Kurt Rosenwinkel: Reflections
by Stuart Broomer
Kurt Rosenwinkel has a well-earned reputation for aggressive guitar playing that's both rhythmically astute and harmonically exploratory, a talent that he's applied with Mark Turner and Brad Mehldau as well as with hiphop producer Q-Tip. With Reflections, he has reined in his sometimes-divergent impulses for an unusual collection of standards and tunes by Thelonious Monk and ...

by Mark F. Turner
Thanks to an American Idol culture and any number of other circumstances, the jazz universe is filled with extremely bright, if lesser known stars, who are just as talented as their more noted constellations.

Jazz Man of the Year honors go without a doubt to Rafael Gilbert of Spain, who attended a performance by Larry Ochs of the ROVA Saxophone Quartet at the Sigüenza Jazz Festival in December, and called the police to report that, whatever it was that Ochs was playing, it wasn't jazz. Ochs was asked to play ...
Kurt Rosenwinkel Standards Trio: Reflections
by AAJ Italy Staff
Reflections mette in evidenza il lato più mansueto e devozionale di Kurt Rosenwinkel, che in meno di un'ora si misura con una manciata di standard e ripropone il suo “East Coast Love Affair," tratto dall'omonimo disco d'esordio del 1996. Il chitarrista americano è affiancato dai validissimi Eric Revis al contrabbasso e Eric Harland alla batteria, i ...
Kurt Rosenwinkel: riflessioni da Berlino

Linda Oh Trio: Entry
by Mark F. Turner
First appearances and sounds can be deceiving. Linda Oh's petite stature defies the muscularity that her instrument emanates--a knotty booming bass that's at once authoritative and free flowing, delivered with momentum and zest. And like the well-noted arcos of Charles Mingus, Dave Holland and Charlie Haden, Oh already has the traits to become a noteworthy player ...
