Trio 3 (Andrew Cyrille, Reggie Workman, Oliver Lake): Visiting Texture
by Giuseppe Segala
Ecco l'ennesimo capitolo della pregnante avventura del Trio 3, iniziata una trentina di anni fa con l'incontro di questi titani della musica e dell'improvvisazione contemporanea.

Walter Smith III: Jazz Explorer
by R.J. DeLuke
Walter Smith stands straight when he raises his tenor sax to his mouth to embark on a solo, or play enthralling, serpentine, contrapuntal lines in unison with band mates like Ambrose Akinmusire. [Check out “Confessions To My Unborn Daughter" from Akinmusire's When the Heart Emerges Glistening.] It's a muscular sound that emerged from his horn. Authoritative. ...
Jazzahead: A Look at Jazz In Germany
Looking forward but also remembering… Peter Brötzmann stands at the edge of the stage with his tenor sax hanging on its sling. He is holding the mouthpiece in his hand, trimming a reed, listening intently: drummer Oliver Steidle is letting rip, but his playing is also very structured.
