Anthony Davis - Jason Robinson: Cerulean Landscape

Read "Cerulean Landscape" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Sia benedetto Cerulean Landscape! Da troppo tempo Anthony Davis marcava visita. Non che il nostro fosse finito in naftalina: tra opere, sinfonie, cattedre e concerti [vedasi quello del 2009 a Botticino], il baffuto pianista si è dato un gran da fare negli ultimi anni. E però era da un bel pezzo [se i calcoli sono esatti, ...

Jason Robinson: Cerberus Reigning

Read "Cerberus Reigning" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


Legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius' classic “3 Views of a Secret" could adequately describe saxophonist Jason Robinson's three incredibly distinct recordings. Concurrent 2010 releases include The Two Faces of Janus (Cuneiform), with a tremendous ensemble featuring Drew Gress, Liberty Ellman, George Schuller, Marty Ehrlich and Rudresh Mahanthappa; and the more intimate, but equally daring duo collaboration, Cerulean ...

Jason Robinson: The New Western

Read "Jason Robinson: The New Western" reviewed by Gordon Marshall

A supple technician with a penchant for abstract thought, he splices together different strains of theory and logic with combinatory takes on period, school and style. A ...
