Maurizio Brunod e Giovanni Palombo: due chitarristi eclettici
by AAJ Italy Staff
Per quanto appartenenti a due mondi distinti (quello del jazz per Brunod, quello del folk per Palombo) sono molti i punti di contatto tra i due chitarristi. In primis, la grande apertura mentale che li spinge a esplorare continuamente nuovi territori musicali, senza rimanere rinchiusi in un genere predefinito. Questo si evince anche dalle influenze dichiarate, ...
Yuhan Su: Good Vibes
by Ian Patterson
Everybody loves the romance of a comeback: the phoenix-like rise from adversity, long-term exile, obscurity or defeat. Think of US President Abraham Lincoln's travails, boxer George Foreman's regaining the World Heavyweight title at the age of 45, actor Sean Connery's return as Bond, David Bowie's eternal reinvention or, indeed, the peculiar cycles of fashion that have ...
Interview: Nils Lindberg
Yesterday I posted on composer, arranger and pianist Nils Lindberg's 1963 album Trisection, a superb but almost unknown orchestral jazz recording. I also provided a bit of background on Sweden's 100-year love affair with jazz.

Arve Henriksen: The Trumpet is My Pen
by Nenad Georgievski
Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen is one of a handful of creative upstarts, like trumpeters Nils Petter Molvær or Erik Truffaz, who are embracing electronics and the improvisational side of jazz in their music. Henriksen's music is an otherworldly amalgamation of different and sometimes opposing elements, with imaginative soundscapes built on the tradition that trumpeter Miles Davis ...

Mirko Signorile
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dalla fine degli anni Novanta ad oggi Mirko Signorile ha seguito un unico e fondamentale criterio artistico, appagare la propria curiosità. Il pianista barese, classe 1974, nel corso di oltre un decennio ha saputo attingere stimoli e suggestioni da vari paesaggi musicali. Il suo approccio appare quello di un vero viaggiatore che, toccando territori apparentemente lontani, ...

by R.J. DeLuke
Kim Nazarian went to college in upstate New York for acting, with dreams of the Broadway stage. Some 25 years later, she's enjoying a career that has taken her to stages around the globe--but as a singer. Not just a singer, but one of four that makes up New York Voices, a group that has won ...
Interview: Huey Lewis
In the Mansion section of today's Wall Street Journal (go here), I catch up with Huey Lewis in an interview about his Montana ranch. Huey, of course, rocketed to fame and fortune with the release of Sports in late 1983—an iconic rock-soul album that has just been remastered and will be re-issued as a two-CD set ...
