Double Trio De Clarinettes: Itineraire Bis

Read "Itineraire Bis" reviewed by Vic Albani


Benedetti da alcuni illuminati nomi che gestiscono cose importanti del jazz europeo (vedi Philippe Ochem, direttore del Jazz d'Or festival di Strasburgo, Armand Meignan, direttore del festival di Le Mans, Frank Baumann del Goethe Institut di Minsk, l'Istituto di cultura francese dello stesso centro e altri nomi dello stesso calibro) nascono di tanto in tanto progetti ...

Red Norvo: Four Classic Albums

Read "Red Norvo: Four Classic Albums" reviewed by David Rickert


Red Norvo played the vibes while leading his own band during the swing era and grew into smaller groups in the forties and fifites once the practicality of leading a large ensemble became too much. He was one of the first to specialize of what has always been somewhat of an unusual instrument for jazz, but ...

Alon Nechushtan: Ritual Fire

Read "Ritual Fire" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Nato in Israele nel 1974 e dal 2003 negli USA, il pianista Alon Nechushtan vanta tra i propri mentori anche Paul Bley e Bob Brookmeyer, i quali evidentemente gli hanno trasmesso quelle tracce del magistero di Jimmy Giuffre che caratterizzano questo eccellente lavoro d'improvvisazione--idealmente ispirato alla creatività pittorica istantanea di Jackson Pollock--e che vengono a più ...

Bill Evans, Bob Brookmeyer: The Ivory Hunters

Read "The Ivory Hunters" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo


Solo nel jazz accadono simili incontri, dove le regole vengono stravolte. È il caso di questa seduta discografica del 1959, che vede entrare in sala di incisione un quartetto guidato da un pianista ed un trombonista. Grazie all'idea estemporanea del produttore, Bob Brookmeyer viene invitato a sedersi al pianoforte e ne discende un percorso davvero ragguardevole. ...

Pandelis Karayorgis Trio: Cocoon

Read "Cocoon" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Può un classico piano-trio--nel quale viene rispettata la canonica suddivisione dei ruoli (il contrabbasso fa il contrabbasso, la batteria suona come una batteria), dove trova posto l'usuale successione di assoli e l'altrettanto usuale alternanza tra brani lenti e brani veloci, dove le composizioni sono basate quasi interamente sul blues, il più classico dei generi musicali americani--sembrare ...

John McNeil: Hush Point

Read "John McNeil: Hush Point" reviewed by Dave Wayne


Anyone who has played music with others on a regular basis understands inherently that, during a live performance, the sounds emanating from the instruments themselves have a way of clashing or canceling each other out. It's all in the frequencies. Bass and toms get mixed up on the low end, cymbals can kill a clarinet or ...

L.A. Six: Frame of Mind

Read "Frame of Mind" reviewed by Jack Bowers


Once upon a time ('way back in the 1970s-80s) there was the peerless L.A. Four (Bud Shank, Laurindo Almeida, Ray Brown, Shelly Manne) and now we have the L.A. Six, another hard-swinging post-bop ensemble that has chosen to walk in some rather large shoes by recording a splendid debut album, Frame of Mind. With Tom Peterson ...

Notable & Nearly Missed in 2013

Read "Notable & Nearly Missed in 2013" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


More music is released each year than can be realistically followed by a given writer. I typically listen to much more music than I write about, not because this music is not worthy somehow but there is so little time. So, this year, I am going to write a “Notable & Nearly Missed" column to catch ...
