Bobo Stenson: Contra la indecision
by Mike Jurkovic
Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson could be considered an anomaly amongst the ECM roster of piano players. His work over the past decades has been more controlled and, not to be taken as an insult or affront to Stenson's earthy lyricism, less challenging than the works of past and current label-mates such as Paul Bley, Marilyn Crispell, ...
Satoko Fujii: Solo
by Mark Corroto
Solo piano performances generally fall into one of two categories--introverted or extraverted affairs. Obvious examples of extraverts are Fats Waller and Art Tatum, while inward-looking pianists are Brad Mehldau and Bill Evans. Extraverts play music pointed at the audience, while introverts internalize the experience. How then do we categorize the music of Satoko Fujii? ...
Bobo Stenson: Contra la indecision
by Karl Ackermann
With a few exceptions, Swedish pianist Bobo Stenson has spent his long recording career with the prestigious ECM label, dating back to his oddly named Underwear in 1971. That particular album turned out to be more a showcase for bassist Arild Andersen and drummer Jon Christensen than for Stenson, and the pianist did not lead again ...
Culture Clubs: A History of the U.S. Jazz Clubs, Part III: Kansas City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles & Beyond
by Karl Ackermann
Beyond the Hubs While New Orleans, Chicago, Kansas City and New York City were the incubators of modern jazz, they were by no means the only locations with an appetite for live music. Jazz artists whose point of origin could not sustain multiple venues ventured to locations near and far to practice their trade. ...
Fred Hersch: Life, Music, and the Creative Process
by Victor L. Schermer
Since his arrival on the jazz scene in the 1970s, pianist Fred Hersch has developed from a sought after sideman to a multi-Grammy nominated jazz icon, creative force, and significant composer of songs, jazz standards, and original complete works, the latter including Leaves of Grass (Palmetto, 2005), based upon the poetry of Walt Whitman. As one ...
Fred Delplancq: Horizons
by Mike Jurkovic
From the charging, serpentine opener “Strange Atmosphere" through old school seductions like the angular, dark harmonics of the Keith Jarrett Euro-quartet-ish “Filipus" and the very Coltrane/Rollins “Desolation," Horizons, Belgian saxophonist Fred Delplancq's latest, is a rich and resonant tribute to the classic quartet mode. With a decisively alpha-hard edge to his horn, Delplancq and ...
Gary Peacock Trio at the Regattabar Jazz Club
by Nat Seelen
Gary Peacock Trio Regattabar Jazz Club Cambridge, MA November 10, 2017 Veterans' Day was an appropriate date for this show, which was indeed a concert of veterans. Gary Peacock served in the army in the 1950s, and the three musicians on stage that evening could count over 150 years combined on the bandstand, side ...
Alf Häggkvist: Blue Serge
by Neri Pollastri
Originario del nord della Svezia, Alf Häggkvist vive da venticinque anni a Stoccolma ove ha avuto l'opportunità di collaborare con molti musicisti del suo paese e non solo. Apprezzato compositore e autore di canzoni, è anche un ottimo pianista, sensibile, espressivo e dalle notevoli capacità improvvisative. In questo Blue Serge è impegnato in un pregevole piano ...
Tony Tixier: Life Of Sensitive Creatures
by Roger Farbey
Following two semi-pastoral Tony Tixier originals, “I Remember The Time Of Plenty" and “Denial Of Love," the listener is treated to a commendably loose interpretation of Louis Armstrong's timeless “Tight Like This," which apparently Tixier's grandmother enjoyed singing. Whilst it retains some of the hooks of the 1920's tune, it is transformed into something completely different. ...
