Francesca Han: Ascetic

Read "Ascetic" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Coming just a few months after the striking Illusion (Audioguy, 2012)--a vibrant trio recording featuring guest trumpeter Ralph Alessi--pianist Francesca Han's first recorded foray into the world of solo piano reveals a musician in a rich vein of form indeed. Stemming from the Illusion sessions, eight of the ten tracks are the fruit of an impromptu ...

Diatribe Records: Heart and Soul of the Music

Read "Diatribe Records: Heart and Soul of the Music" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Whilst Ireland has long produced music of world renown, this tiny, most Westerly European nation has never been quite so famous for producing cutting edge jazz. However, as European jazz has gradually let slip the American accent--an evolution that perhaps gathered its greatest momentum with the birth of the ECM label--so, too, in Ireland, a new ...

Francesco Turrisi: Fotografia

Read "Fotografia" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Nuovo interessante lavoro di Francesco Turrisi, pianista torinese trasferitosi in Irlanda e eccellente tessitore di musiche diverse. Dopo Sì dolce è il tormento, su ispirazione di musiche seicentesche e con un ensemble assai curioso, qui lo troviamo in un classico trio piano-basso-batteria, a suonare, però, cose tutt'altro che scontate. L'ispirazione anche stavolta viene in parte dalla ...

Francesco Turrisi: Fotographia

Read "Fotographia" reviewed by Greg Simmons


Encouraging experimentation is the lifeblood of jazz. It keeps the music vital and ensures that new voices get to have their say. The minute the music becomes a museum relic, played through a fixed, orthodox interpretation, is the moment it dies an ignominious death. Thank goodness, then, for musicians like pianist Francesco Turrisi, who embraces creative ...

Francesco Turrisi: Fotografia

Read "Fotografia" reviewed by Ian Patterson


It would be simplistic to call pianist Francesco Turrisi an experimenter, though his music embraces myriad cultural influences, from his native Italy through the length and breadth of the Mediterranean, straddling the centuries, and imbibing from sources as diverse as baroque, Moorish airs and jazz; simplistic, because his music flows as naturally as a river follows ...
