C’è del mood in Danimarca! Viaggio nella Copenhagen del jazz, tra tradizione e nuovi collettivi
by Enrico Bettinello
La città di Copenhagen è stata tra le prime e più attive capitali europee ad accogliere, sin dagli anni Cinquanta, alcuni dei migliori jazzisti americani che trovavano in Europa condizioni di lavoro e di rispetto artistico maggiori che in patria.

Jakob Bro: Streams
by Geno Thackara
"The music wants to go in its own direction," Jakob Bro declares, and “it's our job to follow it." If one central theme of jazz is “never the same way once," the Danish guitarist is someone who lives by it more than most. No two of his albums are made with the same cast and rarely ...

Ruben Machtelinckx & Linus: Belgian Experimental Music, Strings Attached
by Mark Sullivan
Belgian guitarist/composer Ruben Machtelinckx has built an impressive catalog of recordings as a leader since graduating from the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp in 2010. He tends to work in groups with no drummer, a chamber jazz approach that suits his lyrical, sometimes minimalist compositions well. His guitar style is tasteful and devoid of flashy pyrotechnics: even ...
Thomas Albæk Jakobsen's Flux: Voyager
by Jakob Baekgaard
Flux is a project from Danish drummer and composer Thomas Albæk Jakobsen. In 2013, he released the album Relations. Voyager is the follow-up and as the name implies, it is an adventurous album that explores many moods, but the tone is predominantly lyrical. An important addition to the group is the experienced pianist ...
Bill Frisell: When You Wish Upon a Star
by John Kelman
While jazz and interpretation are hardly strange bedfellows, few musicians have managed to be both as deeply reverent to his source music and profoundly personal and in his approach as guitarist Bill Frisell. That's not to suggest his re-imaginings of other composers' works have been anything remotely approaching predictable; as early as his first “covers" record, ...
