Laurie Antonioli: Songs Of Shadow, Songs Of Light: The Music Of Joni Mitchell
by Dan Bilawsky
The concept of a jazz-informed program of Joni Mitchell tunes isn't exactly novel anymore. Herbie Hancock's high profile River: The Joni Letters (Verve, 2007) took home two Grammy Awards; vocalist Tierney Sutton got some well-deserved attention when she put her own spin on Mitchell's work with After Blue (BFM, 2013); somewhat under-the-radar releases from artists like ...

Dalia Faitelson: As The World Sleeps
by Eyal Hareuveni
Danish, Israeli-born vocalist-songwriter and guitarist Dalia Faitelson calls her new collection of original songs--all born in the still, dark hours of night, the times that dreams are born--"a kinky jazz salute to Marlene Dietrich." In a way, Faitelson, like Dietrich, reinvents herself. Leaving aside her world music project Pilpel to acknowledge the formative influence of songwriters ...
Dewa Budjana (with Jimmy Johnson & Vinnie Colaiuta): Surya Namaskar

Guitarist Dewa Budjana's two releases on MoonJune Records in 2013, Dawai in Paradise and Joged Kahyangan introduced a talented musician whose Indonesian roots dovetailed with prog rock, jazz fusion and a melodic pop sensibility; Budjana showed tremendous chops but, as he demonstrates once again, he's perhaps primarily a tunesmith. Budjana draws from a similar well of ...

by Giuseppe Segala
Forse per una certa attitudine alla discrezione, Dave Douglas non ha mai reso esplicite nei titoli dei propri album le profonde attenzioni da lui tributate ai grandi della musica di cui si è occupato. Eppure nella sua discografia ci sono alcune tra le più pregnanti e intelligenti focalizzazioni sul mondo artistico di altri musicisti, con un ...
