The Kevin Brady Trio featuring Bill Carrothers: Zeitgeist
by AAJ Italy Staff
Tradotto dal tedesco, il titolo del disco ("spirito del tempo") è illuminante per capirne il senso e gli obiettivi. Un riflesso fedele della personalità artistica dell'irlandese Kevin Brady. Un artista che sa cogliere i mille rivoli della società post-moderna del suo tempo, per ricavarne suoni ed umori: Bill Evans ed il linguaggio post-boppistico; ma anche la ...
Jason Rigby: The Sage
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dopo le ottime accoglienze avute nel suo esordio da leader (Translucent Space, Fresh Sound), il sassofonista newyorchese conferma d'avere idee chiare e buon talento per organizzarle. The Sage t'avvolge con un'ondata di suoni familiari, fondendo le atmosfere davisiane di fine anni sessanta (Shorter e Hancock soprattutto) con la libertà melodica e armonica di Ornette. Il tutto ...
Mike Baggetta Quartet: Small Spaces
by Bruce Lindsay
New York based guitarist Mike Baggetta has recorded as a band leader before, but Small Spaces is his first CD as the leader of a quartet. This beautifully recorded CD of seven Baggetta originals and one cover, produced by Baggetta himself, shows that his 2009 ASCAP Young Jazz Composer award was well-deserved. Baggetta's ...
Mikkel Ploug Group: Harmoniehof
by Mark F. Turner
Danish guitarist Mikkel Ploug, a rising player in the vein of such contemporaries as Kurt Rosenwinkel and Torben Waldorff, articulates his own vocabulary--one that contains folk, rock, and modern jazz sensibilities.

Jeremy Udden: Plainville
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Saxophonist Jeremy Udden comes armed with heavyweight credentials. He's an alumnus of Russ Gershon's phenomenal Either/Orchestra--his playing among the high points of that ensemble's epochal Ethiopiques 20: Live in Addis (Buda Musique, 2005), a record replete with high points.On this, his second album as a leader, Udden heads far from the Ethiopian sounds of ...
Jeremy Udden: Plainville
by Eyal Hareuveni
Saxophonist Jeremy Udden's sophomore release is a compassionate and happy reflection on his home town of Plainville, in rural southern Massachusetts, and his early and formative musical influences as a boy who was interested in all kinds of music-- indie-rock, alt-country, folk and, later on, jazz. Though this is an emotional journey, arranged in a highly ...
Vinnie Sperrazza: Peak Inn
by Clifford Allen
The piano trio is a medium that became immensely popular with Bill Evans' meteoric rise on the international scene in the '50s and has remained an astonishingly equilateral creative outlet for an extraordinary array of harmonic and rhythmic complexity. However, there aren't a lot of groups taking the chances available to them, instead mining the standard ...
Alon Farber Hagiga Sextet: Optimistic View
by AAJ Italy Staff
Secondo CD per l'Hagiga Sextet, messo in piedi nel 2001 dal sassofonista e compositore Alon Farber e dal batterista Dani Benedikt. Il gruppo è interamente israeliano, ed in Israele ha realizzato questo lavoro, che risente solo in parte delle influenze musicali mediorientali e si ispira più generalmente al jazz contemporaneo. La musica espressa si nutre di ...
