Jamie Begian Big Band: Big Fat Grin

Read "Big Fat Grin" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Il chitarrista Jamie Begian ha fondato questa big band nel 1998 e dopo dodici anni e mille difficoltà arriva alla sua seconda prova discografica. Un segnale ben preciso che l'arte della big band non è più allineata con i tempi ed il mercato discografico moderni. Eppure Begian ha fatto le cose nel modo giusto: ha raccolto ...

Salo: Sundial Lotus

Read "Sundial Lotus" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Sundial Lotus, the debut release from Salo, could easily be described as exuberant. Full of unpredictable energy, cadenced affinity and cross-genre influences, it wriggles out of one confine after another, creating small snippets of friction and long passages of intrigue. The septet's players hail from the critically acclaimed groups Respect Sextet, Jerseyband and Little Women, all ...

Various Artists: Earth Music - Ten Years of Meridian Music: Composers in Performance

Read "Earth Music - Ten Years of Meridian Music: Composers in Performance" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


Earth Music commemorates a decade of musical art presentations by the forward-thinking Bay Area Gallery founded on and operating under the firm conviction that significant art increases social, philosophical and spiritual change. It seems popular now to support the new music, which by those two words seems to imply--and this is becoming odious too--the entire artistic ...

Jamie Begian Big Band: Big Fat Grin

Read "Big Fat Grin" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


Who wants to take on the task of turning 17 individual musicians into a jazz big band? Very few people would attempt it, and fewer would succeed. Guitarist Jamie Begian did it in 1998 and the Jamie Begian Big Band now celebrates its 12th year with the release of its second album, Big Fat Grin. Begian ...

Royal Hartigan: Blood Drum Spirit: Royal Hartigan Ensemble Live in China

Read "Blood Drum Spirit: Royal Hartigan Ensemble Live in China" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Recorded on Beijing, Blood Drum Spirit: Royal Hartigan Ensemble Live in China is the third of a trilogy, but includes changes from the original studio namesake.

Rudresh Mahanthappa's Indo-Pak Coalition: Apti

Read "Apti" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Jazz has been a well-established genre in India since the 1940s. American talent played top venues in large cities like Bombay in the '50s, and the cultures interrelated within India's natural jazz evolution from its early stages. Traditional Indian music uses single notes rather than the intricate chords typical in western jazz, so when saxophonist Rudresh ...

Adam Niewood: Epic Journey, Volumes I & II

Read "Epic Journey, Volumes I & II" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Post modern jazz musicians like New York-based multi-reed instrumentalist Adam Niewood are sometimes more adroit at pushing boundaries in terms of incorporating non-traditional instruments and equally non-traditional compositions. Niewood wrote most of the tracks on Epic Journey, Volumes I & II, composing with a mind toward letting the instruments speak in their own voices while overlapping ...

Susie Ibarra: Drum Sketches

Read "Drum Sketches" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


When some of jazz music's more adventurous drummers want to showcase their talents, they usually do so in tandem with another player who, ideally, has enough brand equity to generate collateral interest. Solo percussion recordings rarely generate a queue on release--in large part due to the absence of melody and the almost ubiquitous presence of discordant ...
