Mike Baggetta: Spectre
by Mark F. Turner
Mike Baggetta has produced a number of quality recordings over the years yet Spectre may be his most compelling project to date. The guitarist delves into some “live" sound processing which include an array of delicate textures, sampling and loops undoubtedly influenced by ECM recording artist David Torn who mastered this release. Though ...
Victor Gould: Clockwork
by Dan Bilawsky
There are lots of moving parts that make clocks tick. Each has its own function, harmoniously aligned with the others, and every single one helps to sustain the very concepts of time and flow. The analogy can clearly be drawn from these mechanisms behind timepieces to jazz in general, but it's rarely as obvious to the ...
Sebastian Noelle: Shelter
by Budd Kopman
Guitarist Sebastian Noelle is a very busy player, but just does not make many records, which seem to come about every five years: Across The River (2006), Koan (2011) and now the marvelous Shelter. Assembling a first rate band consisting of Marc Mommaas on tenor saxophone (heard most recently on Ballads And Standards), pianist ...
Eden Bareket Trio: Choice
by Karl Ackermann
Buenos Aires native and baritone saxophonist Eden Bareket is new to the New York jazz scene but demand has been growing for his presence as a sideman. Having played with the Ari Hoenig Nonet, he has worked prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. Choice is his debut recording with, Or ...
Megumi Yonezawa Trio: A Result of the Colors
by Tyran Grillo
Those outside of New York City, where Megumi Yonezawa currently resides, may only recognize the Japanese pianist, if anywhere, as sidewoman for Greg Osby (see 2004's Public on Blue Note), who brought her onboard following an enthusiastic endorsement from none other than Jason Moran. It was in Osby's band that she developed a rapport with drummer ...
Albert Vila: The Unquiet Sky
by Edward Blanco
Belgium-based Spanish jazz guitarist Albert Vila delivers his fourth album as leader with The Unquiet Sky, offering a tad more music than a standard album with a presentation of fourteen original compositions of modern-styled jazz that's quite appealing. There's little question whose recording this is as the leader's electric guitar voice becomes the center-piece of the ...
Peter Van Huffel - Alex Maksymiw: Kronix
by Glenn Astarita
Hailing from Canada, but now calling Berlin home base, saxophonist Peter Van Huffel and guitarist Alex Maksymiw (Marcus Strickland) are radiant stars in the progressive jazz universe. As a solo artist, Van Huffel's Gorilla Mask band and similar undertakings have been wowing jazz audiences with a high-impact and kinetic modus operandi. And Maksymiw's Without a Word ...
John O’ Gallagher: The Honeycomb
by Maurizio Zerbo
Da Charlie Parker ad Ornette Coleman, fino al jazz groove contemporaneo. Si potrebbe definire così l'itinerario del viaggio sonoro proposto dall'alto sassofonista newyorchese John O'Gallagher. Il free-bop messo in atto dal suo affiatatissimo trio è sintetizzato da “Extralogical Railman," che rielabora un celebre standard ("Relaxin' at Camarillo") di Bird. Del nucleo tematico preesistente viene cambiato tutto ...
Yago Vazquez/Scott Lee/Jeff Hirshfield: Stream
by Budd Kopman
The “New Talent" on the very fine Fresh Sound New Talent release, Stream, is pianist Yago Vazquez, who hails from Spain, but who moved to NYC in 2008 to study at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music where he graduated with honors in 2010. His band mates in this cooperative piano trio are long ...
Daniel Fortin: Brinks
by Dave Wayne
Toronto-based bassist Daniel Fortin is best known for his work in MYRIAD3, a dynamic, forward-looking piano trio whose work superficially resembles that of The Bad Plus and the Esbjörn Svensson Trio in that they're young guys in a piano trio who don't play jazz the way most piano trios play jazz. Fortin's solo debut, Brinks is ...
