Three Views of Jaco: Weather Report: The Legendary Live Tapes 1978-1981 / JACO: The Film & Original Soundtrack
by John Kelman
It's hard to believe that, despite being gone for 28 years, bassist/composer Jaco Pastorius remains not just an important figure in the world of jazz, but beyond its broadest purview as well. His seemingly sudden appearance on a series of four albums in 1976 demonstrated that this was an artist with virtually no restrictions. In addition ...

Michael Gibbs & The NDR Big Band: Play a Bill Frisell Set List / In My View
by Ian Patterson

So, with ...

by Angelo Leonardi
Dopo aver debuttato nel 2010 nel ruolo della classica jazz singer (Coming in from the Dark, Cowbell Music), la danese Mette Juul ha iniziato a privilegiare le intime atmosfere della ballad d'autore, sul modello Joni Mitchell.

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 ...
