Donny McCaslin: Fast Future
by Mark F. Turner
Saxophonist Donny McCaslin brought a fresh perspective to the acoustic-electronic jazz soundscape with 2012's Casting for Gravity (Greenleaf Music) which earned a Grammy nomination for “Best Instrumental Jazz Solo" for the track “Stadium Jazz." Thankfully it was not a one-off as McCaslin reassembles the tightly knit band and savvy production from saxophonist David Binney in Fast ...
Karl Latham / Ryan Carniaux / Mark Egan: Constellations
by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton
If you happened to be in vitro fed Isao Tomita during your pre-personage, you're going to recognise Karl Latham's Constellations electronica subliminally--regardless any jazz/Bjork connections. 70's Japanese synth/horn, space music trembling has that tendency to unhinge a certain primeval magic. Space music in the 21st Century has less artefacts than the 70s first steppers, and more ...
Marcin Wasilewski Trio with Joakim Milder: Spark of Life
by Neri Pollastri
Il rodato trio di Marcin Wasilewski si allarga a quartetto ospitando il sassofonista svedese Joakim Milder, che si mostra adattissimo alla poetica della formazione polacca e ne esalta gli aspetti lirici e riflessivi. Non a caso, perché Milder nel 1997 era stato parte dello splendido lavoro che Tomasz Stanko--mentore di Wasilewski, Slawomir Kurkiewicz e Michal Miskiewicz--aveva ...

Music Matters and Blue Note's 75th: Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch
by C. Andrew Hovan
Those deep collectors of classic Blue Note titles are already well aware of Music Matters' impressive catalog of reissue titles going back to 2007. Aside from a vintage era release with Van Gelder in the dead wax, these reissues have been the gold standard for hearing Blue Note's iconic classics in their best light. Joe Harley ...
