Randy Kaye Quintet: Brooklyn 1967, May 24th
by Alberto Bazzurro
Ha abbastanza dell'incredibile il destino di queste matrici: registrate, verosimilmente per finire su un doppio LP, nella primavera 1967, in studio, con materiale di sicuro interesse e adeguata resa fonica, sono rimaste invece nel fatidico cassetto (o scaffale che dir si voglia) per quasi mezzo secolo, uscendo a otto anni (nessun anniversario particolare, quindi) dalla morte ...

Rick Hannah / Erwin Siffer: 2-Man Jazz Band
by Budd Kopman
Piano and guitar is a relatively rare combination for a number of reasons including overlapping ranges and having the similar timbre of percussive string. Yes, players of both instruments spend a lot of time perfecting a singing or legato sound, but in the end they are what they are. Instead of fighting it, with ...
Jazz Musician of the Day: Lee Konitz
All About Jazz is celebrating Lee Konitz's birthday today! Konitz is sometimes regarded as the preeminent cool jazz saxophonist, because he performed and recorded with Claude Thornhill, Lennie Tristano (both often cited as important cool jazz proponents of the mid 1940s), and with Miles Davis on his epochal Birth of the Cool, which gave the form ...
Meet Francesca "Cha Cha" Miano
by Tessa Souter and Andrea Wolper
A Newport Jazz Festival-New York concert at Carnegie Hall in the early 1970s got Queens native Francesca “Cha Cha" Miano hooked on hearing live jazz--even though, she says, some of the music she heard on the mixed bill that night was way ahead of her at the time. Little did she know that her magnificent obsession ...

Tito Mangialajo Rantzer e il Questionario di Proust
by AAJ Staff
All About Jazz Italia: Il tratto principale della mia musica. Tito Mangialajo Rantzer: Che sia sincera e con lo sguardo verso l'ignoto e il rischio. Ma anche che sia in qualche modo legata alla tradizione, al suono di quella musica che chiamiamo jazz, della quale sono terribilmente innamorato. AAJI: La qualità che ...
Igor Osypov Quartet: Dream Delivery
by Dave Wayne
Igor Osypov's debut album, I (Unit Records, 2015), was quite promising in many ways. Yet, it was a snapshot of an artist still in the formative stages of the craft. Thus, the content of the Berlin-based plectrist's Dream Delivery came as a pleasant shock. Seemingly, within the past year, Osypov has taken prodigious strides towards staking ...
Glauco Venier si racconta con Miniatures
by Giuseppe Segala
Miniatures è un piano solo. Ma è anche qualcosa di più, per il modo in cui sono state inserite nel tessuto narrativo le sculture sonore azionate dallo stesso Glauco Venier e per come sono saldate al pensiero che sorregge la musica. La musica respira anche attraverso il dialogo tra pianoforte e sculture sonore, che tracciano una ...
