Meet Hiroyuki Masuko
by Tessa Souter and Andrea Wolper
Although the Super Fans column started out with a New York focus, we realize there's a world of jazz--and jazz fans--beyond. Since those first columns in 2016, we've presented Super Fans from across the United States, including some who live part-time in other countries. But now we've officially gone international, with our first Super Fan from ...
Concerti dei Seminari di Siena Jazz: un “non festival” dalle qualità uniche
by Neri Pollastri
Siena Concerti dei Seminari di Siena Jazz 23.7-7.8. 2018 Tra i tanti festival estivi della penisola ce n'è uno --autorevole, ricco di proposte e musicisti --che potremmo tuttavia definire un non festival: Siena Jazz, ovvero i concerti che, per due settimane, ogni sera vedono in scena formazioni composte dai docenti ...

by Mario Calvitti

Claus Waidtlow: A New Beginning
by Jakob Baekgaard
Saxophonist Claus Waidtløw has been a vital part of the Danish jazz scene for many years. At the beginning of the '90s, he was already established on the scene and in 1997 he released his debut as a leader, Claustrophobia, on Stunt Records (notice the use of the pun on the saxophonist's name in the title). ...
Brad Mehldau Trio al Parco della Musica, Roma
by Mario Calvitti

Brad Mehldau Trio: Seymour Reads The Constitution!
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Brad Mehldau has an adventurous and innovative side, one that he displays on Largo (Warner Brothers, 2002) and Highway Rider (Nonesuch, 2010), albums that feature expansive and--with Largo--electronic inputs. But he always returns to the acoustic trio format that brought him to prominence. It began with a series of five Art Of The Trio albums ...
Brad Mehldau Trio: Seymour Reads The Constitution!
by Doug Collette
The track listing of Seymour Reads The Constitution! is ultimately as deceptive as the album's title (not to mention its cryptic cover image). The ten cuts feature only three compositions written by Brad Mehldau, yet these pieces constitute almost half the record's sixty-plus minutes playing time. As a result, the covers provide exceptional pacing because the ...
Brad Mehldau Trio's New Album, "Seymour Reads the Constitution!," Out Now

The pianist and his longtime trio, which includes drummer Jeff Ballard and bassist Larry Grenadier, perform three Mehldau originals combined with interpretations of pop songs (Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson), jazz tunes (Elmo Hope, Sam Rivers), and one work from the American ...
