Innovatori della fisarmonica alle prese con la tradizione
by Neri Pollastri
Un nuovo disco a testa per due dei nostri migliori fisarmonicisti -Simone Zanchini e Luciano Biondini -entrambi noti per non attardarsi sulla tradizione, né dello strumento, né del repertorio nazionale. Sorprende perciò trovarli in questo caso entrambi impegnati su materiali che, in prima approssimazione, verrebbe da considerare (in senso non nobile) “da esportazione": il liscio di ...
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival 2016
by John Kelman
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival Ottawa, Canada June 22 -July 3, 2016 It's hard to believe, with seasons that move quickly from spring into summer, that it was time, once again, for the TD Ottawa Jazz Festival. Now in its 36th year, the festival has grown from a weekend event into a full-blown, ...

Torino Jazz Festival 2014
by Alberto Bazzurro
Varie sedi--25.04-1.05.2014 Benché bersagliata da intemperanze meteorologiche d'altro canto non nuove, in questa sede, la terza edizione del Torino Jazz Festival (seconda sotto la direzione artistica di Stefano Zenni) ha visto una partecipazione di pubblico che definiremmo oceanica, al punto che--per esempio--si è rivelato praticamente impossibile accedere ai concerti in giro per i ...
Nuances 4tet: River
by Alberto Bazzurro
Nato una decina d'anni fa come duo tromba/fisarmonica, quello che sarebbe poi diventato (dal 2007) il Nuances 4tet (nome quanto mai programmatico) ha sposato fin dall'inizio una linea che abbinasse le istanze di un jazz “di bella presenza" con stilemi molto legati agli strumenti a mantice (quindi fisarmonica ma non solo). La prossimità ...

Gianluigi Trovesi / Gianni Coscia: Frere Jacques - Round About Offenbach
by John Kelman
Once again, more than half a decade has gone by since clarinetist GIanluigi Trovesi and accordionist Gianni Coscia last recorded. Round About Weill (ECM, 2005) represented a shift away from the broader compositional purview of In cerca di cibo (ECM, 2000), instead focusing more monolithically--albeit with the improvisational élan which has defined this partnership from its ...
Chris Cheek / Victor Prieto: Rollo Coaster
by Martin Gladu
Chances are you have never heard the accordion played the way Victor Prieto plays it. Indeed, much like Toots Thielemans established the harmonica in the jazz lore huffing and puffing bop lines through his teeth, Prieto breaks the glass ceiling hovering above the crown of Cyrillus Demian's patented invention, squeezing improvised airs with a technical assurance ...
