Dave Burrell: The Crave
by John Sharpe
A leading free jazz pianist playing the music of Jelly Roll Morton? It's not as far-fetched as you might think. Morton has attracted a number of interpreters from the supposedly extreme end of the spectrum, from Sun Ra of course, first issued on Live At The Gibus (Atlantic, 1975), to Chicago trio Air on Air Lore ...
Giancarlo Velliscig - Direttore Artistico di Udin&Jazz
by Neri Pollastri
Un passato di cantante nell'ambito della musica popolare, etnica e di ricerca (che oggi torna a frequentare in rare ma sentite occasioni), un presente di padre che segue con emozione i progressi dei propri eredi (il figlio Alessio è da poco il nuovo cantante di Quintorigo), Giancarlo Velliscig è il direttore di Euritmica, associazione culturale udinese ...
Generation Next: Four Voices From Seattle
by Paul Rauch
Each generation, an insidious notion arises, and is passed about the musical world that jazz music, the only uniquely American art form is somehow experiencing a slow, but certain death. Inevitably, this notion is set aside, and somehow projected forward in time, as a new generation of artists rise to the occasion, not only facilitating the ...
Quantum Trio: Duality: Particles & Waves
by Geno Thackara
As anyone who's ever read or watched science fiction can tell you, there are any number of universes that occupy states different from our own. Limitless possibilities are created by the chances of things happening one way or another. There could be another Earth out there that's secretly run by penguins, one where Miles Davis actually ...
The Vampires: The Vampires Meet Lionel Loueke
by Mark Corroto
As we mature as music listeners, the need to select a piece of music as your summer theme song, go-to party album, or road trip recording fades. Just like the childhood requirement to designate who is your best friend, we don't wear the grooves of records out these days. Let's, for old times sake, choose a ...
SFJAZZ Collective: Live: SFJAZZ Center 2016 - Music of Miles Davis & Original Compositions
by John Kelman
In the thirteen years since the SFJAZZ Collective first came together in February 2004, this revolving door octet (septet, in 2009) of “cream of the crop" US-based jazz musicians has, most years, followed a consistent modus operandi: select a well-known jazz (and, in two cases, beyond jazz) musician and pay tribute through innovative arrangements of his/her ...
Tribute to Art Porter Jr.: Reflections of a Grateful Art
by Liz Goodwin
During the early to mid '90s, soprano and alto saxophonist-composer Art Porter, Jr. was charting a blazing course on the contemporary jazz soundscape. The 35-year-old Little Rock, Arkansas native had recorded and released four albums for Verve Records. He had been a guest on the albums of such titans as keyboardists Ramsey Lewis; Jeff Lorber (who ...

Ivo Perelman / Matthew Shipp The Art Of Perelman-Shipp Leo Records 2017 If you are looking for reviews of the seven new discs Ivo Perelman and Matthew Shipp released on Leo Records, you won't find them here. You probably won't find a proper review of the music elsewhere either, but ...
Sonny Rollins: Swiss Radio Days, Vol. 40 - Zurich 1959
by Chris M. Slawecki
The quantity and quality of music released in 1959 have led many to call it a watershed year for modern jazz. Even just cursory research calls up such landmark titles as John Coltrane's Giant Steps (Atlantic), Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come (Atlantic), Dave Brubeck's Time Out (Columbia) and Miles Davis's Kind of Blue ...
A dialogo con Silvia Bolognesi
by Neri Pollastri
Silvia Bolognesi, contrabbassista, compositrice e band leader senese, è tra le più interessanti personalità del jazz italiano. Recentemente ha inoltre ricevuto un riconoscimento internazionale tanto lusinghiero, quanto meritato: la chiamata di Roscoe Mitchell per entrare a far parte del sestetto da lui formato per un progetto in onore di John Coltrane, del quale ricorre quest'anno il ...
