Rudresh Mahanthappa: Gamak
by Mark Corroto
Did saxophonist John Coltrane have any idea of the consequence of dipping his toes into the music of India in the 1960s? Not only did he introduce jazz to new harmonic structures, but he marshaled the forces of jazz, perhaps, to ingurgitate world music. While the repercussions of Coltrane's spiritual journey are still being felt, what ...
Rudresh Mahanthappa: Gamak
by Mark F. Turner
Alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa continues to avoid stereotypes, whether pushing the envelope with his acoustic ensembles or including electronic colorations in 2011's Samdhi (ACT). With Gamak, his unique blend of progressive jazz and Indian music is still evolving. The added twist here is not only a reunion with the magnificent rhythm section of bassist Francois Moutin ...

by Chris M. Slawecki
It was a long time coming, but for singer Erin Dickins, recording her debut solo album Nice Girls (Champagne Records, 2010) proved well worth the wait.Several musical lifetimes ago, Dickins was a founding member of Manhattan Transfer and appears on their first album, Jukin' (Capitol, 1971).

Pilc - Moutin - Hoenig: Threedom
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il titolo del CD è quanto mai appropriato nell'indicare la libera interazione tra i tre musicisti, che va dalla composizione al sound di gruppo. Questo nuovo progetto è forse l'esito più avvincente di una liaison musicale intrapresa nel 1995 dove Pilc opera una originale opera di sintesi tra il proprio sostrato culturale legato all'Europa ed il ...
Bunky Green: Urgency and Continuity
by Anil Prasad
Saxophonist Bunky Green bristles at the idea of playing by the rules. On more than one occasion, the Milwaukee, Wisconsin native was on his way to jazz stardom, but each time his principles guided him elsewhere. This is a significant reason why the highly influential musician has mostly remained unsung and out of the spotlight for ...

Ari Hoenig: Lines of Oppression
by John Kelman
When Bill Evans began building trios that represented a collaboration of equals rather than soloist accompanied by rhythm section, it's unlikely the late pianist could have envisioned the way Jean-Michel Pilc, bassist François Moutin and drummer Ari Hoenig wowed fans at a 2011 Ottawa International Jazz Festival performance. Bringing new meaning to the phrase “egalitarian," each ...
