Joe Chindamo Trio at Bennetts Lane, Melbourne
by Ian Patterson
Joe Chindamo Trio Bennetts Lane Jazz Club Melbourne, Australia December 18, 2008 Whilst other jazz venues have come and gone, Bennetts Lane jazz club has, since opening its doors in 1992, provided a steady and intimate breeding ground for Melbourne's jazz musicians--both established, like veteran drummer Allan Browne who celebrated ...
Claude Pauly: Mind Meets Matter
by Ian Patterson
Legions of saxophonists were mesmerized by the sound of Lester Young and Charlie Parker and to this day, John Coltrane; for trumpeters, Miles Davis continues to ensnare many, and for fusion guitarists John McLaughlin and Allan Holdsworth continue to fascinate. As a bright light does moths, they are sucked in, and if not careful, their own ...
Bevort - Schmidt: Playground + 1
by Ian Patterson
Playground + 1 is an apt name for this impressive release by this Danish quartet led by saxophonist/vocalist Pernille Bevort and pianist Marie Louis Schmidt, as in many ways a playground bears analogy to a jazz group. In both, freedom exists within boundaries and individual expression thrives within a group identity. There is a collective dependency ...
Jan Johansson: From Small Acorns...
by Ian Patterson
Upon hearing the news and in a state of disbelief, Randi Hultin the legendary Norwegian jazz journalist rang pianist Reinhold Svensson who confirmed the worst: “Yes. Swedish jazz has just died."1 Reinhold's reaction to the death in a car accident of fellow pianist Jan Johansson whilst melodramatic reflected Jan Johansson's importance in the contemporary Swedish jazz ...

Eple Trio: The Widening Sphere of Influence
by Ian Patterson
Recorded at legendary Rainbow Studios in Oslo, Norway, Eple Trio's second album, The Widening Sphere of Influence is an apt title, revealing the evolution of the trio and the incorporation of new sonorities a year on from its fine debut, Made This(NORCD. 2007). That album announced the arrival of a trio distinctive for the subtlety and ...
Esbjorn Svensson: Leucocyte
by Ian Patterson
The Esbjorn Svensson Trio's album Leucocyte was to have been a musical turning point in the band's career--marking a before and after. It was a brave leap into territory which the trio had previously only hinted at, and at the same time it probably marked what was to be a point of no return. In many ...
Stefano Bollani: Carioca
by Ian Patterson
Since saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist Charlie Byrd embraced Brazilian music in the early '60s, the world has come to know and love the gentle sway of bossa nova. Its most outstanding exponents, Joao Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim, inspired, and will doubtless continue to inspire myriad artists to borrow from their songbooks. The ...
Asaf Sirkis Trio: The Monk
by Ian Patterson
One thing that has perhaps been understated in some quarters when considering drummer Asaf Sirkis' recordings as a leader is just how lyrical and understated his music tends to be. The Inner Noise recordings, which aligned drums and guitar with church organ, drew almost as much attention for the unorthodox nature of the trio as they ...
I Percussionisti del Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale, Florence, Italy
by Ian Patterson
Colori d'Orchestra: I PercussionistiSaloncino del Teatro della Pergola Florence, Italy September 23, 2008 The stage is a jungle of percussive instruments: three imposing standing drums, four gongs, xylophones and vibraphones, glockenspiels, marimbas, congas, tamburellos, chimes, wind-shakers, Japanese gong bowls; and at the back--barely visible through all the metal, wood, stretched skin ...
