Christoph Stiefel: Isorhythms and Circus Clowns
by Bruce Lindsay
It's the end of a lengthy but enjoyable telephone interview with Christoph Stiefel and things are drawing to a close. Then the pianist asks if he can add one more comment: “This is my year. This is a really happening year for me: it's incredible. I've developed my style solo and with my Inner Language Trio ...
Harris Eisenstadt: Full Steam Ahead
by James Pearse
As well as three current working (and touring) ensembles, a busy recording schedule and a flourishing teaching career, Toronto, Canada-born percussionist/composer Harris Eisenstadt is also a family man. Now settled in New York City, it's been a busy year, with four recordings-September Trio (Clean Feed, 2011), Canada Day III (Songlines, 2012), Canada Day II (Songlines, 2011), ...
Lo spazio del suono. Conversazione con Roberto Dani
by AAJ Italy Staff
Roberto Dani è un batterista ben noto, membro del trio di Stefano Battaglia e collaboratore di musicisti come Erik Friedlander, Ben Monder, Louis Sclavis, Michel Godard e Annette Peacock, solo per citarne alcuni. Ma Dani è anche un musicista dedito alla ricerca più rigorosa sul suo strumento, perseguita con collaborazioni in ambito teatrale e in eventi ...
Interview: Lalo Schifrin
The Sunday before Hurricane Sandy veered inland and flooded Northeastern coastal areas, I caught the last flight out of JFK bound for Los Angeles. I was heading west to interview Lalo Schifrin for the Wall Street Journal (go here). As the jet taxied, it seemed only fitting that my conversation with music's master of suspense should ...
Bob Mintzer: Amazing Reach
by Bob Kenselaar
For about half of his four decade-long career in jazz, Bob Mintzer has been a member of the Yellowjackets, one of the most enduring, distinctive and creative bands in contemporary jazz. But, oddly enough, this association is a relatively small slice of Mintzer's remarkably multifaceted life in music as a saxophonist, bass clarinetist, composer, arranger, educator ...
Gregory Porter: suono e visione
by AAJ Italy Staff
Intervista di G.P.: Ho un debole per il cantato, ma ha fatto anche ottimi pezzi strumentali: il disco After Midnight (1957, Capitol) è davvero incredibile. AAJ: Quando sei da solo e nessuno ti può sentire, e magari è stata una pessima giornata, cosa canti per tirarti su di morale? G.P.: Ti sembrerà strano, ma ti rispondo ...
Steve Lipman: The Singin' Dentist Balances Healing With Frank Sinatra
When the Dream Academy sang, “Like Sinatra in a younger day," in their wind-swept '80s hit, “Life in a Northern Town," they could easily have been describing jazz singer Steve Lipman. Looking and sounding like Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Lipman mesmerizes with his warm crooning on his latest album, Ridin' the Beat. But what's fascinating about ...
Jessica Ferber on Bob Campbell
Last Thursday, my phone rang. On the other end was a young woman who hurridly began telling me a story, adding that a friend had suggested she contact me. The only words that stuck at the time were “photographs," “Campbell" and “homeless." Since I hear from media relations people all day long promoting one thing or ...
Paolo Zavallone: oltre mezzo secolo nel mondo dello spettacolo
by AAJ Italy Staff
Fra tanti protagonisti dell'attualità, italiani o stranieri, Cristina Zavalloni è senza dubbio colei di cui negli ultimi quindici anni ho scritto maggiormente: programmi di sala, interviste, recensioni di CD, concerti, opere liriche... Probabilmente sono in pochi a sapere che la cantante bolognese è figlia d'arte ed anzi ha mosso i suoi primi passi artistici da bambina ...
Randy Napoleon: Playing for the Jukebox Crowd
by Trish Richardson
When guitarist Randy Napoleon titled his latest effort, The Jukebox Crowd (Gut String Records, 2012), the jukebox he referred to was not some nostalgic 1950s era one that sits idly in a corner. Rather, she is a much sleeker, hipper, and more modern version. She is cool and, of course, jazzy, and she commands center stage. ...
