Musician

Kurt Rosenwinkel

Born:

American composer, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, and producer Kurt Rosenwinkel is one of the most celebrated musical voices in jazz and is widely renowned as one of the most distinctive and gifted guitarists to have ever played the instrument.
 
Rosenwinkel’s harmonically rich, rhythmically free, and incomparably fluid style has made him one of the most important jazz musicians to emerge in the last thirty years, and his groundbreaking sonic conception of the guitar has changed the way the instrument has been perceived and played ever since. His recordings as a bandleader in early aughts on Verve Records were strikingly original releases that reshaped contemporary jazz in the 21st century

Read "There is Always Hope" reviewed by Pierre Giroux

by Pierre Giroux

Joe Block's There Is Always Hope is an unusually personal debut, but what is most interesting is not the autobiographical material behind these 12 compositions. Rather, it is how Block has gradually learned to turn experience into musical structure. Written over many years, these pieces reveal a composer still testing the boundaries of his language, sometimes ...

Read "Scott Kinsey: Thought Distortions and the Art of the Left Turn" reviewed by Mike Jacobs

by Mike Jacobs

Keyboardist Scott Kinsey's multi-decade musical odyssey reads a bit like a novella in spots: The Berklee student who landed the keyboard chair in fusion stalwarts Tribal Tech before graduating, cementing the band's definitive lineup while exerting a major influence on its musical direction.

Mike DiRubbo: Way Out Northwest

Read "Way Out Northwest" reviewed by Pierre Giroux

by Pierre Giroux

Some recordings try to overwhelm the listener with grand statements. With Way Out Northwest, alto saxophonist Mike DiRubbo is not trying to reinvent modern jazz but to remind us how rewarding it can be when four musicians know one another, allowing the music to develop through relationships built over time. Pianist Tilden Webb, bassist Jodi Proznick ...

Mathias Ruppnig: FOAM (feat. Kurt Rosenwinkel)

Read "FOAM (feat. Kurt Rosenwinkel)" reviewed by Blue Summers

by Blue Summers

There is a long tradition of excellent European jazz composers, and a more recent addition to that list is Austrian drummer and composer Mathias Ruppnig.

Jamile and Vinicius Gomes: Acoustic Thrills With Brazilian Twist

Read "Jamile and Vinicius Gomes: Acoustic Thrills With Brazilian Twist" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke
