Trish Clowes: From Shorter, Lovano and the Sphinx
by Bruce Lindsay
There doesn't seem to be an award for the best album title of the year anywhere in the wide world of jazz, but if there was then And In The Night-Time She Is There (Basho Records) would surely be a contender for 2012. The romantic and mysterious title belongs to the second album from saxophonist/composer Trish ...
Marialy Pacheco: A Sunshine State of Mind
by Ian Patterson
It takes courage and self-belief to up sticks and try your luck in another country. There is, after all, no guarantee that things will work out, and some hard times are almost assured. The language barrier can leave you feeling utterly isolated, and until you gain fluency it is not possible to be truly yourself. It's ...
Just Music Trio: Standpoint
by Ian Patterson
Cross-pollination of music is as old as the hills, but the increasing frequency of such experimentation--the result of evermore sophisticated home recording technologies and file sharing--has obliterated the lines of latitude and longitude that traditionally separated musicians living in different countries/continents. This is leading to an ever greater number of sub-genres in all styles of music, ...
The Art Of The Song
by Bruce Lindsay
Singing is possibly the most universal of the arts, certainly of the musical arts. The human voice is the most portable of instruments, always there, always available. It's also the most expressive of instruments: almost every instrument invented in history has at some time or other been used to mimic the voice; none have truly succeeded.
The Impossible Gentlemen (Simcock, Walker, Swallow, and Nussbaum) Announce US Release of New Recording.
"the quartet, fulfilled all its promise - and then some. Walker's contribution to this ensemble was nothing short of sensational, through plenty of quiet, but compellingly lyrical music, as well as some post-bop gallops and a spectacular roaring blues. Simcock set the improv bar early on with a surging, McCoy Tyner-like solo on his own convoluted-bop ...

Yuri Goloubev: Titanic for a Bike
by Ian Patterson
Yuri GoloubevTitanic for a BikeCaligola2011The old saying, “if you want a job done ask a busy person," certainly applies to Russian bassist Yuri Goloubev, one of the hardest-working musicians in jazz. When not touring with his own small ensembles, he's criss-crossing Europe in the trios of pianists Gwilym ...
Simcock Garland Sirkis: Lighthouse
by John Kelman
With Lighthouse, saxophonist Tim Garland, pianist Gwilym Simcock and percussionist Asaf Sirkis make the move to completely egalitarian collective. It's also the first album to feature the trio without any additional guests. Garland's Lighthouse Trio first came together on the saxophonist's If the Sea Replied (Sirocco, 2005), an ambitious song cycle that--in addition to including mates ...
The Impossible Gentlemen: The Impossible Gentlemen
by AAJ Italy Staff
Allora: ci sono dischi dei quali si potrebbe o dovrebbe (?) scrivere pagine e altri no. Questo è uno di quelli sul quale si dovrebbe scrivere molto. Perché è un disco di una sorta di super-gruppo del jazz moderno, composto democraticamente da due americani e due britannici di “alte sfere". Perché un disco così esce ormai ...
