Polly Gibbons: All I Can Do
by Angelo Leonardi
È sufficiente ascoltare qualche brano dell'inglese Polly Gibbons per lasciarsi prendere dal suo esuberante feeling. Niente a che vedere con le molte vocalist che hanno invaso la scena con una mediocre e plastificata sintesi di pop, jazz e soul. La giovane scoperta dal produttore Ian Shaw è qualcosa di speciale. Il suo timbro è profondo, la ...
Akira Tana & Otonowa: Ai San San: Love's Radiance
by Nicholas F. Mondello
Ai San San: Love's Radiance is musical transformation of the highest caliber. It employs traditional and contemporary Japanese melodies and molds them into a marvelously arranged and performed jazz album. Traditional Japanese instruments enhance textural dimension. The opener, “Antagata Dakosa," is vaguely reminiscent of Mongo Santamaria's “Afro Blue" and is a terrific straight-ahead ...

Ten Artists: May 2019
by C. Michael Bailey
Paul JostSimple LifePaul Jost Music2019 I believe there are precious few exceptional male jazz vocalists. There. I said it. Female vocalists? They are legion. But once one has pruned away the vanity projects, the Sinatra wannabes, and the most recent unforgivable cover of “My Funny Valentine," there remain few. Paul Jost ...

Moaning, Whistling, Sighing and Other Jazz Sounds
by Ludovico Granvassu
Jazz--the quintessential open door genre--has a capacity to beautifully integrate all kinds of sources. From music from faraway places to compositions written and instruments used for completely different genres. When it comes to the human voice, jazz has shown an uncanny openness to its endless possibilities finding a musical role for all sorts of non verbal ...
Steve Davis: Correlations
by Peter J. Hoetjes
Exploration and innovation may be the aspiration of modern jazz, but trombonist Steve Davis' Correlations exemplifies the fact that nothing proves more compelling than the timeless art of gathering a group of musicians who work remarkably well together. A veteran of The Jazz Messengers, One For All, and The Jazztet, Davis has a wealth of experience ...
Pierluigi Villani: Stanic Boulevard
by Nicholas F. Mondello
Stanic Boulevard from drummer Pierluigi Villani and his Ensemble is a very distinctive album which offers highly-textured contemporized original compositions, each from a group member and each of which is performed with superb musicianship and exquisite taste. It is jazz collaboration at its best. “More or Less," the driving opener, delivers a rock-blueish ...
Blue Note 50th Anniversaries: January 1969 & More

Certamente, there's more--including a 75th anniversary salute to sides by clarinetist Edmond Hall with Red Norvo and Teddy Wilson, and a 78 rpm recording of Blue Note 5 by Earl ...
Ron Carter: Still Searching for the Right Notes
by Rob Garratt
"People from newspapers and magazines always ask me two things," Ron Carter tells a reverent crowd from a stage in suburban Hong Kong. “What was it like playing with Miles Davis? And why am I still doing this?" He answers the latter enquiry by pointing left and right simultaneously at his two diligent sidemen, pianist Donald ...
