Steve Treseler Group: Center Song
by Vincenzo Roggero
Sono due direzioni molto diverse tra loro a contrassegnare (in base alle intenzioni espresse dall'autore nelle note di copertina) Center Song, secondo album a proprio nome del sassofonista e clarinettista Steve Treseler. Da una parte la scena alternative rock e grunge di Seattle--città nella quale il leader di questo gruppo è cresciuto--omaggiata con il brano dei ...
Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra: Habitat
by Jack Bowers
Christine Jensen is one of the new breed of composer / arrangers who write for large ensembles on a grand scale, favoring themes that paint well-drawn pictures and tell evocative stories, most of which are based on personal experiences or particular sights or sounds that have lingered in their mind and led them to put pen ...
Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra: Habitat
by Dan Bilawsky
The blurry photo that adorns the cover of Habitat is completely at odds with what awaits inside the package: Some of the most incredibly focused and finely wrought large ensemble music to emerge in recent memory. Canadian saxophonist/composer Christine Jensen won plenty of fans with the her last jazz orchestra album--Treelines (Justin Time ...
Rufus Reid: Quiet Pride
by Dan Bilawsky
The beauty of art is often in the taking rather than the making. The art may come to life in the mind of the artist but it often flourishes when the ink dries, the chisel is withdrawn, the dust has settled, or the final brushstrokes have been applied. At that point, the preparation ends and the ...
Mimi Jones: Balance
by Hrayr Attarian
Virtuoso bassist and superlative bandleader Mimi Jones' (AKA Miriam Sullivan) Balance is a delightful album filled with 79 minutes of engaging music. Despite the title, however, it is an unevenly structured work. The edgy, dramatic “The Incy Wincy Spider" for instance completely deconstructs the children's rhyme into an intriguing, darkly hued and haunting piece. ...
Mimi Jones: Balance
by C. Michael Bailey
NYC-native bassist-raconteur Mimi Jones founded Hot Tone records in 2009, releasing her debut, A New Day. Jones states the label ..."was created to give chances to those who may have been overlooked and denied the necessary support and knowledge to develop." Specifically, and appropriately, the focus of the label has evolved as a resource for women ...
Helen Sung: Anthem For A New Day
by Dan McClenaghan
There's a bit of the iconoclast in pianist Helen Sung. Her musical journey began in the classical world, and didn't take its rebellious tangent into jazz until her college years, after a chance encounter with a Harry Connick, Jr. concert, in a “bang on the piano" solo interlude. And then there was pianist Tommy Flanagan's solo ...
ArtistShare: A Record Label for the Digital Age
by Paul Naser
In the information age, as technology is transforming the way we share ideas, the creative artist seems to be in a dangerous situation. Peer-to-peer file sharing and free-streaming content are direct threats to an artists' livelihood. Combining this insight with a love for music and an appreciation for artists and the value of their work, Brian ...
Christine Jensen: Impressionism
by George Colligan
[ Editor's Note: The following interview is reprinted from George Colligan's blog, Jazztruth] I was first exposed to alto saxophonist Christine Jensen through working with her trumpet playing sister Ingrid Jensen. We played some of her music, which really struck me as direct, mature, grounded and highly creative. Later on I got to meet ...
Saxophonist Steve Treseler Releases Center Song Featuring Ingrid Jensen
