I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu

by Ludovico Granvassu
January 2, 2025

Spesso molti articoli sulle “migliori uscite dell'anno" iniziano con una premessa quasi apologetica ("questi non sono necessariamente 'i migliori album dell'anno,' ma 'i miei preferiti';" “è tutto soggettivo;" “domani avrei scelto titoli diversi;" “ho potuto selezionare solo dieci album," ecc.)? Queste dichiarazioni sembrano riflettere il disagio del redattore, costretto a riassumere un vasto ecosistema artistico selezionando ...

Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2024

by Ludovico Granvassu
December 31, 2024

Have you noticed how many “best of the year" listicles start with an apologetic preamble ("these are not necessarily 'the best albums of the year' but 'my favorites';" “it's all subjective;" “tomorrow I might have chosen different titles;" “I could only select ten albums" etc.)? Those disclaimers channel the writer's discomfort of having to summarize a ...

I dischi del 2024 secondo Libero Farnè

by Libero Farnè
December 26, 2024

La lista che ho stilato non segue alcun ordine di preferenza. I dischi sono quindi organizzati in ordine alfabetico, per artista. A mio parere ogni album in questa lista è di grande interesse. Ho deciso di selezionare alcuni album statunitensi, ma ne ho sacrificati molti altri molto meritevoli, e tre album italiani che ritengo meritevoli di ...

Marshall Allen, Leiba Trio & Gold Mother

by Maurice Hogue
December 23, 2024

Lights On A Satellite is a fitting title for an album celebrating the 100-year-old miracle, saxophonist Marshall Allen, the mainstay of Sun Ra's legacy. His continuing direction of the Sun Ra Arkestra puts him right up there beside Planet Ra. Other new releases sampled in this episode come from a very worthy Leiba Trio from Argentina ...

by Doug Collette

The role of pianist has been crucial to the evolution of jazz throughout its history. To that end, Art Tatum, McCoy Tyner and Bill Evans have achieved iconic status over the decades and, in more recent years, Brad Mehldau and Fred Hersch have laid the groundwork for their own ascents to similarly hallowed positions, Meanwhile Diana ...

Lawrence Peryer's Jazz & Beyond for 2024

by Lawrence Peryer
December 7, 2024

I very much enjoy the moment we are in for improvisatory and creative music. So many traditions are coming into contact and interacting with each other: jazz cats, indigenous practitioners, electronic music experimenters, modern composers and many others. The breakdown and blurring of genre divides and dogma is something I revel in. “Collision Music," to quote ...
