Dario Giovannini: molto più che rock
by AAJ Italy Staff
La Romagna è una terra di provincia: molto vitale e pullulante di varie espressioni musicali e artistiche in genere, ma che di solito si fermano alla dimensione amatoriale o, anche se vanno oltre, raramente raggiungono il traguardo dell'originalità e della significatività. Spesso, specie nella musica, chi vuole fare il salto di qualità e uscire dalla zona ...
Steve Swell: Sound Miracles
by Gordon Marshall
Trombonist Steve Swell captures the energy of a big band in the close quarters of a small group. An alumnus of Buddy Rich's and Lionel Hampton's bands on the one hand, and collaborator with Anthony Braxton on the other, he seems bound to have fixed upon such a hybrid configuration at some point.

On a collection of horns that amounts to an instrument museum, Scott Robinson plays every style of jazz from traditional to free.

His arsenal, dozens of instruments, ranges from the ...

Pianist Bill Carrothers Interviewed at AAJ
A conversation with pianist Bill Carrothers reveals an unusual man; one who is to-the-point and forthright to a fault, perhaps, and one who's words spill from his mind unfiltered by anyone's expectations. Much the way his playing on Joy Spring (Pirouet, 2010)--a celebration of the music of hard bop trumpet icon Clifford Brown--seems to spill from ...
Johnny Mandel's Shadow and Smile
There's something about watching Johnny Mandel rehearse a big band that takes your breath away. Yesterday I had the rare pleasure of watching Johnny conduct the DIVA Jazz Orchestra in advance of their performances tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola in New York (go here for information and reservations). [Photo of Johnny Mandel conducting ...
