Steve Kuhn: At This Time...
by Budd Kopman
The wonderful and deeply satisfying At This Time... brings together pianist Steve Kuhn leading a trio comprised of electric bassist Steve Swallow and the ubiquitous (and always smiling drummer) Joey Baron. The immediate impulse for the recording was an extended set by this trio at Birdland, in New York City in 2015. Swallow and ...
Ferenc Snetberger: In Concert
by Mark Sullivan
Hungarian classical guitarist Ferenc Snétberger makes his ECM debut with a live solo guitar recording, surely the most demanding and revealing format for any guitarist. His music is the product of diverse stylistic influences: starting with jazz, but then a strong classical music influence, followed by exposure to Brazilian, South American, and flamenco guitar music. Snétberger ...

Marc Copland: Zenith
by Budd Kopman
Whenever pianist Marc Copland is a sideman on a session, much less leading the session, there are very high expectations for the music. Whether it is the lustrous sound he gets from the keyboard, which includes his pedalling, the dense harmonies which create shimmering harmonics or the intelligence of his lines and compositions, Copland has a ...
Marc Copland: Zenith
by Dan McClenaghan
After releasing a series of excellent but under-recognized CDs on various small record labels--starting in the mid-1980s--pianist Marc Copland rose in prominence in 2006 when he took up residence on Germany's Pirouet Records.

Save the Date - Agosto 2015
by Luca Canini
Agosto, festival miei non vi conosco. Mentre al di là delle Alpi è tempo di gustosissime abbuffate (Willisau, Saalfelden, Mulhouse, Lisbona: fatevi un giro sui siti dei giganti europei), in Italia impazzano le sagre balneari e gli eventi vacanzieri. Poco da salvare. E francamente fa una certa tristezza leggere i programmi di rassegne ...
