Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Accomplish Jazz
by Jakob Baekgaard
The lineage of guitarists with a lyrical bent is staggering. From Charlie Christian to Kurt Rosenwinkel, guitarists have often been praised not only for their technical skills, but also for their ability to sculpt finely woven lines of melody. Beauty, however, is a strange thing and there is also another school of guitarists to which belongs ...
Jon Lundbom & Big Five Chord: Accomplish Jazz
by Mark Corroto
In the jazz world, there is something in the air. Barely detectable, but definitely something in the air these days. A whiff of change (or maybe the decay of traditions decomposing). It can be heard in the music the young lions (YL) are playing. These YLs are more like the Lee Morgan/Wayne Shorter YLs of the ...

I mille volti di Jon Irabagon
by AAJ Italy Staff
Fino all'ottobre 2008 Jon Irabagon, originario di Chicago, figlio di immigrati filippini, newyorchese d'adozione, era un illustre, talentuoso, sconosciuto. All'attivo il sassofonista aveva un esordio discografico passato quasi inosservato, Confluence, un ottimo secondo lavoro (licenziato nel 2009), Outright!, e ai più attenti esploratori della nuova Hollywood era senz'altro capito d'imbattersi nel suo nome, se non altro ...
Jon Irabagon: The Observer
by AAJ Italy Staff
Eccolo di nuovo quel diavolo di un Jon Irabagon! Ha da poco licenziato due album che hanno gettato non poco scompiglio nel mondo del jazz nordamericano - il clamoroso esordio di Outright! in quintetto e il formidabile I Don't Hear Nothin' But the Blues in duo con il batterista Mike Pride (senza contare i dischi con ...
Jon Irabagon with Mike Pride: I Don't Hear Nothin' But the Blues
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'immagine di copertina che ritrae un vecchio treno merci con due figure appollaiate sul tetto e il titolo così didascalico e perentorio farebbero pensare ad una qualche rivisitazione della musica delle radici nelle sue varie declinazioni ancorate al mito del viaggio e dell'avventura. Niente di più fuorviante perché il blues del titolo compare nel ruvido attacco ...

Jon Irabagon: The Observer
by John Sharpe
Back in the day this might have been seen as an “In the tradition" statement for someone like saxophonist Jon Irabagon--last heard in freely improvised settings on I Don't Hear Nothin' But The Blues {Loyal, 2009), with drummer Mike Pride, and the RIDD Quartet's Fiction Avalanche (Clean Feed, 2008), or artful deconstructions of the Blue Note ...
