Reach up to the CD shelf and pull a handful of Fred Hersch CDS down. You'll find that the pianist has a good thing going with the Village Vanguard.

Mike Holober: Balancing Act
by Angelo Leonardi
Non è facile coniugare raffinatezza formale e tensione emotiva, meticolose orchestrazioni e libertà individuale, sottigliezze cameristiche e momenti jazzisticamente impetuosi. A capo del suo ottetto, Mike Holober offre un appassionante esempio di tutto ciò, realizzando il suo lavoro più maturo e ricercato, a distanza di sei anni dal precedente con la Gotham Jazz Orchestra ...
Lucian Ban Elevation: Songs from Afar
by Neri Pollastri
Residente negli USA ma nato e cresciuto a Teaca, villaggio della Transilvania, il pianista Lucian Ban presenta in questo CD una panoramica della sua poetica, cangiante fin dalla disposizione della formazione: un classico quartetto con il sax tenore di Abraham Burton, che si allarga a quintetto in quasi tutte le tracce per la presenza della viola ...
Christopher Zuar Orchestra: Musings
by Jack Bowers
When a composer / arranger who hasn't yet turned thirty can enlist the caliber of musicians who are present and accounted for on Musings, the inescapable assumption is that something special is afoot. Upon listening, that appraisal proves to be quite accurate, as young Christopher Zuar (twenty-seven when this debut album was recorded) presents seven of ...
Renku: Live In Greenwich Village
by John Sharpe
Born in Israel, raised in Paris and the American Midwest, saxophonist Michael Attias has lived in NYC since 1994.

That's the name of the co-operative threesome rounded out by in ...
Lucian Ban: Songs From Afar
by Budd Kopman
It is a truism that musical art, in whatever genre, entails much more than just the technical, either physical or theoretical.

The performer brings everything (including, of course, the extra-musical) he or she ...

Fred Hersch Trio at The Village Vanguard
by Dan Bilawsky
Fred Hersch Trio Village Vanguard New York, NY October 26, 2015 While sitting in wait before a set at New York's Village Vanguard, the eyes are inevitably drawn to the various photos, posters, and odds and ends lining the walls--images and items that may seem random and incongruous to the ...
Ingrid Laubrock Anti-House: Roulette of the Cradle
by John Sharpe
The fact that Ingrid Laubrock's Anti-house is an established working band is borne out by the degree of trust the German saxophonist places in her world class cast of collaborators. But even though she doesn't put in an appearance until part way through the second track, her imprint is all over the outfit's third release, which ...
