Doug Collette's Best Releases of 2018
by Doug Collette
It wasn't hard in the least to compile a 'Best of...' list for 2018. The titles were self-evident as they rolled out, with almost clockwork regularity, over the course of the twelve months, ultimately comprising what I kept going back to most often during the year, enjoying each one more (and in a slightly different way) ...

The following would make up a pretty darn good all-star team of “bass" runners: John Hébert with Marty Ehrlich, Joshua Abrams, Drew Gress in Free Country, Sean ...
The Jamie Saft Quartet: Blue Dream
by Vincenzo Roggero
Se Solo a Genova ci aveva rivelato il lato sorprendentemente intimo e meditativo di Jamie Saft, Blue Dream espande sia a livello sonoro che di formazione quel mood e quella visione. Regalandoci così un album classico per struttura e concezione, sobrio nel rivisitare i canoni di un jazz in gran parte ancorato alla strada maestra, creativo ...

If RareNoise Records has a characteristic sound as ECM Records has a characteristic sound, that sound is defined Jamie Saft. Whether it is the unholy ministry of Slobber Pup or the plaintive solo piano of his recent Solo A Genova (RareNoise, 2018), multi-instrumentalist Saft has brought Giacomo Bruzzo's and Eraldo Bernocchi's eclectic-electric British label front and ...
