David Sanchez: Ninety-Mile Bridge
by Ian Patterson
What, besides music, transcends geopolitical divides so gracefully? What else unites people of different nationalities, political persuasions and religious creeds in common celebration just quite as harmoniously? Religions may have captured the hearts and minds of the majority of the planet's people, but remain bastions of ultra-conservatism and mistrust, despite all the rhetoric to the contrary. ...
Federico Britos: Voyage
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The world continues to awake to the rising tide of undiscovered music and musicians from the South American paradigm, in an almost ironic kind of reversal of Alejo Carpentier's voyage of musical discovery in his 1953 work, The Lost Steps. As this is going on, the Uruguayan violinist Federico Britos celebrates five decades in the lonely ...

Gordon GrdinaBar 4Brooklyn, NY September 7, 2009There were other things in the music Gordon Grdina played at Bar 4, bits of McLaughlin, Santana, Sharrock, but for the first few minutes of his trio's Sep. 7th set it was hard to hear anything other than how together they were. From the ...
Steve Turre: Rainbow People
by Ian Patterson
If the rainbow of the title denoted musical diversity then it would be most fitting in the case of trombonist Steve Turre, as his musical bag is hewn from many colors. Turre is equally at home playing Latin rhythms, blues or straight-ahead jazz--hardly surprising when you consider his apprenticeship with saxophonist/flautist Rahsaan Roland Kirk and singer ...

Ignacio Berroa: Codes
by AAJ Italy Staff
Occorre presentare il batterista Ignacio Berroa? Tralasciamo di elencare gli illustri musicisti che ha affiancato per limitarci a citare la preziosa presentazione che ne fece Dizzy Gillespie: “L’unico batterista al mondo, nella storia della musica americana, che conosca intimamente sia la musica cubana che il jazz”. Dopo essersi quadagnato gran rispetto tra i percussionisti cubani, a ...
Ignacio Berroa: Codes
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
For some insight into the codes to which the title of drummer Ignacio Berroa's debut album refers, compare his version of the António Carlos Jobim classic “Inútil Paisagem with the excellent piano trio version by Aaron Goldberg on Worlds (Sunnyside, 2006). Goldberg takes it very slow and successfully taps into the number's rarefied, slightly decadent Brazilian ...
Ignacio Berroa: Codes
by Jim Santella

Along with a vibrant Latin jazz rhythm and accented melodies, the ensemble adds ...
