A Selection of Jazz on Sonorama
by Jakob Baekgaard
A good record is not just an album, it is a story, and few people understand this better than Ekkehart Fleischhammer, who runs Sonorama. The label specializes in reissues and discoveries of lost jazz classics, library music, funk and soul. Every release is a labor of love and the albums in the following batch all include ...
Yacine Boularès: Coltrane by way of Descartes
by Ludovico Granvassu
Saxophonist Yacine Boularès took the road less travelled to discover and develop his passion for jazz. After graduating in philosophy from the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris, he felt the urge to put into practice the notions of aesthetics he had researched for his dissertation. Following his studies at Paris' Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique and ...
Culture Clubs: A History of the U.S. Jazz Clubs, Part III: Kansas City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles & Beyond
by Karl Ackermann
Beyond the Hubs While New Orleans, Chicago, Kansas City and New York City were the incubators of modern jazz, they were by no means the only locations with an appetite for live music. Jazz artists whose point of origin could not sustain multiple venues ventured to locations near and far to practice their trade. ...
Stefano Battaglia: Pelagos
by Alberto Bazzurro
Questo dovrebbe essere il settimo album di Stefano Battaglia su ECM, a partire da Raccolto, del 2005, nonché il primo inciso per l'etichetta tedesca (nel maggio 2016 alla Fazioli Concert Hall di Sacile) interamente in solitudine, formula peraltro largamente praticata dal pianista milanese su altre etichette (e ricordiamo almeno Baptism, o Il cerchio interno, o ancora ...
Idrees Sulieman Quartet feat. Oscar Dennard: The 4 American Jazz Men in Tangier
by Stefano Merighi
La pubblicazione in doppio album di queste sedute del 1959 del quartetto di Idrees Sulieman rivestono importanza in primo luogo per ascoltare il talento assoluto del pianista Oscar Dennard. Colpevolmente dimenticato, Dennard si rivela uno strumentista di primissimo piano, una voce fuori dal coro tra i pianisti attivi negli anni 50. Un po' strangolato nell'orchestra ...
Lena Bloch & Feathery: Heart Knows
by Dan McClenaghan
Lena Bloch mocks the “sophomore jinx" myth with her second CD release, Heart Knows. The tenor saxophonist's debut, Feathery, drew a good deal of well-deserved praise. With her saxophone intertwined with a responsive guitar/bass/drums rhythm section, Bloch paid tribute--in part--to pianist Lennie Tristano, via her relationship with alto saxophonist Lee Konitz. On Heart Knows, Bloch moves ...
Jason Stein Quartet: Lucille
by Mark Corroto
Jason Stein continues to curve a niche in the jazz world, but it's not what you might assume. Listeners straightaway assume that he is an idiosyncratic outlier because his sole instrument is the bass clarinet. We've grown accustomed to saxophonists like Eric Dolphy and David Murray doubling on the bass clarinet. Stein's constancy to this one ...
Fabio Giachino: North Clouds
by Luigi Sforza
Fabio Giachino è senza ombra di dubbio un pianista dotato di eccezionali qualità musicali. Provvisto di una notevole tecnica, il suo tocco è muscolare, il timbro è lucente; la scorrevolezza del fraseggio -brillante, ricco di idee, sempre dotato di coerenza e pungente incisività -si esprime con decisione e perfetta aderenza alla sintassi mainstream di stampo afroamericana ...
Art Pepper: Presents “West Coast Sessions” Volumes 3 & 4
by C. Michael Bailey
Today is the day that I finally come clean about Art Pepper and me. In 1984, I was taking a year off between having finished Pharmacy School and beginning a graduate program in Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design. During this time, I had my yearly eye appointment with my ophthalmologist, one Dr. A. Henry Thomas, with ...
