Due nuove gemme riaprono lo scrigno di Steve Lacy
by Alberto Bazzurro
Ogni nuova occasione per ascoltare materiale inedito o comunque raro di Steve Lacy rappresenta un indiscutibile piacere (fra l'altro neanche poi così frequente), soprattutto per quanti lo reputano uno dei grandi maestri del jazz--diciamo così--post-parkeriano, tutto sommato ancora non adeguatamente messo a fuoco nel suo reale valore (e chissà se mai lo sarà). I due album ...
Steve Lacy Quintet: Last Tour
by John Eyles
As its title says, this album dates from Steve Lacy's last tour, which ran from the summer of 2003 in NYC through to March 2004 in Boston, (where Lacy was living at the time, as he was teaching at the New England Conservatory of Music).

George Lewis: The George Lewis Solo Trombone Record
by Stefano Merighi
Si può cominciare dalla fine. E dire che la versione di “Lush Life" di Strayhorn è una tra le più belle mai incise. Una carezza lirica, un vibrato felino, in cui Lewis omaggia la tradizione imprescindibile, dopo averla frantumata per tutta la durata di una seduta davvero storica. Solo Trombone Record, anno 1976, ha una forza ...

Hashtag Jazz
by Margret Grebowicz
In his 1994 study Thinking in Jazz: The Infinite Art of Improvisation, Paul Berliner describes American jazz as a community cutting across “boundaries defined by age, class, vocation, and ethnicity" and concludes that “it is their abiding love for the music that binds this diverse population together." (Berliner, 1994, p. 36) Twenty years later, jazz community ...

Mort Weiss: Mort Weiss is a Jazz Reality Show
by C. Michael Bailey
The informal definition of a Character is an “odd, eccentric, or unusual person." That is a bit disappointing in that “odd, eccentric, and unusual" more often than not may be pejorative. I prefer a “unique, memorable, or exceptional person." That said, it takes all six adjectives to adequately describe clarinetist Mort Weiss, who with this recording ...
