Mike Clark: Blueprints of Jazz Vol.1
by AAJ Italy Staff
Ne è passata di acqua sotto i ponti da quando Herbie Hancock lanciava un giovane batterista, Mike Clarck, su Thrust, il famoso disco degli Heandhunters. Dopo l'inaspettata notorietà (e un assolo, quello contenuto in “Actual Proof," da cui tanti batteristi e DJ hanno attinto) Mike Clarck ha continuato ad incidere fusion (anche con il bassista di ...
Mike Clark: Blueprints of Jazz, Vol. 1
by Dan Bilawsky
When Mike Clark's name comes up in conversation, most people recall his brilliant playing and funk fusion grooves on Herbie Hancock's Thrust (Columbia/Legacy, 1974).

by George Kanzler
Some live jazz albums transport the listener. If you shut your eyes, you can picture the dim lights of the candles on the tables, the clinking sound of ice cubes falling into glass tumblers... you might even find yourself looking around for someone to take your drink order. One Night at The Kitano makes you feel ...
Jed Levy: Evans Explorations
by Elliott Simon
Explorations (Riverside, 1961) is one of two landmark studio recordings from the Bill Evans trio that, through chordal voicings, a classically-based style and egalitarian instrumental interplay, moved the jazz piano trio toward impressionism and away from a rhythmic approach. It still sounds amazingly contemporary and the task that tenor saxophonist Jed Levy has set for himself ...

by Budd Kopman
Some players seem to enjoy the adventure of not knowing with whom they are going to play with next, while others would rather develop the interpersonal communication that can only come with time. Since jazz is, at its core, an improvisational art, playing in the moment is the ideal, with different kinds of music requiring different ...

Levy's tunes are small samples of exploration. With a different number of bars, a key change or a different tempo, Levy takes the listener to unexpected places.
