Donatello D'Attoma Story
by Claudio Bonomi
A tu per tu con Donatello D'Attoma, classe 1983, e astro pianistico “crescente" e vitale del nostro jazz d'autore. Lo abbiamo incontrato due volte: la prima l'anno scorso, in occasione del Fasano Jazz, dove ha diviso il palco con il chitarrista norvegese Bjorn Solli (si trattava di una delle tappe estive del Watchdog Tour) e, recentemente, ...
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival 2016
by John Kelman
TD Ottawa Jazz Festival Ottawa, Canada June 22 -July 3, 2016 It's hard to believe, with seasons that move quickly from spring into summer, that it was time, once again, for the TD Ottawa Jazz Festival. Now in its 36th year, the festival has grown from a weekend event into a full-blown, ...
Claude Nobs: We All Came Out To Montreux...
by Ian Patterson
Montreux Jazz Festival is fifty. It's a significant milestone and cause for celebration. No doubt there will be an added festive element to this year's edition of the festival, founded by Claude Nobs--along with pianist Géo Voumard and writer René Langel--in 1967. Yet for many, the celebrations will be tinged with sadness due to the absence ...
Lou Caputo Not So Big Band: Uh Oh!
by Jack Bowers
Uh Oh! is the third recording by multi-instrumentalist Lou Caputo's Not So Big Band, which has been performing in New York City for more than a decade. The band's name epitomizes its relatively spare front line: two trumpets, three saxophones, trombone and tuba. There is, on the other hand, nothing spare about the band's ability to ...

Miles Electric Band SFJAZZ CenterSan Francisco, CA June 11, 2016 Since his death in 1991, one month after his final performance at the Hollywood Bowl, there has been a vacancy in the jazz trumpet chair. While many have risen as stars on the instrument, no one has quite matched Miles ...
Jack DeJohnette: Return
by Karl Ackermann
The only thing that Jack DeJohnette seems to have forgotten in his maturing years, is that, by the law of nature, he is supposed to be slowing down. Instead, as the composer/multi-instrumentalist heads toward his mid-seventies, he is as productive as he has ever been in his long, celebrated career. His releases over the past twelve ...
Jason Palmer and Cédric Hanriot: City Of Poets
by Roger Farbey
The formal structure of this album recorded live at London's Pizza Express Jazz Club on September 23, 2014, centres around Olivier Messiaen's Seven modes of limited transposition, musical modes or scales that fulfil specific criteria relating to their symmetry and the repetition of their interval groups. As with George Russell's Lydian chromatic concept of tonal organization ...
Lyle Mays Quartet: The Ludwigsburg Concert
by Mario Calvitti
Conosciuto principalmente come cofondatore del Pat Metheny Group, alter ego e spalla del ben più noto chitarrista, il tastierista Lyle Mays è sempre rimasto un po' in ombra rispetto al partner, complice anche un carattere decisamente schivo e riservato che ne ha spesso limitato le uscite pubbliche. Anche le sue apparizioni discografiche al di fuori del ...
Luis Perdomo: Montage
by Mark Corroto
The highest praise you can give to a recording by a solo performer is that the music was made just for your ears. Pianist Luis Perdomo's Montage gives just that impression. It's easy to imagine these fifteen tracks were played in your living room, or automobile, for that matter. After releasing seven discs as ...
