9th Annual Red Hook Jazz Festival To Be Held Across Two Sundays In Brooklyn's Urban Meadow, June 12 & 19 From 1-6pm

“The Red Hook Jazz Festival exists contentedly on the margins, like its namesake neighborhood and much of the music on its bill…The mood in the audience was neighborly, with a higher ratio of small children to youngish adults than I’ve seen at any musical event not expressly pitched as a kids’ show.” —Nate Chinen, New York ...

James Brandon Lewis: Days of Freeman

Read "Days of Freeman" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Una delle promesse più significative del jazz attuale pubblica il terzo disco da leader, confermando la formula del trio con un progetto e una partnership nuovi. Se nel precedente Divine Travels (Okeh, 2014) aveva come padri tutelari William Parker e Gerald Cleaver in un percorso ispirato alla tradizione gospel, stavolta il sassofonista si rivolge ...

Read "James Brandon Lewis e il Questionario di Proust" reviewed by AAJ Staff


All About Jazz: Il tratto principale della mia musica. James Brandon Lewis: Le emozioni e il suono la fanno da padrone! Le melodie, sia predeterminate che spontanee.

Addio estate. Arriva l'autunno ed è tempo di altri festival, altre rassegne, nuovi palchi. Ma prima dei consigli per ottobre, ci sono alcuni fili da riannodare, questioni lasciate in sospeso sulle quali tornare. Iniziamo da una buona notizia che rimbalza dalla Sardegna.

He chose wisely though, enlisting two superstars musicians, bassist William ...
