Leslie Pintchik: In the Nature of Things
by Maurizio Zerbo
Ancora una volta la pianista statunitense si impone con lucida ed inventiva cifra stilistica. Il suo sestetto non si adagia sulla lezione post-boppistica in stile Blue Note, con il consueto sound rovente ed incalzante. La Pintchik agisce sapientemente sulla tensione interna delle sue composizioni originali, imprimendo anche ai ritmi più sostenuti una raffinata sensibilità melodica. Quanto ...

Leslie Pintchik: In the Nature of Things
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
Leslie Pintchik begins her explorations on her fourth CD with a musical sunrise of soft, shimmering colors that grows into a bright and energetic day. From this appealing opener, “With You in Mind," she instantly distinguishes herself from the legions of jazz composers who confuse “personal expression" with self-indulgent noodling that shows little concern for story ...

Roseanna Vitro: Following Her Muse
by Dan Bilawsky
While the back panel of vocalist Roseanna Vitro's The Music Of Randy Newman (Motéma, 2011) says “File Under: Jazz/Pop/Vocals," those labels don't do her justice. Vitro's vocals are a conduit to the very core of American music--from blues and rock to soul and jazz--and her recorded output over the past three decades speaks to her talents ...
Leslie Pintchik: Two Different Kinds of Art
by Bruce Lindsay
The title of Leslie Pintchik's third album, We're Here To Listen (Pintch Hard Records, 2010), says much about the pianist and composer's musical philosophy. She recognizes the importance of technical skill, but she also values instinct, the open mind and the dismissal of boundaries between musical genres. It's an approach that Pintchik emphasizes throughout this interview, ...
Leslie Pintchik: We're Here To Listen
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Pianist Leslie Pintchik's Quartets (Ambient , 2007) featured two innovations on the piano trio format. On half the tracks, the basic trio of Pintchik, bassist Scott Hardy and drummer Mark Dodge, was joined by saxophonist Steve Wilson, and on the other half by percussionist Satoshi Takeishi. The saxophone being what it is, the Wilson tracks tended ...
Leslie Pintchik Quartet: Live in Concert [CD/DVD]

by AAJ Italy Staff
La dimensione live esalta la dimensione swingante e collettiva di questo quartetto, che ama frequentare i classici territori di un mainstream classico ma efficace. Sono sette i brani interpretati, riproposti intelligentemente sia in DVD che in CD audio per produrre un duplice piacere sinestetico che investe occhi ed orecchie. In primo piano le morbide linee melodiche ...
Leslie Pintchik: We're Here to Listen
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Leslie Pintchik inhabits an ocean of sound by herself and much more with her trio. The pianist creates her own ebb, and rip currents with the undulating swell of her playing. Her technique is flawless, and she has a natural tendency for irony, and even humor, as she simply spreads her hands on the keyboards and ...
