Braff Blaser Duo: YaY
by AAJ Italy Staff
Che strana combinazione! Un pianista brasiliano ed un trombonista svizzero. La terra del sole e del samba, dell'esuberanza e delle trasgressioni del carnevale di Rio, delle favelas e delle garote de Ipanema incontra la rigorosità fatta sistema, la neutralità non solo militare ma anche come filosofia di vita. Ma, si sa, a volte sono proprio le ...
Roger Mas 5et: Mason
by Farrell Lowe
Pianist Roger Mas presents a conundrum with Mason. Here is an album expertly executed, well-recorded, and filled with technical detail, but possessing a stark patina that takes time to rub away in order to reveal the core of the music. While there are glimmering moments of improvisational fire, the overall feel is rather mysterious. Perhaps Mas' ...
Greg Ruggiero: Balance
by Farrell Lowe
With Balance, guitarist Greg Ruggiero makes it clear that he is an artist with something to say, both through his instrument and his writing. This is not to imply that the music is a template for showy pyrotechnics, but rather a display of subtle technique and thoughtful composition. His pieces have the dynamic feel and grace ...
Kris Davis: Rye Eclipse
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ecco un talento da seguire con attenzione. La pianista canadese Kris Davis opera a New York dagli inizi del decennio e dopo una prima fase legata a modelli neo-bop (evidente nel suo primo disco, Lifespan), ha iniziato ad esplorare territori più aperti, formando questo quartetto nel 2002 con il marito batterista Jeff Davis, il formidabile sassofonista ...
Dave Allen: Real and Imagined
by Farrell Lowe
Dave Allen's sophomore effort provides nine more of his original compositions to absorb and enjoy. Real and Imagined is filled to the brim with music that is an intricate and flowing tapestry of lyricism and cinematic environments. As a guitarist, Allen readily shows he is of the same pedigree as some of his peers (Ben Monder, ...
Jason Rigby: The Sage
by Troy Collins
New York-based saxophonist Jason Rigby's sophomore effort, The Sage, is the follow-up to his much-heralded premier as a leader, Translucent Space (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2006). Featuring the core members of his debut's nonet, this forceful quintet session traverses the exploratory electro-acoustic sound world of early fusion, the muscularity of hard bop, and the spacious freedom ...
Giulia Valle Group: Danza Imprevista
by Farrell Lowe
How refreshing and inspiring it is to hear a recording like Danza Imprevista. The level of musicianship, sincerity, and compositional verve is immediately apparent from the opening notes of the opening track. Here is an excellent example of a quintet speaking as one voice. The commitment that this group brings to these compositions is what brings ...
Joao Lencastre: Communion One!
by Farrell Lowe
Drummer Joao Lencastre's Communion One! opens with Ornette Coleman's “Lonely Woman.". It is a curious and interesting take on the tune, starting with a piano cadenza and introduction to the melody, then the opening builds slowly with bass, drums, and guitar. Finally, the theme is stated anew on trumpet with a rather bugle-like tone and approach. ...
Aaron Irwin Group: Blood and Thunder
by AAJ Italy Staff
I musicisti coinvolti in questa incisione, in particolar modo gli ormai affermati Chris Cheek e Ben Monder e il meno noto Aaron Irwin, oltre a essere stati lanciati a livello internazionale dalla Fresh Sound/New Talent, vantano con la label catalana una lunga frequentazione testimoniata da numerose incisioni. E’ logico quindi che Blood and Thunder si inserisca ...
