Roberto Bonati: Macbeth and the Whale

Read "Roberto Bonati: Macbeth and the Whale" reviewed by Duncan Heining

by Duncan Heining

Italian bassist-composer Robert Bonati is one of the most ambitious and literate composers in contemporary jazz. Between 2000-2006, he released four ground-breaking extended works with the ParmaFrontiere Orchestra. While they attracted notice in Italy, they seemed to pass by the wider jazz audience in Europe, North America and the Far East. If at one level, the ...

Uwe Oberg: Work

Read "Work" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Work is a fully realized solo recording by German pianist Owe Oberg. He makes a strong case, in the six tracks/eight compositions, for his overflowing abundance of skill and resourcefulness. Recorded in 2008, this disc comes to light (why the wait?) now, with the release of Turns (Leo, 2016) with Silke Eberhard and another solo record ...

Co-Improvisation: Explaining the Magic

Read "Co-Improvisation: Explaining the Magic" reviewed by Victor L. Schermer

by Victor L. Schermer

When we listen to great jazz performances, we pay most attention to the soloists, some of whom become our musical heroes. In that respect, jazz is an affirmation of the individual, the uniqueness and liberation of either the “free and joyful spirit," of whom there was none greater than Louis Armstrong, or the arduous struggle of ...

Stan Getz

Read "Stan Getz" reviewed by Mark Barnett

by Mark Barnett

The story of Stan Getz (1927-1991) has to begin with Lester Young. Before Young, tenor sax players seemed awash in testosterone. Their sound was full, rich, deep, blown hard out of the instrument's lower registers, with emotion pouring out in lavish swoops and honks. Then along came Lester. In the post-war 1940s, he invented a new ...

Hank Mobley: Soul Station - 1960

Read "Hank Mobley: Soul Station - 1960" reviewed by Marc Davis

by Marc Davis

Hank Mobley is a mystery to me. On the one hand, I mostly love his relaxed style of bop. Sometimes it's round and smooth, sometimes rock hard, sometimes full of soul and funk. What's not to like? On the other hand, the same relaxed style can sometimes seem lazy. Critics sure thought ...
