Paolo Benedettini: Paolo Benedettini Quartet
by Francesco Martinelli
I'm afraid a little local pride is in order here. Bassist Paolo Benedettini hails from my hometown of Pisa, and the disc has been recorded and produced locally in cooperation with the Jazzwide organization, very active in promoting events both in the club of the same name as well as in other venues of the Leaning ...
Stefano Bollani / Hamilton de Holanda: O que sera
by Ian Patterson
There's a relative paucity of piano and guitar duo recordings; Bill Evans and Jim Hall in the world of jazz, Horacio Salgán and the late Ubaldo de Lio in the world of tango, and Pamela and Robert Trent in the classical world are notable exceptions. When it comes to crossover, jazz pianist Michel Camilo and flamenco ...
Julian Lage: Living Lage
by Dan Bilawsky
It's good to be Julian Lage. The former wunderkind is all grown up and living large, playing with some of the best musicians on the planet; that makes perfect sense, considering he's also one of them. The young guitarist has done his homework, paid his dues and earned his stripes, and now he's spreading his wings ...
Losen Records: New Norwegian Sounds
by Jakob Baekgaard
Mention the phrase “the Norwegian sound" and many listeners will get an image in their head. An image of a natural, deep echoing sound influenced by the mountains and hills of the Norwegian landscape. Such an image is, of course, a cliché, but to some critics it has stuck and distorted the rich fertility of the ...
Take Five With Pat Pratico
by AAJ Staff
Meet Pasquale J Pratico:I was born in Trenton in 1955 to an Italian-American family. My brothers and my younger sister were raised in a family restaurant business. I learned to cook and still cook most of the time with the help of my wife, Mary. My uncles Nate and Vince are professional musicians and ...
Fred Hersch and Julian Lage: Free Flying
by Victor L. Schermer
This album is the latest of several recordings in which pianist Fred Hersch solos or joins forces with some highly intelligent, advanced musicians to provide jazz renditions with a sophisticated, chamber music quality. Others are Hersch's Alone at the Vanguard (Palmetto, 2011); Leaves of Grass (Palmetto, 2005)--an ensemble composition based on Walt Whitman's poems--and two additional ...
The New Gary Burton Quartet: Guided Tour
by John Kelman
For some, retirement means winding down and enjoying what life has to offer, after a lifetime spent with the daily grind of making a living. With most musicians, however, while making a living has been a not insignificant challenge, making music can hardly be called a daily grind; it's work, to be sure, but it's also ...
Bill Evans Trio: How My Heart Sings
by C. Michael Bailey
The Bill Evans Trio How My Heart Sings OJC 1962/2013 Pianist Bill Evans' 1962 Riverside recording How My Heart Sings concludes the first wave of re-issues celebrating the 60th anniversary of Riverside Records. The previous releases include: alto saxophonist Julian Cannonball Adderley's 1959 Things Are Getting Better, guitarist Wes Montgomery's ...
John Moriarty: Echoes
by Ian Patterson
Adopting a traditional, straight-ahead approach to the quartet, Irish guitarist John Moriarty gathered three established New York-based musicians for one day in the Bunker Studios, Brooklyn. The title suggests homage, and there is a hint of classic Blue Note in the leader's clean lines--evocative of guitarist Jim Hall--and in half of the songs that delve into ...
OWL Trio: OWL Trio
by Dan Bilawsky
In hindsight, the creation of OWL Trio seems to have been inevitable, but its participants still needed a little help to see what was staring them in the face all the while; bassist Orlando le Fleming, saxophonist Will Vinson and guitarist Lage Lund have been playing together in each others bands and in various other groupings ...
