Aruan Ortiz Quartet: Orbiting
by Steve Bryant
On an island known for its extensive array of virtuoso pianists, Cuban-born Aruan Ortiz distinguishes himself from the pack by a transcendent approach to his instrument, and an encyclopedic knowledge of styles ranging from traditional Afro- Cuban and classical to bop. He's also a prolific composer. Having roared into New York City and taken it by ...
Matteo Sabattini: Metamorpho
by Ian Patterson
Jazz can broadly be divided into that which mines the past for inspiration and that which doesn't. Alto saxophonist Matteo Sabattini demonstrated on Dawning (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2011)--his debut as leader for the Catalan label--that he's an unabashed modernist. Sabattini and his New York Quintet take an unhurried approach to these ten compositions where melodic ...
Mara Rosenbloom Quartet: Songs from the Ground
by Glenn Astarita
Pianist Mara Rosenbloom frames her second album on personal recollections encapsulating childhood, family matters, and challenging situations. Therefore, the idealization for this outing is not merely steeped within an austere band approach. Taken from this perspective, her musicality embeds or perhaps synchronizes a form of melodic goodness with a traumatic periphery. Rosenbloom's brand ...

Tony Malaby/ Per-Oscar Nilsson / Johnny Aman / Peter Nilsson: 9 Stygn
by Eyal Hareuveni
The sophomore release of Swedish guitarist Per-Oscar Nilsson strengthens his ties with American jazz. His debut, Now! (Connective, 2010), with his own group, featured saxophonist Marcus Strickland. 9 Stygn, recorded a year later, features Nilsson as the main composer for a quartet comprised of saxophonist Tony Malaby and fellow Malmö bassist Johnny Åman, who collaborated with ...
Matteo Sabattini: Metamorpho
by AAJ Italy Staff
Quando si finisce di ascoltare il nuovo disco di Matteo Sabattini, la prima cosa che rimane impressa è l'attenzione alla scomposizione ritmica. Questa ricerca quasi ossessiva sembra essere il filo rosso, l'intento progettuale che unisce la maggior parte delle composizioni. Questo non significa che Sabattini ci abbia propinato una serie di esercizi di stile, perché, per ...
Jeff Davis: Leaf House
by AAJ Italy Staff
Jeff Davis è tra i batteristi più richiesti della scena newyorchese e le sue collaborazioni riguardano nomi eccellenti della nuova ondata proveniente dalla grande mela quali Kirk Knuffke, Landon Knoblock, Kris Davis, Jon Irabagon, Eivind Opsvik per citarne alcuni. Davis è anche interessante compositore tant'è che il CD di debutto, We Sleep Outside, uscito per Loyal ...
Jeff Davis: Leaf House
by Glenn Astarita
Experimental drummer Jeff Davis leads a formidable piano trio that goes against the grain, as it gels to diametric pulses and opposing metrics. Abetted by pianist Russ Lossing's hammering block chords and off-center rhythmic improvisations, Davis elevates, prods and generates cyclonic intensity, yet shades or tempers the momentum during the album's introspective moments. His holistic approach ...
