Roy McCurdy: From Cannonball to the Rochester Music Hall of Fame
by Scott Gudell
When we placed a call from New York to Los Angeles in the early part of 2021, the articulate and vibrant drummer Roy McCurdy answered and quickly connected us back to the 1950s. He told us about his hometown of Rochester, New York, his early days performing with Chuck Mangione and Gap Mangione and how he ...
Mario Biondi: Voce di un'anima soul
by Paolo Marra
Con la sua voce calda, pregna di pathos e raffinati slanci timbrici, Mario Biondi si muove al confine tra soul e jazz seguendo con una cifra personale le tracce dei grandi cantanti della tradizione della musica nera. Con il nuovo disco, Dare, il crooner italiano ha voluto riassumere le sue diverse attitudini artistiche riunendo attorno a ...
Interview: Chick Corea on Fusion
Back in 2011, I interviewed Chick Corea for JazzWax on the rise of jazz fusion in the late 1960s and the formation of his seminal avant-garde and electric groups. Chick's passing last week was a major loss for jazz and for music. In addition to being a dynamic force in traditional acoustic jazz and in jazz-rock, ...

La Compagnia Abbondanza-Bertoni, insieme al co-autore Marco Dalpane ed il duo OoopopoiooO, si é misurata con la complessa arte della drammaturgia teatrale e musicale vincendo con il progetto Clown Time il concorso intitolato “OPER.A 20.21 Fringe II Edition" organizzato dalla fondazione Haydn di Bolzano e Trento.

Return to Forever: Back, Bold and Badass
by R.J. DeLuke
This article was first published at All About Jazz in June 2008. The word has long been out and the 2008 reunion tour of Return to Forever, one of the standard bearers of the jazz-rock fusion movement of the 1970s, is well on its way. Intricate, emotive and—yes—loud music that hasn't really been heard ...
My Conversation with Chick Corea
by AAJ Staff
From the 1995-2003 archive: This article first appeared at All About Jazz in August 1999. It would be silly for me to even attempt to pontificate on the ramifications Chick Corea has had on this music. But it should be universal that his impact has been substantial at worst. So I will let him ...
Lyle Mays Goes Solo
by Mike Brannon
From the 1995-2003 archive: This article first appeared at All About Jazz in May 2001. What if you were to look beyond the obvious of what you normally do each day, and you learned to see beyond? What if your mind, and ears were always open yet you stayed deeply focused and unwavering from ...
Brian Jackson: Winter In America Pt. 2
by Chris May
As Gil Scott-Heron's songwriting and performing partner during the 1970s, keyboardist, composer and arranger Brian Jackson was co-author of some of the most galvanising liberation music of the era. Inhabiting the intersection of jazz, soul and spoken word, Jackson and Scott-Heron, who met while they were both students at Lincoln University, were a team from Pieces ...
Guillermo E. Brown: Freedom of Music
by AAJ Staff
From the 1995-2003 archive: This article first appeared at All About Jazz in April 2002. When it comes to music, Guillermo E. Brown is something of an omnivore. Whether it be calypso, out jazz, hip hop, or electronica, Brown is all ears. That makes the 25 year-old New Yorker something of an exception to ...
Manlio Maresca: L'imprevedibile gioco delle parti.
by Paolo Marra
La musica di Manlio Maresca è una centrifuga di elementi musicali dei più svariati uniti, nella loro essenza, dallo spirito di rottura di schemi prefissati: punk, rock alternativo, jazz tradizionale ed elettronica miscelati in un vertiginoso gioco senza soluzione di continuità tra musicista ed ascoltatore. Chitarrista e compositore, sin dalla prima formazione dei Neo, fondata nel ...
