Yells at Eels: In Quiet Waters
by Karl Ackermann
It would seem that trumpeter Dennis González could easily find a place among the better-known artists in jazz were it not for a deep commitment to making generally undefinable music and priorities that include putting his academic and literary responsibilities out front. From the time of his first release as a leader, Air Light (Sleep Sailor) ...
Gary Peacock Trio: Now This
by Mark Sullivan
On some level it must be daunting to play in a piano trio with bassist Gary Peacock. He's a longtime member of the Keith Jarrett Standards Trio (with drummer Jack DeJohnette), arguably the definitive contemporary piano trio. Before that, he worked with the great Bill Evans, and with iconoclast Paul Bley (often in the company of ...
Gary Peacock Trio: Now This
by Karl Ackermann
Some of bassist Gary Peacock's earliest musical associations speak to a career that has been nurtured by unusually well-rounded experiences. Subbing for Ron Carter in gigs with Miles Davis, playing with the Bill Evans Trio and pianist Paul Bley and a stay with saxophonist Albert Ayler provided Peacock with foundations that ran the gamut from main-stream ...
Dave Douglas: There's Wisdom Everywhere in the Universe
by Dave Wayne
We're republishing this June 2013 in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of Dave Douglas's Greenleaf Music record label. When All About Jazz last spoke with trumpeter, multi-bandleader, teacher, composer, marathon runner, podcaster, and record label head honcho Dave Douglas in November, 2011, he was in the Ukraine on the last leg of a ...
La persistente attualità di Tim Berne
by Libero Farnè
Negli ultimi tempi sembra che Tim Berne, sessant'anni compiuti il 16 ottobre 2014, stia vivendo una seconda giovinezza e una grande maturità creativa, che lo hanno portato anche a collaborare con vari gruppi di musicisti emergenti che si potrebbero idealmente considerare suoi allievi. Dopo essere giunto a incidere per la ECM ha raggiunto un riconoscimento ancora ...
Francesco Bearzatti & The Bears: Live in France
by Neri Pollastri
Com'è noto, ancor prima della definitiva affermazione in Italia con il suo quartetto Tinissima Francesco Bearzatti aveva riscosso un forte successo in Francia, paese dove peraltro si era trasferito e risiede. Là aveva avuto occasione di collaborare con vari musicisti, in primis con Aldo Romano ed Emmanuel Bex--con i quali aveva formato il fortunato Bizart trio--ma ...
Peter Davenport: Bolide
by Dave Wayne
Peter Davenport's Bolide is the sort of album that often flies completely under the radar. It's what record collectors call a private issue; completely self-produced, self-distributed and available on a very small scale; generally only through the artist. Nevertheless, Bolide is a worthwhile listening experience. While not a familiar name to me prior to hearing this ...
StLJN Saturday Video Showcase: A John Abercrombie Sampler
This week, our video spotlight shines on guitarist John Abercrombie, who will be in St. Louis this coming Tuesday, April 7 to perform for the Jazz at Holmes series at Washington University. Abercrombie, who turned 70 last December, has been a significant force on the jazz scene since the turn of the 1970s, working with Billy ...
Matt Pavolka: The Horns Band
by Dave Wayne
I played Matt Pavolka's The Horns Band for a friend who immediately noticed that the very impressive list of acknowledgements contained more nods to literary and intellectual heavyweights such as Jose Saramago, Cormac McCarthy and Soren Kierkegaard than to musicians (the band members and Guillermo Klein). Perhaps Pavolka's intent was to show that he's interested in ...
Jazzdor 2014
by Vittorio Lo Conte
Ben ventiquattro concerti, dal 7 al 21 Novembre 2014 per la ventinovesima edizione del Jazzdor, festival tenuto a Strasburgo e dintorni, anche oltre il confine con la Gemania, come vedremo. Questa volta è stato dedicato alla figura del contrabbassista Jean Jacques Avenel, spesso protagonista. Jazzdor si è oramai consolidato come uno dei più ...
