3 Cohens: Tightrope
by Angelo Leonardi
Nei loro dischi precedenti (vedi Family) c'erano diversi momenti in cui i fratelli israeliani s'esibivano in libere improvvisazioni a tre voci. In questo nuovo lavoro questa modalità improvvisativa diventa centrale, pur innestandosi nel rispetto della tradizione che caratterizza la loro collaborazione. Il trombettista Avishai Cohen (da non confondere con l'omonimo bassista), il sassofonista Yuval ...
3 Cohens: Tightrope
by Dan Bilawsky
It shouldn't come as a shock that the 3 Cohens stress the idea of interconnectedness in their music; soprano saxophonist Yuval Cohen, multi-reedist Anat Cohen and trumpeter Avishai Cohen are, after all, blood. With albums like One (Anzic, 2004), Braid (Anzic, 2007) and Family (Anzic, 2011), these three horn-playing siblings have made it clear that they're ...
Bryn Roberts: Fables
by Glenn Astarita
Born in Canada, pianist Bryn Roberts has enjoyed a prolific career as a session artist since moving to New York City in 2001. Snuggled within a modern mainstream vibe, his persuasive compositions pay homage to melodic content, often complemented by saxophonist Seamus Blake's burly delivery and fluid lines. Nonetheless, many of these works contain quite a ...

R.J. DeLuke's Best Releases of 2012
by R.J. DeLuke
A ton of fine music came out in 2012, like most years, making these year-end lists very difficult. A lot we don't get to hear, so that limits some. For example, I've not yet heard the 2012 disks of drummer Jack DeJohnette, trumpeter Christian Scott or guitarist John McLaughlin and the Fourth Dimension. Having seen each ...

Tyshawn Sorey: Composite Reality
by Daniel Lehner
Though Tyshawn Sorey's Oblique-I (Pi Recordings, 2011) is his most recent release to date, it's actually comprised of some of the percussionist/composer's earliest work. Containing music that is sonically dense, enormously challenging and (as the title suggests) consistently blurs and obscures the lines drawn between improvisation and composition, it has been hailed by critics and fans ...
