Lauren Kinsella: In Between Every Line
by Ian Patterson
It may be that the voice is the most difficult instrument to improvise with, judging by the relatively small number of improvising vocalists out there. Jazz singers who scat are common enough, but only the best are able to breathe life into a style that has become rather formulaic over the past century. Lauren Kinsella (the ...
Francesca Han: Ascetic
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
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
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: In Pursuit of Ecstasy
by Ian Patterson
It has often been said that composer/harpsichordist/violinist Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was the first jazz musician.

Numerous are the jazz musicians who have also studied classical music, usually prior to shifting to jazz. Few, however, are those who have taken a ...

Francesco Turrisi: Fotographia
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 ...
