Agusti Fernandez / Barry Guy: Some Other Place

Read "Some Other Place" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Pianist Agusti Fernandez and bassist Barry Guy are two great solo improvising musicians that have a rare talent to cooperate in music making, combining their talents for an ever greater sound. So the question is, why haven't they recorded a duet until now? Spaniard Fernandez is an original voice, perhaps best described as the love child ...

Keith Jarrett at Disney Hall Review

Keith Jarrett at Disney Hall Review

Always a keen observer of audience habits, to put it mildly, a chatty Keith Jarrett couldn't resist telling a packed Disney Hall that he'd noticed a pattern among jazz crowds lately. I remember lines of people waiting to see the new thing, he said playfully from a lone spotlighted microphone stand opposite his piano. Now, there ...

Monkadelphia: All Monk, All the Time

Read "Monkadelphia: All Monk, All the Time" reviewed by Victor L. Schermer

by Victor L. Schermer

Over the past several years, there has been a revival and reconsideration of the music of Thelonious Monk. No one embodies this trend better than Monkadelphia, a group of Philadelphia-based jazz musicians who play his music exclusively--a difficult challenge which they embrace with vitality, panache, and sophistication. With Chris Farr on saxophone, Tony Miceli on vibes, ...

Keith Jarrett: Testament - Paris/London

Read "Testament - Paris/London" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Parlare di un nuovo disco di piano solo in concerto di Keith Jarrett comporta il rischio di ripetersi molto maggiore di quello che corre il pianista nel riproporre le sue improvvisazioni concertistiche. Infatti, anche se lo schema seguito nei due concerti di Parigi e Londra di fine 2008, proposti ora dalla ECM in questo cofanetto di ...

My Best Jazz Experiences Through the Decades

Read "My Best Jazz Experiences Through the Decades" reviewed by Larry Taylor

by Larry Taylor

I've been a jazz fan since I was a teenager in the late forties, growing up in Southern California. From grammar school on, I listened to pop tunes of the day--the hit parade songs and big band music that were in the air on the radio. As I entered junior high, I became ...

Chris Jentsch: Cycles and Reflecting on the Journey

Read "Chris Jentsch: Cycles and Reflecting on the Journey" reviewed by Ludwig vanTrikt

by Ludwig vanTrikt

John Coltrane once said, “Let the music speak for itself." The guitarist/composer and band leader Christopher Jentsch adds an interesting twist on that subject by opting to describe himself when asked about the broader subject of how to capture his music in his own words. “I think of myself as a composer/guitarist working with contemporary improvisational ...

Manami Morita: Colors

Read "Colors" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

The cover of Color, pianist Manami Morita's debut recording as leader, is a mosaic of child-like drawings, all round shapes and primary colors. It's somehow a reflection of her music which is unselfconsciously joyous and optimistic. There are few shades and little introspection in her playing, only boldness and, like the colors of nature, harmony. The ...

Soren Bebe Trio: From Out Here

Read "From Out Here" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard

by Jakob Baekgaard

Like the derelict buildings that are placed in the background on the cover of From Out Here, Danish pianist Søren Bebe's music carries the timely imprint of a melancholy longing that arises from neglect and the sense of a void that can't be filled. But it is also imbued with sweetness and nostalgia, another aspect of ...
