Harris Eisenstadt: Golden State
by AAJ Italy Staff
Già l'organico, con una front line forte di flauto e fagotto, ci dice quali tinte cameristiche avvolgano questo CD del batterista canadese (tutti suoi i brani), inciso nel novembre 2012 a San Diego, dove vive e insegna Mark Dresser. In verità la componente jazzistica è tutt'altro che elusa, il che si avverte con chiarezza già nel ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Golden State
by Glenn Astarita
Toronto-born drummer, composer Harris Eisenstadt is headquartered in the fertile artistic environs of New York City, and each new release divulges his thirst for ingenuity. He's emerged as an important voice within progressive jazz circles while gathering the crème de la crème of artists to help support his visions. Thus, Golden State is a polyrhythmic presentation ...
Nate Wooley Sextet: (Sit In) The Throne of Friendship
by Troy Collins
Since arriving in New York City in 2001, Nate Wooley has established himself as one of the most inventive trumpet players of his generation. In addition to the admiration of his peers, including fellow trumpeters like Taylor Ho Bynum, Peter Evans and Kirk Knuffke, Wooley has earned the respect of esteemed scene veterans, such as Dave ...
Nate Wooley Sextet: (Sit In) The Throne Of Friendship
by Mark Corroto
Like today's NFL quarterbacks, trumpeters are required to be multidimensional. Modern players (in football) are required to pass, run, block and call audibles. Likewise, the jazz horn player can't just take a high glissando solo, bow, and collect a paycheck; he/she has to be able to shift between the jazz tradition, improvisation, classical music and outside ...
Convergence Quartet: Slow And Steady
by John Sharpe
It might just be that the third record from the Transatlantic Convergence Quartet is its best yet. Recorded live at north London's Vortex at the conclusion of a short British tour, the band was firing on all cylinders. Not that its previous two outings were in any way remiss. Live In Oxford (FMR, 2007) documented a ...
Harris Eisenstadt September Trio: The Destructive Element
by Glenn Astarita
Celebrated for his musicality and leadership, drummer Harris Eisenstadt is a modernist who dispels preconceived notions that a drummers' primary function is to keep time, and prop the frontline along with a bassist. With this 2013 instilment of his September Trio, he ingrains organic textures and a touchy feely loose groove modus operandi when not engaging ...
Harris Eisenstadt September Trio: The Destructive Element
by Mark Corroto
In a jazz setting, the traditional role for a bassist is to keep time, and in effect be the glue that holds a composition--and essentially the jazz unit--together. Maybe that is the reason is why drummer Harris Eisenstadt chose to construct his September Trio sans bassist. Aptly named, The Destructive Element follows the September Trio of ...
Harris Eisenstadt September Trio: The Destructive Element
by AAJ Italy Staff
Nato nel 2010 il September Trio è una delle formazioni più emozionanti del jazz attuale. Ha inciso il primo disco omonimo l'anno successivo per la Clean Feed ed ora presenta questo nuovo lavoro, registrato ancora per l'etichetta portoghese il 29 e 30 settembre 2012 a Portalegre. Alla fine di giugno compirà un mini tour europeo con ...
Jazz: A Blessed Obsession
by Mark Corroto
Jazz listeners travel some strange and beautiful paths. It might have all begun with collectors trying to find a legendary Edison cylinder that New Orleans trumpeter Buddy Bolden--some believe to be the very first jazz musician--may (or may not) have recorded in 1904. Fast forward to modern times, a quick scan of eBay and the exorbitant ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Canada Day III
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dopo la prova notevole in Canada Day Octet, Harris Eisenstadt torna alla formula più frequentata del quintetto, al suo terzo capitolo, con risultati se possibili ancor più affascinanti. Un repertorio molto sofisticato, cesellato con cura in un anno di arrangiamenti ritoccati e un montaggio finale assai lucido, che rende giustizia ad ogni voce strumentale e scava ...
