract, both within themselves and throughout the record. Maurice Ravel's five-movement suite “Miroirs," dedicated to various ...
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 ...
