Ashley Daneman: Beauty Indestructible
by Angelo Leonardi
È un disco che colpisce, questo di Ashley Daneman, e merita tutta la nostra attenzione. Per certi aspetti ricorda quello di Becca Stevens di qualche anno fa: entrambe sono affascinanti e personali singer/songwriter che attualizzano la lezione di Joni Mitchell e Laura Nyro in percorsi eclettici, assegnando al jazz un ruolo significativo. Qualcosa che ...

Storia della Fusion Vincenzo Martorella 281 Pagine Arcana La nuova edizione del saggio sulla fusion di Vincenzo Martorella, pubblicato originariamente da Castelvecchi nel 1998, è molto di più di una semplice ristampa (che già sarebbe stato motivo sufficiente a consigliarne l'acquisto).

Randy Brecker: RandyPOP!
by Dan Bilawsky
This album gives new meaning to the idea of rewriting history.

Halie Loren: Butterfly Soaring
by R.J. DeLuke
Its hard to categorize Halie Loren--for those who feel the need to do so--a singer/songwriter who started performing at age 10 in her native state of Alaska and now, from her home in Oregon, tours jazz clubs and jazz events on a regular basis in different parts of the world and regales audiences with her light, ...
Fred Hersch: Solo
by Dan Bilawsky
When it comes to the art of solo piano in jazz, there are currently two classes of performers: Fred Hersch and everybody else. A statement such as that might spur the jazz cognoscenti to ready the pitchforks and torches, but that threat doesn't make that claim any less true. Keith Jarrett may surpass ...
Manu Katche: Touchstone for Manu
by John Kelman
With only four records released as a leader on ECM, it may seem a little early to release a “best of" disc for drummer Manu Katché. But having since moved on to fellow German label ACT for Live in Concert, while Touchstone for Manu is only being released in North America in the summer of 2015, ...
