James Newton Quartet: Live in Willisau

by Giuseppe Segala
April 13, 2026

Ecco una pubblicazione molto opportuna, a favore di un musicista il cui lavoro è assai poco documentato. Ne fotografa un momento iniziale, immerso nel campo del jazz, dentro un percorso che, nell'arco di oltre cinquant'anni, ha successivamente toccato tappe di molteplice orientamento, sviluppandosi nella musica accademica contemporanea, per orchestra e da camera, per balletto e danza ...

I Dischi del 2025 secondo Ludovico Granvassu

by Ludovico Granvassu
January 5, 2026

Immortalare la bellezza e la varietà del jazz pubblicato nel 2025 attraverso una “top ten" appare tanto arduo, vano--e alla fine deludente--quanto cercare di fotografare un tramonto sulla costiera amalfitana usando una rudimentale fotocamera digitale e facendo un forellino sul copriobiettivo. Certo, una foto verrà scattata. Potrebbe persino dimostrare che eri lì, in quel momento, quando ...

by Ludovico Granvassu
January 3, 2026

Capturing the breathtaking beauty, range, and diversity of jazz released in 2025 through a list of “10 best albums" feels as challenging, vain--and ultimately disappointing--as trying to photograph the Grand Canyon at sunset by placing a pinhole in front of a rudimentary digital camera's lens.

Arthur Blythe: Lenox Avenue Breakdown

by Chris May
January 31, 2024

One of the most egregiously underestimated albums in jazz history, alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe's Lenox Avenue Breakdown was released on vinyl by Columbia in 1979 and on CD by Columbia (Japan) in 1995 and Koch Jazz in 1998. That's it bar a dodgy fourfer. Blythe fronts a septet completed by flautist James Newton, tubaist Bob Stewart, ...

JC Sanford with Anthony Cox and Michael Cain: New Past

by Troy Dostert
October 19, 2023

Although he has shown himself to be adept in crafting big-band releases such as Views from the Inside (Whirlwind, 2014), trombonist JC Sanford usually works in a pared-down setting, such as his quartet release Keratoconus (Shifting Paradigm, 2019) or, more recently, the two volumes of his trio-based Imminent Standards (Shifting Paradigm, 2021 and 2022). Here he ...
