Part 1 | Part 2 CareFusion Newport Jazz FestivalFort Adams State ParkNewport, RIAugust 7, 2010 Sun rays streamed through mostly blue skies, pelting Fort Adams State Park with heat, as the annual jazz festival returned to the Rhode Island peninsula in 2010. Few people attending probably even ...
J.D. Allen Trio: Shine!
by AAJ Italy Staff
Disco insolito per un trio batteria-basso-sax tenore, normalmente terreno di conquista per esecuzioni dilatate, muscolari, virtuosistiche e assoli interminabili. Al contrario Shine! racchiude in quarantasei minuti ben dodici brani, alcuni dei quali non superano i tre minuti di durata. J.D. Allen è sassofonista dalle profonde radici bop, testimoniate da una manciata di ottimi album tra cui ...

J.D. Allen Trio: Shine
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The unfettered joy of listening to J.D. Allen's Shine comes from being reunited with the blues and spiritualism of modern Afro-American saxophone music. This kind of feeling and emotion all but died with John Coltrane. Arguably only a handful of players such as Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp and, perhaps, Dewey Redman kept those flames alive. And ...
J. D. Allen Trio: Shine
by Mark Corroto
It's impossible to be an impostor at the gambit in which J.D. Allen's trio is participating. His jukebox length compositions either hit or have the possibility to miss badly. Luckily, he has released a second trio album of all bull's-eyes. Shine! follows the pattern established on I AM I AM (Sunnyside, 2008). ...
