John Etheridge: More Than a Legacy
by Bruce Lindsay
The home page of guitarist John Etheridge's website reveals that he's involved in seven current projects: nothing too unusual in the life of a contemporary jazz musician. Closer inspection quickly shows that the term “jazz musician" fails miserably to encompass the full range of Etheridge's work. There's his career as a solo performer; his duo with ...
Jazz Face: The Beautiful Dreams of Bill Frisell
I actually walked out of a Bill Frisell concert (at the Walker) once upon a time. It was just too outside for me. Not sure but I suspect I would stick around if the same music presented itself now. I've enjoyed everything I've heard from the eclectic guitarist ever since, from a quartet with cellist Hank ...
Un'urgenza interiore: intervista ad Alessandro Lanzoni
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il suo amore per il jazz è nato in tenera età, spinto da un'attrazione naturale che oggi è per lui necessità espressiva. Con Dark Flavour il giovane pianista Alessandro Lanzoni fa un passo decisivo nel suo breve, ma già considerevole d'attenzione, percorso artistico, che lo ha visto ben figurare in diversi contesti, come nel recente Replay ...
Peter Hook: Tragic Joy, Electrified Order
by Nenad Georgievski
Joy Division existed for three and a half years before it reached its tragic end in 1980, but its musical legacy still resonates strongly today. Within that limited period, four young lads from Manchester changed the direction of music--first, by pioneering what is now called post-punk, and inspiring countless other artists along the way, most notably ...

This is a record about a true desire to act as an instrument of ...
Giovanni Guidi Trio: City of Broken Dreams
by AAJ Italy Staff
Giovanni Guidi è un musicista in continua crescita. È una sensazione che si avverte netta, disco dopo disco, anche perché combina uno spiccato senso autocritico con una forte voglia di progredire. Questa sorta di tensione artistica lo ha portato a raggiungere, in breve tempo, traguardi importanti, come le incisioni per la ECM con Enrico Rava, a ...
Interview: Sonny Rollins
I have two articles in today's Wall Street Journal—a “House Call" column for the Mansion section on Sonny Rollins (link soon) and an “Anatomy of a Song" column for the Arena section on the Four Tops' Reach Out I'll Be There (go here). Sonny first. Two weeks ago Sonny invited me to up to his house ...
Jazz Face: All Smiles from Francisco Mela
Hang out with drummer Francisco Mela for even a few minutes, and your mood will brighten. You can't help but smile. Watch him perform for a few minutes, and you will understand the inner joy that music brings to those who live with in 24/7. And, at least for the duration of that drum solo, that ...
Nuovi viaggi, vecchi compagni di strada: intervista a Larry Ochs
by AAJ Italy Staff
In questi giorni è in Italia per un mini-tour con il fedelissimo Don Robinson. Un nuovo viaggio con un vecchio compagno di strada. D'altronde, di viaggi e di vecchi compagni di strada, Larry Ochs se ne intende. Da trentacinque anni è in sella al Rova, la sua creatura più celebre e celebrata; e da almeno altrettanti ...
