John Taylor: Requiem for a Dream
by AAJ Italy Staff
Commissionata nel 2007 dall'università di York (UK), questa suite di cinquanta minuti trae spunto dall'opera dello scrittore statunitense Kurt Vonnegut.

John Taylor: Requiem for a Dreamer
by John Kelman
It's been three years since John Taylor's last trio disc, but this time the British pianist takes a small detour, rather than continue the winning streak of Angel of the Presence (Cam Jazz, 2006) and Whirlpool (Cam Jazz, 2008).

Julian Siegel Quartet: Urban Theme Park
by Bruce Lindsay
The Julian Siegel Quartet epitomizes some of the finest elements of jazz: creativity, virtuosity, collaboration, invention and (the often neglected) fun. As a result, Urban Theme Park, the band's second album, is a positive feast of music. Broadly speaking, this is probably best described as post-bop, but no single definition can encapsulate the breadth of vision ...
