2016 Montreal Jazz Festival: June 29 - July 1, 2016
by Mark Sullivan
Festival International de Jazz de Montréal Montréal, Canada June 29-July 9, 2016 When they say the Montreal Jazz Festival is the biggest in the world, they're not kidding. Several city blocks full of concert venues, outdoor stages, and vendors. There are six seated concert venues on the grounds, and another six just ...
Intervista a Gaetano Partipilo
by Angelo Leonardi
S'è formato nella fervida scena del jazz pugliese e nei corsi di Siena Jazz ma poco più che ventenne ha svolto le prime, significative, esperienze internazionali accanto a Dave Liebman, Greg Osby, Jason Moran, Nasheet Waits e altri protagonisti dell'innovazione, a New York sul finire degli anni Novanta. Oggi Gaetano Partipilo è uno dei ...
Snowboy and the Latin Section: New York Afternoon
by Phil Barnes
The pervasive myths of New York are of a whole different order to those of just about any other world city. If 'Swinging London' ever existed before the offshore 'investors' moved in, it was long ago reduced, as the Clash put it, to the 'ring of that truncheon thing,' yet New York has somehow kept its ...
Gregory Porter: Take Me To The Alley
by Dan Bilawsky
The ineffable charms of Gregory Porter can't help but woo and win over the ear. He's the epitome of soulful sophistication--part tender poet, part cogent preacher, fully a man of the people--and he has a voice that can make the angels weep. While we often bemoan the choices that fame's fickle index finger makes, it pointed ...
Gregory Porter At The Ulster Hall, Belfast
by Ian Patterson
Gregory Porter Ulster Hall Belfast, N. Ireland March 31, 2016Though Gregory Porter has played Ireland several times, it's unlikely that any of the previous venues to welcome the Californian singer-songwriter have quite the history--or indeed the character--of Belfast's Ulster Hall. In its one hundred-and-fifty-year history this handsome Victorian music hall has ...
Nuove cantanti bussano alla porta
by Angelo Leonardi
Questo decennio sembra essere uno dei più affollati dalla presenza di voci femminili jazzisticamente orientate. Pur avendo radici etniche ed esperienze personali diverse, queste cinque giovani cantanti s'ispirano -cercando motivi personali -alla tradizione delle grandi protagoniste di jazz e soul music, tra brani originali e interpretazioni del classico songbook statunitense. Alcune vocalist sono ancora degli ...
Kevin Mahogany: The Vienna Affair
by Angelo Leonardi
Il numero dei cantanti jazz di sesso maschile è sempre stato esiguo rispetto al preponderante universo femminile, oggi più che mai. La recente scomparsa di Mark Murphy (il massimo vocalist moderno, già da qualche anno in semi-ritiro) ha accentuato la carenza anche se l'ingresso in scena di Gregory Porter ha portato una ventata d'aria ...
StLJN Saturday Video Showcase: The return of Gregory Porter
This week, let's check out some videos featuring singer Gregory Porter, who's returning to St. Louis for the first time since January 2013 for a concert presented by Jazz St. Louis on Saturday, February 6 at the Touhill Performing Arts Center. A lot has happened in Porter's career in the three years since he made his ...
Nicolas Bearde: Invitation
by C. Michael Bailey
Bay-area vocalist Nicolas Bearde belongs to an exclusive club: male jazz singers. I suspect, being scientifically minded, that submissions from male jazz singers make up approximately 10% of the music I receive for review. While in may be impolitic to discuss, it remains a fact. Not only are there few male jazz singers, there a fewer ...
