Jenny Scheinman: Some Serious Mischief
by Ian Patterson
It's often the case that the most interesting music is made by musicians with a broad musical palette and openness to new paths and horizons. Violinist/composer Jenny Scheinman certainly qualifies in both regards. Equally at home playing folk tunes or working in essentially modern jazz setups, Scheinman also jumps at the chance to play with classical ...
Jenny Scheinman: Mischief & Mayhem
by Jack Huntley
Violinist Jenny Scheinman's Mischief & Mayhem fires on all cylinders. Everything works--from arrangements to overall track cohesion, from the music's fertile energy to the musician's creative interplay, and from the quality of sound engineering to the ingeniously accomplished album art--making this a near-flawless package of musical craftsmanship. Mischief & Mayhem indeed, as the album is nothing ...

Stefano Bollani: And Now For Something Completely Different
by Ian Patterson
Impersonating singer Paolo Conte and other Italian cultural icons comes as naturally to pianist Stefano Bollani as interpreting the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Michael Jackson, Brian Wilson, or Maurice Ravel--or indeed, writing novels. To say that Bollani is multitalented is a bit like saying Art Tatum could play the piano a bit. Oh, and Bollani ...

Stefano Bollani, retrato múltiple de un grande ubicuo
by Joan A. Cararach
“Bollani è un grande, ma... ha il dono dell'ubiquità? E' dappertutto!"Así, en un comentario escrito en Facebook, expresaba su perplejidad una persona ante la constante presencia de Stefano Bollani (Milán, 1972) en los medios de comunicación italianos, tanto por su actividad en concierto (el pianista es, según muchos promotores italianos, seguro de venta de ...

Computer Music, Part 2
by Nick Catalano
Last month we initiated an exploration into the world of non-traditional electronic musical “instruments," by referencing experiments that Wallace Roney had undertaken by including a turntablist in his band a few years ago. It was merely one example of the burgeoning use of the turntable in music, and I noted the interest it had for me ...

Quindici perle che come poche testimoniano il rigore creativo di menti tra le più fervide della scena newyorchese, affermiamo noi.
