Richard Sears: Altadena
by Mark F. Turner
It is inspiration which fuels Brooklyn-based pianist Richard Sears's Altadena, a five part suite commissioned in 2013 by the Los Angeles Jazz Society featuring the legendary drummer Albert “Tootie" Heath. The professional linking between Heath, who first recorded with John Coltrane in 1957 and Sears, a rising young talent, began after the two met and exchanged ...
Whit Dickey/Kirk Knuffke: Fierce Silence
by John Sharpe
Whether through economic necessity or artistic preference cornetist Kirk Knuffke's discography suggests a penchant for duets. Recent entries include Row For William O (Relative Pitch, 2016) with bassist Michael Bisio and Moon with pianist/vibraphonist Karl Berger (NoBusiness, 2015). Fierce Silence with David S. Ware and Matthew Shipp alumnus Whit Dickey isn't even his first hook up ...
Charlie Hunter: Everybody Has A Plan Until They Get Punched in the Mouth
by Vic Albani
Charlie Hunter chi? Ah quello che suona “strano"? Sì... proprio bravo. Può essere un buon incipit per far conoscere a chi non lo dovesse avere mai incontrato in concerto o su disco (almeno alle nostre latitudini e anche visto che i negozi di dischi sono ormai una rarità che si fa fatica a trovarne ...

Allison Miller & Honey Ear Trio: Lean; Swivel
by Doug Collette
Allison Miller may well be the renaissance woman of modern jazz. High-profile mainstream gigs like appearing with the band on Late Night with Seth Myers hardly hint at the diverse complexity of her collaborations and work under own name, most conspicuously including the band Boom Tic Boom. She parses out individual components of her artistry with ...
Honey Ear Trio: Swivel
by Mark Corroto
The opening track of Allison Miller's new Honey Ear Trio recording, “Arby," had me singing the lyrics to “Heavy Metal Drummer," the 2002 Wilco hit song ..."She fell in love with the drummer/Another and another/She fell in love/I miss the innocence I've known/Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned." That connection is made from the heavy, maybe ...
Uri Caine: gli ultimi progetti
by Angelo Leonardi
Gli ultimi due album di Uri Caine confermano la sua statura di musicista poliedrico e inclassificabile. Il pianista di Filadelfia spazia da sempre tra scuole e generi con disincanto e spirito critico ed è uno dei rari compositori e interpreti d'oggi che esprime costante originalità. In questi due dischi, autoprodotti, non abbiamo sorprese stilistiche, ...
Matt Wilson’s Big Happy Family: Beginning of a Memory
by Angelo Leonardi
Un anno dopo la morte della moglie per leucemia, il batterista Matt Wilson ha riunito i membri dei suoi tre gruppi, The Matt Wilson Quartet, Arts & Crafts e Christmas Tree-O, per una commemorazione che prende spunto dai funerali d'inizio secolo a New Orleans. Alcuni brani incisi con le sue formazioni vengono riproposti in un clima ...
Charlie Hunter: Everybody Has A Plan Until They Get Punched in the Mouth
by Doug Collette
Adorned with the kind of facetiously sardonic title he's applied to a few recent records, Charlie Hunter's latest album nevertheless documents further changes in his ever-restless musical persona. Not only is this, his seventeenth-plus album as a leader, on a new label, but he enlists a new accompanist and, perhaps most significant of all, returns to ...
