The Claudia Quintet: Super Petite
by Angelo Leonardi
Preceduto dal tour che ha toccato anche l'Italia in marzo, ecco l'ottavo disco del Claudia Quintet registrato nell'agosto 2015 con la formazione modificata qualche anno fa, con Red Wierenga al posto di Ted Reichman. Con due decenni di attività continuativa, il quintetto di John Hollenbeck è uno degli organici più stabili del jazz contemporaneo e rimane ...
The Claudia Quintet: Super Petite
by Glenn Astarita
For this widely acclaimed band's 8th album, drummer John Hollenbeck decided to compose concise pieces that get the job done in less time stating: “When the tunes are longer, there tend to be moments when not a whole lot is happening. If you have a really short tune, the whole thing has to be compelling." Hence, ...
The Claudia Quintet: Super Petite
by Geno Thackara
If there's one thing you can pin down about the Claudia Quintet, it's their inability to be pinned down. Starting off this release with “Nightbreak" is like dropping into a soundtrack to some sleepy '50s-style arty cartoon, with an acoustic retro tone that comes from the combination of vibraphone and clarinet. The piece isn't catchy and ...

Sebastian Noelle: Shelter
by Budd Kopman
Guitarist Sebastian Noelle is a very busy player, but just does not make many records, which seem to come about every five years: Across The River (2006), Koan (2011) and now the marvelous Shelter. Assembling a first rate band consisting of Marc Mommaas on tenor saxophone (heard most recently on Ballads And Standards), pianist ...
The Claudia Quintet: Super Petite
by Mark Corroto
Except for a brief dalliance with the ingénue Lucy, drummer and bandleader John Hollenbeck has been faithful to his Claudia for nearly twenty years. Super Petite is the 8th release and 7th on Cuneiform Records. Actually, the band leader has had others. Besides his Lucy Quartet, there is his John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble, Refuge Trio, duos ...
Henning Sieverts: Double Quartet
by Glenn Astarita
The press kit discloses a wealth of thought-provoking information behind bassist, composer, Henning Sievert's motivation for this Double Quartet release. In sum, these compositions reflect the output of his deep dive into 600 years of the Bavarian Irsee Monastery and his discovery of a mass created in 1614, namely for the Abbey's festival of St. Benedict. ...
