Dan Berg & The Gestalt: Manifesto

Read "Manifesto" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


The idea of creation through inclusion seems to be lost on a lot of musicians today. Jazz--like every other area of music--has become highly compartmentalized. A need to place oneself as a direct descendant of a particular artist or style often limits horizon-expanding opportunities and results in stunted creativity. Pianist/composer Dan Berg and his band, The ...

Dan Berg & The Gestalt: Manifesto

Read "Manifesto" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Manifesto, the debut release from Dan Berg & The Gestalt, may be one of 2010's best recordings. The composer/keyboardist--a Brooklyn native and former student of reed man Marty Ehrlich--has created a smart, versatile and accessible collection that bridges genres and techniques, while remaining at home in the jazz idiom. With touches of Tin Hat Trio, bits ...

The Tiptons Sax Quartet: Laws of Motion

Read "Laws of Motion" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


La storia della musica afroamericana annovera un certo numero di quartetti per soli sassofoni che nel corso degli anni da semplici sezioni per grandi orchestre (su tutte i Four Brothers di hermaniana memoria), hanno via via acquisito valenza artistica e autonomia esecutiva. Basti ricordare blasonate formazioni dagli innegabili meriti artistici quali il World Saxophone Quartet, il ...

Saxophonist/flutist Jessica Lurie and drummer/percussionist Andrew Drury recorded four tracks in their basement “studio, and five others were captured live in varying locales. Though the result turns out rather disjointed, ...
