Refuge Trio: Refuge Trio
by Glenn Astarita
The musical sound and scope of Refuge Trio resembles a sanctuary of genre-morphing frameworks, neatly compacted into a conspicuous group-focused mindset. Appropriately, the trio's name was inspired by Joni Mitchell's song “Refuge of The Roads," from the legendary singer/songwriter's Hejira (Elektra/Asylum, 1976), to coincide with a performance at the 2002 Wall-to-Wall Joni Mitchell concert at Symphony ...

John Hollenbeck: A Blessing
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'aspetto di A Blessing che più colpisce al primo ascolto è il lungo snodarsi delle linee melodiche, lontano dalla stringatezza percussiva tipica del jazz per big band. I suoi temi avvolgono ipnotici, quasi minimalisti, costruiti su cellule che sviluppano lente e inesorabili, affidate a insiemi strumentali tipici della scrittura di Gil Evans e altri arrangiatori bianchi ...
