Nicky Schrire: On Songs, Spaces And Places
by Dan Bilawsky
What defines power? That's a tough question to answer in general, and an even harder one to figure out when it comes to the world of music. For in music, a whisper may carry greater weight than a roar, an honest gesture can outdo a demonstration of brute strength and technique, and a direct message to ...
Rui Neves e la scena jazzistica portoghese
by Libero Farnè
Nel 2013 su All About Jazz Italia comparve una serie organica di interviste da parte di Enrico Bettinello a protagonisti del jazz italiano (produttori, agenti, direttori artistici...) con l'obiettivo di analizzare i meccanismi e i criteri che caratterizzano la programmazione dei festival jazz nel nostro Paese. A quella meritoria ed esauriente iniziativa si può ricollegare idealmente ...
Fred Pallem e il Questionario di Proust
by Paolo Peviani
Il tratto principale della mia musica L'eclettismo. La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con me La polivalenza. Come musicista, il momento in cui sono stato più felice Ogni giorno! Vivere della mia passione è una fortuna incredibile. Come musicista, ...
John Edwards Double Bass Man
by Sammy Stein
When John Edwards plays his double bass, he is extraordinarily engaging. He plucks, tweaks, bows, hits and hums aloud. So engrossed is he that it is difficult to look away. One memorable gig, I overheard a member of the audience say “ It's almost pornographic what he does with that bass." I ...
The Feeling: Creative Control Again
by Christine Connallon
Sitting in the plush lobby of a Lower East Side hotel of New York City, Dan Gillespie- Sells and Richard Jones blend right in to the crowd, so much so that I walked past them lounging around a table with two tea pots, near a roaring fire without recognizing them. When I set myself up at ...
Ed Palermo: Not Only In It For The Money
by Duncan Heining
It's been twenty years since saxophonist-composer-arranger Ed Palermo and his Big Band began playing the music of Frank Zappa. Twenty years, not a lot of bread but a whole lot of love from fans and musicians alike. Oh No! Not Jazz!! on Cuneiform Records marks the band's fourth Zappa album and the third for that remarkable ...

Interview: John Douglas Thompson
Two Saturdays ago I went off to see Satchmo at the Waldorf, Terry Teachout's new play on Louis Armstrong at the tail end of his life. Admittedly, Terry is a close friend, but my feelings about the play weren't swayed by our relationship. To be frank, I'm still stunned by John Douglas Thompson's performance and Terry's ...
Gerard D'Angelo: Who's Kidding Who?
by DanMichael Reyes
The old adage about those who can do and those who can't teach doesn't fit nicely into any music tradition. If this fallacy were to hold true, then it would be best for music history books to write off Joseph Haydn for taking on pupils--Beethoven being one of the more famous ones. That old idiom penned ...
Pino Minafra: musicista militante
by Libero Farnè
Negli ultimi anni Pino Minafra non ha trovato uno spazio adeguato sulle riviste specializzate e questa trascuratezza nei suoi confronti non si giustifica se si considera la sua attività sempre vulcanica e fortemente orientata; non solo, ma basta avere l'occasione di incontrarlo e stuzzicarlo un po' perché la sua voce si alzi animosa, corrosiva e costruttivamente ...
