Arbenz / Krijger / Osby: Conversation #9: Targeted
by Chris May
This mind-bending album skewers any notion that modern-day organ trios are all unimaginative bores churning out reheated cliches lifted from Blue Note and Prestige albums of the 1950s and '60s. With that stereotype in mind, one would hesitate to apply the term “organ trio" to the collaborative group on Targeted. But its instigator, ...

David Lyttle & Phil Robson: IN2
by Ian Patterson
The title of drummer David Lyttle and guitarist Phil Robson's debut duo album is as direct and uncluttered as the music contained herein. Equally divided between time-honored standards and stylistically sympathetic originals--three by the Lyttle and one by Robson--the duo's straight-ahead, tradition-grounded language is perhaps a departure from their more genre-fluid work, particularly Lyttle's hip-hop filtered, ...
Pipe Dream: Blue Roads
by Giuseppe Segala
Questo secondo capitolo di Pipe Dream, Blue Roads, dopo il sigificativo esordio del 2018, aggiunge un nuovo tassello all'avventura del quintetto, scaturita dall'incontro felice di Hank Roberts con un gruppo di musicisti, tra i più rappresentativi della scena italiana. La propensione melodica, l'attenzione agli impasti strumentali di un organico inusuale che allinea sulla front line violoncello, ...
Simona Premazzi: Wave In Gravity
by Dan McClenaghan
What do we listen for in a solo piano project? Technical proficiency. Heart. Body. Soul. A vulnerability versus strength dynamic. The ability to surrender to the sounds, to take them where they want to go. In other words, we look for how well the artist articulates their humanity. Simona Premazzi displays all these attributes ...
