Alberto Pinton: la nostra parte del puzzle
by Marco Colonna
Scrivere di Alberto Pinton è una delle occasioni ghiotte che speravo di avere collaborando occasionalmente con la divulgazione giornalistica" del jazz. Sapendo bene di non essere un tecnico della scrittura, ma un semplice veneratore del linguaggio, mi avvicino all'impresa con le cuffie, chiudendo il mondo fuori per la durata di un disco. Questa ...
James Brandon Lewis: Radiant Imprints
by Vincenzo Roggero
Da quando è ritornato sulla scena musicale nel 2014 con Divine Travels -dopo l'esordio piuttosto convenzionale di Moments nel 2010 -facendo capire di non essere il solito fenomeno del sax tenore destinato a ballare il tempo di un estate, James Brandon Lewis non ha più sbagliato un colpo, sia sul versante discografico che nelle numerose esibizioni ...

Benjamin Boone: The Poetry of Jazz
by Mark Corroto

The composer/saxophonist's vision to put music to the U.S. Poet Laureate Philip Levine's prose is a reminder to listeners that jazz was birthed by the common man, and is not to be ...
Leonardo Pavkovic: Nothing is Ordinary
by Chris M. Slawecki
More than any other person, Leonardo Pavkovic has made me write some crazy shit. Pavkovic is the primal force behind the joyously eclectic MoonJune Records, which he established in 2001. Established" may not be the right word: I am truly an unusual and rules breaking call-it-record-company with a 'label' identity despite the fact that ...

Here are five live clips of Coltrane in action: Here's Coltrane (ts), Eric Dolphy (as), McCoy Tyner (p), ...
Miles Davis: Miles Davis & John Coltrane - The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6
by Mike Jurkovic
As discussed at length in the liners by Ashley Kahn, the general consensus at the time (and a theory Miles' held strongly too) was that his landmark Quintet --Miles Davis, John Coltrane, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb and flight fingered pianist Wynton Kelly--was on its last leg, and you could cut the personal and creative ...
