José James: una grande voce per la Black Music
by Angelo Leonardi
La recente pubblicazione per la Blue Note di Yesterday I Had the Blues -The Music of Billie Holiday , torna a collocare José James in una piena cornice jazzistica. È una commemorazione della cantante e un approccio tradizionale che oggi James affronta senza paura d'apparire prigionero del passato. L'altro esempio riguarda l'album For All We Know, ...
Roberta Piket: One For Marian: Celebrating Marian McPartland
by Karl Ackermann
A young, unrecorded artist is asked to share her talents, sitting in a chair that had been warmed by Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Brad Mehldau, Mary Lou Williams, Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea and Dizzy Gillespie to name just a few of the legends who graced Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz series. It says a great deal about ...
John Coltrane: Meditations
by Sacha O'Grady
One man's meditation can be a migraine to another. By the early '60's, John Coltrane found himself moving ever further away from traditional forms of musical expression, and into what could be described as uncharted territory, even for jazz. So much so that the saxophonist's influence and ability to break down barriers not only within his ...
Jason Palmer and Cédric Hanriot: City Of Poets
by Roger Farbey
The formal structure of this album recorded live at London's Pizza Express Jazz Club on September 23, 2014, centres around Olivier Messiaen's Seven modes of limited transposition, musical modes or scales that fulfil specific criteria relating to their symmetry and the repetition of their interval groups.

Gianluca Petrella e la Cosmic Renaissance
by Giuseppe Segala
Cinque brani, diversi per impostazione e climax ma condotti da un filo rosso, da un'idea, da una coerenza. Questo il contenuto dell'EP di Gianluca Petrella con la sua Cosmic Renaissance: un'uscita pubblicata solo in vinile, che prelude alla prossima distribuzione di un CD. Siamo di fronte al primo assaggio di questa nuova avventura, che però dimostra ...
John Coltrane: Interstellar Space
by Sacha O'Grady
As the '60s dawned it would seem that John Coltrane was determined to permanently turn his back on being an accessible artist. Often considered as one of his most influential works, Interstellar Space is certainly not for everyone. Fans of My Favorite Things and Blue Train may struggle with its seemingly random and “multidirectional" explorations. Also, ...

It is almost certain that many readers of these pages have at one time or another been faced with a recording that you just did not like or could not get into. Now, life is short, and there is no dishonor in moving on to other things. However, perhaps this work was recommended or it had ...
