Mike Baggetta Quartet: Source Material
by Mark F. Turner
Guitarist Mike Baggetta's versatility has been in the thick of New York's creative music scene, whether performing with Tom Harrell or front-lining projects like Bridges (MabnotesMusic, 2011), a duo recording with trumpeter Kris Tiner. Source Material is Baggetta's follow up to 2009's Small Spaces (Fresh Sound), with a working quartet that includes robust sax work from ...
Gerald Cleaver: Uncle June: Be It As I See It
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sarà anche un'ovvietà, ma l'occhio di Horus ci ricorda tanto Sun Ra e il suo misticismo solareggiante, anche se, in questo terzo disco di Cleaver, “Sonny" Blount e la sua mitologia cosmica forse hanno lasciato il segno in un gusto dell'arcano (l'occhio accostato alle foto di famiglia, i simboli della copertina interna e l'enigmatico testo della ...

Rafal Sarnecki: The Madman Rambles Again
by Greg Simmons
The Madman Rambles Again is a counterintuitive name for such a carefully constructed album. The compositions feature layered, periodically angular melodies, showing off tight arrangements and a serious dramatic flair. Far from being a madman, guitarist Rafal Sarnecki is a decidedly forward-looking leader with an intense aesthetic on this sophomore effort. Instrumental leadership is ...
Christoph Siegrist: Welcome To The Blue World
by Dan Bilawsky
Trumpeter Christoph Siegrist's Blue World is not the world of the blues. Instead, the Swedish-born horn man populates this realm with songs that expand the modern language of jazz by using solid, yet moving, rhythmic tides and angular horn lines that join together or swoop around one another. Siegrist's primary partner in crime is tenor saxophonist ...
Albert Vila: Tactile
by Dan Bilawsky
Barcelona-based guitarist Albert Vila doesn't buy into the idea of generic compositions that go down easy, but result in a hunger for more substantial aural nourishment. Vila makes music with the utmost care and concern for texture, taste and dramatic development, and each one of his compositions is a mini-odyssey through his mind. ...

Koptor: Fire Sink
by Jerry D'Souza
Time and space have shaped the life of Kevin Brow. The Canadian-born drummer moved to Toronto when he was 19, and went on to play with some of the best jazz musicians including Mike Murley, Pat LaBarbera and David Braid. Six years later he moved to Copenhagen. This was significant in more ways than one: he ...
Matteo Sabattini: Dawning
by Dan Bilawsky
A sense of melody seems to be sacrificed in a lot of modern jazz these days, as newcomers try to get some press as the next big thing by subscribing to a stranger-is-better aesthetic. Matteo Sabattini is a rare exception, an alto saxophonist whose music is unique in its provision of comfort and a natural sense ...
