Owen Howard: Time Cycles

Read "Time Cycles" reviewed by A. Henkin


There are many precedents for the drummer-led album: Art Blakey, Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, Joe Chambers, Jack DeJohnette--and that is just naming the American contingent working (generally) within the tradition. Owen Howard's new album is difficult to place squarely within the oeuvre of any of the above players and that is as it should be. Across ...

Taylor Haskins: Metaview

Read "Metaview" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


C’è buon funk che si mescola con il jazz moderno nell'ultimo CD di Taylor Haskins. Dopo moltissime partecipazioni da comprimario, arriva il secondo lavoro a nome di questo trombettista del New Hampshire. In Metaview i quattro compagni di viaggio del leader si adattano bene alle esigenze di Haskins, che ha composto e arrangiato tutte le tracce ...

Frank Carlberg: State of the Union

Read "State of the Union" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Questo gruppo potrebbe essere definito il quintetto stabile di Frank Carlberg visto che, salvo minime variazioni, opera ed incide dal lontano 1996. Oltre al leader, pianista e compositore di origine finlandese, membri stabili sono il notevole sassofonista Chris Cheek e la cantante di origine indiana Christine Correa. L’ensemble si muove, quindi, a meraviglia e con grande ...

Samo Salamon NYC Quintet: Government Cheese

Read "Government Cheese" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza


Guitarist Samo Salamon creates his music in the cast of his band, the stylistic differences coming to life in the particular conglomeration. A man of many musical parts, he can take rock and meld it with jazz, let it swing and let it move with an agile sweetness. He can let structure loose from composition to ...

John O'Gallagher's Axiom: Line of Sight

Read "Line of Sight" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Spesso i parametri ritmici di una composizione influenzano direttamente l’andamento melodico e la natura delle improvvisazioni. Sopra un beat spezzato, una figurazione divisa in due o tre parti, il tema si inarca, si distende, acquista un andamento obliquo. E’ il caso di molti brani di questo Line of Sight, del gruppo Axiom diretto dal sassofonista John ...

Mikkel Ploug Group Featuring Mark Turner: Mikkel Ploug Group

Read "Mikkel Ploug Group" reviewed by Elliott Simon


With recent appearances at the North Sea Jazz Festival and other more intimate venues, guitarist Mikkel Ploug's star has been ascending--not only in his native Denmark, but also in various overlapping international jazz circles. Last year, he received his BTA with a two-month residency in New York City, and in the process made some interesting musical ...

Owen Howard: Time Cycles

Read "Time Cycles" reviewed by Martin Gladu


Rhythm is all, goes one jazz adage. But when drummer/composer/leaders abuse their privilege, their projects often fall short by grabbing knowing listeners with overly technical and acrobatic demonstrations of mere rhythmic savoir faire. When these performances are thoughtfully conceived and rendered with maturity, such recordings have the potential of winning over audiences. In Owen Howard, the ...

Samo Salamon NYC Quintet: Government Cheese

Read "Government Cheese" reviewed by John Kelman


It's may be possible to define an artist by the company he/she keeps, but the harsher economics of the 21st Century jazz world make it an axiom that doesn't always hold true. It's not difficult to enlist big-name artists on a recording if one has the cash. Still, it's a positive sign when first encounters turn ...

David Smith Quintet: Circumstance

Read "Circumstance" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


È questo un ottimo disco, che ben rappresenta la brillante cifra espressiva di David Smith, emergente trombettista della scena jazz canadese. Il suo è un fraseggio spezzato e frastagliato al servizio di una sonorità calda e rotonda. Con un solismo magnificamente in equilibrio tra tradizione e contemporaneità, oscillante tra la nervosa spigolosità del linguaggio post-boppistico e ...

Bill Carrothers: Shine Ball

Read "Shine Ball" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il CD targato Fresh Sound New Talent che non ti aspetti. L'etichetta spagnola ci aveva abituato a produzioni aperte ai linguaggi contemporanei, ma tutto sommato solidamente inserite nella tradizione. Shine Ball è invece un album interamente costituito da improvvisazioni estemporanee. Nulla di scritto, la musica che si sviluppa interamente nel momento. E quindi, ampio spazio ad ...
