César Cardoso: Bottom Shelf
by Roger Farbey
"Além" starts unceremoniously, almost mid-tune, tenor sax and guitar evoking a sultry Stan Getz mood. The labyrinthine structure of the title track adds to its appeal and benefits from strong playing with a feisty guitar solo. César Cardoso's soprano on “Ónica" evinces a delicate interplay between the sax and the guitar. It might be a bit ...
Roberto Cecchetto e il Questionario di Proust
by AAJ Staff
All About Jazz: Il tratto principale della mia musica. Roberto Cecchetto: È quello di lasciarsi semplicemente ascoltare. Non amo definire la mia musica da un punto di vista stilistico ma se dovessi farlo la metterei sicuramente in una galassia jazz. AAJ: La qualità che desidero nei musicisti che suonano con me. ...

Scott Colley: Staying In The Moment
by Mark Sullivan
Bassist Scott Colley was involved in three of the most well attended performances at the 2015 Detroit Jazz Festival: the Pat Metheny Trio with guest Kenny Garrett on opening night; the Pat Metheny/Gary Burton Quartet Reunion on Saturday night; and the grand closing performance featuring the North American premiere of Pat Metheny's “Hommage" to Eberhard Weber ...
Bastet: Eye of Ra
by Dave Wayne
Billing themselves as “original modern West Coast Jazz," I half- hoped to see Shelly Manne and Bud Shank pop up amongst the credits on Bastet's debut album Eye of Ra. Alas, the music of this Bay Area-based quartet apparently has very little to do with the Los Angeles- based West Coast jazz scene that spawned such ...
Libertango - The art and music of Leonardo Suarez Paz
by Duncan Heining
Argentinean violinist-composer Leonardo Suarez Paz personifies the tango. Both a dance and a music, Tango bridles with passion and seethes with a barely suppressed sexual tension. “To bridle" is the correct verb here with its dual connotations of intense emotion and constraint. It is far from the braggadocio of immature machismo and speaks instead to a ...
