Jaimeo Brown: Transcendence

Read "Transcendence" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Al suo debutto discografico come leader Jaimeo Brown ha relizzato una delle opere più intense, originali e appassionanti del 2013. Un concept album che abbraccia il passato e il presente della cultura afro-americana, inglobando suggestioni geograficamente distanti (come quella indiana) in un percorso capace di coniugare feeling e controllo della forma. Il trentaquattrenne batterista non ...

Joe Locke: Lay Down My Heart: Blues & Ballads Vol.1

Read "Lay Down My Heart: Blues & Ballads Vol.1" reviewed by Dr. Judith Schlesinger

On this CD, vibraphonist and composer Joe Locke and pianist Ryan Cohan provide a textbook example of how this is done. They are happily aided and abetted by bassist and co-producer David ...

Joe Locke: Lay Down My Heart: Blues & Ballads Vol.1

Read "Lay Down My Heart: Blues & Ballads Vol.1" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Vibraphonist Joe Locke doesn't seem to want to put his mallets down for very long. As soon as he arrived at Motéma Music, he released the modern-leaning Signing (Motéma Music, 2012) with the Joe Locke/Geoffrey Keezer Group, and partnered up with Lincoln's Symphony Orchestra for the somewhat serene Wish Upon A Star (Motéma Music, 2013). Now, ...
