Nice Jazz Festival and Jazz at Juan les Pins 2018
The Cote d'Azur, France's legendary playground, celebrated the first jazz festival 70 years ago but the concept did not become an annual event until the early 1970s. Set beside the impossibly blue Mediterranean, jazz festivals are celebrated all along the coast from Cannes to Monte Carlo. Here we look at two major events in July, Nice ...
Massimo Colombo: Powell To The People
by Jim Worsley
Powell To The People could certainly be heard as a tribute to jazz pianist Bud Powell. It could just as easily be heard as an introduction to the legend's iconic music. It fulfills both categories with the emotion and virtuosity Powell exuded in his playing. Powell pioneered a new era of post swing bebop ...
James Hall: Lattice
by Jerome Wilson
James Hall uses an interesting combination of instruments you rarely hear in a jazz quintet on this CD, with his trombone and Jamie Baum's flute sharing the front line. The result, full of cool high-low harmonies, is an intriguing sound that goes in many different directions. The lilting weave of “Shoy" showcases how well ...
Mike Clark & Delbert Bump: Retro Report
by Kevin Press
Go ahead. Judge this album by its cover. That 1970-something Ford grill tells you everything you need to know. It's big, funky and stamped Made In USA. These 11 cuts are Hammond-organ groovy. Which is to say Delbert Bump groovy. And the only thing better than a Bump groove is one paired with former ...

Kamaal Williams: The Return
by Chris May
Cross-pollination of jazz and hip hop has spread fast during the 2010s. In-the-moment creativity and giving-the-drummer-some are powerful synergies. In the US, key players include Kamasi Washington, Thundercat and Christian Scott. In Britain, they include the extended family of musicians associated with reed player Shabaka Hutchings and the Brownswood Recordings label. Some of the British players ...
Gene Jackson Trio Nu Yorx: Power Of Love
by Roger Farbey
Born in Philadelphia in 1961, Gene Jackson had already determined by his late teens to become a professional drummer. He attended Berklee College of Music where his classmates numbered Branford Marsalis, Cindy Blackman, Terri Lyne Carrington and Jeff “Tain" Watts to name just a few. He's worked with many major players in jazz including Dave Holland, ...
Rosario Di Rosa
by Vincenzo Roggero
1. Thelonious Monk, Blue Monk (Bandstand, 1988). Questo disco è un bootleg registrato al Newport Jazz Festival nel 1966. Avrei potuto inserire qualunque disco di Monk ma ho scelto questo perché è in assoluto il primo che ho acquistato all'inizio degli anni '90. All'epoca avevo appena iniziato a interessarmi al jazz, anche se non ...
