4 Wheel Drive at Hong Kong Arts Centre
by Rob Garratt
4 Wheel Drive Quartet Hong Kong Arts Centre Jazz World Live Series Hong Kong September 3, 2019 When exactly did jazz artists covering pop music shift from being a cheap and/or twee—but near-universally frowned-upon—novelty, to an almost obligatory rite of passage? Some will point to the pioneering piano ...
Abdullah Ibrahim: Dream Time
by Chris May
Stream-of-consciousness solo-piano recitals come in as many shades as jazz itself. At one extreme are Keith Jarrett's messianic epics. At another are Abdullah Ibrahim's less flashy but deeper outings. Ibrahim's style is about substance, space and subtlety. He says more by doing less. Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, after all, were his formative influences.
Steve Khan: Patchwork
by John Kelman
Amongst the many myths out there about music-making—especially in jazz, where the improvisation quotient is often so high—is that composing may, indeed, be work, but doesn't require the kind of relentless attention to detail that far more truthfully defines how many artists write and arrange their music. These days, one need only look to music by ...
Petter Bergander Trio: Kierkegaard's Waltz
by Chris Mosey
The honouring in popular song of Sören Kierkegaard, author of “The Sickness Unto Death" and other light works has been a long time coming. To be exact, we've waited since his death in 1855 for this moment. “Heidegger's Boogie" and “The Schopenhauer Rag" must surely follow. The curious thing is that Kierkegaard's Waltz is an album ...
Russ Lossing: Motian Music
by Alberto Bazzurro
Nato a Columbus, Ohio, nel 1960, Russ Lossing è un pianista che, anche proprio per anzianità di servizio, meriterebbe certo maggior fama di quella di cui gode. Influenzato dal lessico jazzistico come dai vari Bartok, Schönberg e John Cage (col quale ha anche intrattenuto un sia pur fugace rapporto personale), Lossing ha suonato con gente importante, ...

Alessandro Balossino: Keith Jarrett - Improvvisazioni dall'anima
by Mario Calvitti
Keith Jarrett—Improvvisazioni dall'anima Alessandro Balossino 160 pagine ISBN: 978-88-99759-57-5 Chinaski 2019 Nonostante sia universalmente riconosciuto come uno dei musicisti più importanti e significativi degli ultimi 50 anni, la letteratura ufficiale su Keith Jarrett è ancora decisamente troppo scarna. Escludendo i lavori di stampo accademico, limitati sia nella diffusione che ...
Richie Beirach: Indelible Memories and Thought-Provoking Reflections on a Life in Jazz, Part 2
by Victor L. Schermer
Part 1 | Part 2 Richie Beirach hovers somewhat mysteriously in the pantheon of the great modern jazz pianists. Some of the others in that category from his generation (coming up in the 1960s/'70s), like Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, and Kenny Barron have greater celebrity, but Beirach easily qualifies alongside them as ...
Woodstock—Back to the Garden: 50th Anniversary Experience
by John Kelman
First things first. For all but the most committed of fans, knowledge of what transpired, how it transpired and when it transpired at the now-legendary 1969 Woodstock Music & Arts Fair has, despite a variety of initial, 25th and 40th Anniversary audio and video releases, been severely limited. As engaging, entertaining and well-constructed as these various ...
