Rodrigo Faina and Change Ensemble: Different Roots
by Jerome Wilson
This is not the usual large ensemble jazz recording. Instead of having instrumental groups play against each other, this music moves largely as a massed force with only sparing solo statements. It carries the gravity and weight of classical music and mixes in the harmonies and colors of jazz composers like Gil Evans and Kenny Wheeler ...
Martin Wind, Philip Catherine, Ack Van Rooyen: White Noise
by Angelo Leonardi
«Il silenzio è diventato sempre più un lusso—dice Martin Wind—con White Noise ho voluto creare un polo acustico opposto. Una sorta di oasi sonora in cui il pubblico può rilassarsi e godere la musica fino alla sua massima espressione». Per ottenere questo il contrabbassista tedesco—a New York da 25 anni—ha voluto accanto a ...
Jordan VanHemert: I Am Not A Virus
by C. Andrew Hovan
It was bad enough that 2020 brought with it the scourge of a pandemic of proportions not seen in a hundred years. But add to that the ugliness of racial tensions and xenophobia and one would be hard pressed to grapple with the idea of much good coming from such adversity. Michigan educator and saxophonist Jordan ...
Russ Lossing: Metamorphism
by Neri Pollastri
Registrato nel luglio del 2017, questo lavoro a firma dell'allora cinquantasettenne Russ Lossing, pianista della scena newyorchese originario dell'Ohio, vede all'opera un quartetto classico nella formazione, ma in equilibrio tra mainstream e contemporaneità negli stilemi.

by Chris May

Emiliano Sampaio: Rising Transatlantic Star
by Kurt Ellenberger
In 2013, I was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to teach and to work on a research project at the Kunstuniversität Graz ("University of the Arts in Graz"). I taught a first-year course in jazz theory that was really a delight. These students were already extremely accomplished performers and composers. About half of the class was comprised ...

Paolo Paliaga e il Questionario di Proust
by Paolo Peviani
Il tratto principale della mia musica Più che “mia" direi nostra. La forza dell'Alboran Trio risiede nel fatto di essere frutto di un lavoro collettivo in cui collaboriamo anziché competere. Con Ferdinando Faraò il progetto è ripartito con grande entusiasmo proprio perché non abbiamo bisogno di parlare, spiegare e razionalizzare il lavoro. Io scrivo ...
Roxana Amed: More To Be Heard
by R.J. DeLuke
Relaxed and casual, speaking via Zoom from her mother's home in Buenos Aires, singer Roxana Amed--of the smoky, sultry voice and soulful delivery--reflected on where her musical path has taken her. A native of that city, she moved to Miami in 2013 when her spouse had been offered a good job. Acclimating to the ...
