Paul Shapiro: Shofarot Verses
by Eyal Hareuveni
Saxophonist Paul Shapiro is one of the few who succeeded in blending organic soul and R&B with the Jewish tradition--the musical one and the liturgical texts--in a highly original, convincing manner. His fourth album for John Zorn's Tzadik label Radical Jewish Culture series enriches his unique and personal art. Shofarot Verses is ...
Save the Date - Settembre 2014
by Luca Canini
Settembre è il mese del ripensamento. In questo caso doveroso perché si chiude un agosto strano e complicato per il jazz italiano. Un agosto che ha perso per strada il festival di Sant'Anna Arresi, posticipato in blocco a data da destinarsi, e gran parte di quello di Rocella, prima rinviato a dicembre (notizia diffusa attraverso un ...
Joel Harrison: Mother Stump
by Dave Wayne
Given his proclivity for wildly eclectic, big-concept musical projects featuring improbable combinations of multi-ethnic instrumentalists, Joel Harrison is about the last guitarist I'd expect to record a funky slab of power-trio jazz-rock-funk fusion. Across the board, his guitaristic skills have taken a back seat to compositional concerns and rich, detailed arrangements. Yet, here is Mother Stump, ...
Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: Double Windsor
by Henning Bolte
The piano trio is the supreme discipline in jazz. Through rich possibilities, it functions as a strong filter sifting out those few who were and are able to set new standards.
