Fred Lonberg-Holm's Fast Citizens: Gather
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il cinquantenne violoncellista (ma nello specifico anche chitarrista e cornettista) chicagoano Fred Lonberg-Holm è qui alla testa di un sestetto pieno di sostanza, nel cui operato una palpabile spina dorsale compositiva non prevarica mai lo slancio del singolo. I percorsi sono in effetti piuttosto articolati, strutturalmente ricchi, cangianti, con una vivacità soprattutto timbrica che sgorga spontanea ...
Fred Lonberg-Holm's Fast Citizens: Gather
by Jerry D'Souza

Proprio da Chicago arriva la Gang di Josh Berman, cornettista, già membro della ...

by Mark Corroto
Alto saxophonist Aram Shelton cannot break his Chicago habit. We're not talking that monkey woman Joe Williams used to sing about, back in the day. Shelton, who left Chicago a few years back for the Bay area of California, returns to the windy city often, both physically and for its sound.His second quartet recording, ...
Josh Berman & His Gang: There Now
by Mark Corroto
Josh Berman is a gambler. There Now initially gives the impression that the cornetist's reversion to the music of Eddie Condon and Pee Wee Russell is only a bluff. His gang of young Chicago improvisers weaves in and out of the 1920s, inserting free jazz passages and improvised duos that could not be anticipated in the ...
Mike Reed's People, Places & Things: Clean on the Corner
by Troy Collins
Originally founded in 2008 to commemorate the lesser known “people, places & things" that have historically supported Chicago's progressive jazz scene, Mike Reed's ensemble of the same name continues to ply its bold interpretations of lesser known covers and swinging originals on Clean on the Corner, their fourth recording for 482 Music. Although this session breaks ...
