Ran Blake: Something To Live For
by Alberto Bazzurro
Con copertina diversa, torna a quasi diciannove anni dalla sua prima edizione (1999; incisione Boston, marzo '98) un album certamente prezioso (per quanto magari un po' discontinuo) di quel singolare pianista (e personaggio tout court) che è Ran Blake, oggi ottantatreenne. L'album si compone, adesso come allora, di diciannove brani, per lo più brevi o molto ...
Paula Shocron: Paths to a New Sound
by Jakob Baekgaard
When Werner X. Uehlinger, the founder of Hat Hut Records, was asked about a statement on why he liked Argentinian pianist Paula Shocron's music, the answer was clear, short and succinct: “The quality of surprise." Uehlinger discovered Shocron's music through her work with the SLD Trio and he liked their debut Anfitrión so much that the ...
Solo Piano – Fred Hersch and Ran Blake
by C. Michael Bailey
Fred Hersch Open Book Palmetto 2017 Pianist Fred Hersch's 2015 release Solo (Palmetto) and the present Open Book recall Keith Jarrett's deeply introspective The Melody at Night, With You (ECM, 2000) with respect to the two artists having survived significant health crises.

Steve Swell: Kanreki: Reflection & Renewal
by John Sharpe
To mark his sixtieth birthday (December 6, 2014), trombonist Steve Swell, long the pre-eminent trombonist on the NYC free jazz scene, invokes the Japanese custom of Kanreki.

Andrew Raffo Dewar: Interactions Quartet
by Libero Farnè
Ecco un esempio di come i confini fra improvvisazione di matrice jazzistica e concezione compositiva contemporanea possano oggi essere sfumati, con travalicamenti continui da un'area all'altra, sia per quanto riguarda i meccanismi della produzione sonora da parte degli esecutori, sia per quanto attiene gli esiti del messaggio musicale percepito da chi ascolta. Dell'ambiziosa e impegnativa operazione, ...
Pandelis Karayorgis Trio: Cocoon
by Mark Corroto
With so many projects in the works, where is one to begin in a survey of pianist Pandelis Karayorgis? The Boston-based educator (born in Athens, Greece) is a member of The Whammies (featuring Han Bennink), a sextet formed with Driff Records partner Jorrit Dijkstra to cover the music of Steve Lacy. He also maintains a Chicago ...
Josh Berman & His Gang: There Now
by Mark Corroto
Josh Berman is a gambler. There Now initially gives the impression that the cornetist's reversion to the music of Eddie Condon and Pee Wee Russell is only a bluff. His gang of young Chicago improvisers weaves in and out of the 1920s, inserting free jazz passages and improvised duos that could not be anticipated in the ...
