Carleen Anderson: At Home in London
by John Wesley Reed Jr.
One of the most powerful vocalists today is Carleen Anderson, the “2013 Jazz FM UK Vocalist of the Year." Amy Winehouse once said, “For live performances, you absolutely have to see Carleen Anderson at least three times in your life!" Amy confessed while sitting in on one of Ms. Anderson's soundchecks; Carleen sang “Don't Look Back ...
Emilia Mårtensson: Ana
by Mark Corroto
Jazz does indeed reside in one large house these days. Thanks to the world travels of Don Cherry and Randy Weston in the 1960s, the European free movement, The Latin voice, and the indelible mark of ECM Records, jazz has transmuted into folk music. It had to happen, what once was the province of the New ...
Gary Windo: Deep Water
by Glenn Astarita
Celebrated British saxophonist Gary Windo had an imposing musical presence as his untimely passing in 1992 left a huge void on the international jazz and rock scenes. He could seemingly gash titanium into shards via his colossal sound, linked with shimmering vibrato phrasings and serrated lines. During the 70s he was very much in- demand and ...
ACV: Busk
by Claudio Bonomi
I britannici ACV, qui alla loro seconda prova dopo l'ottimo esordio di Fall in Wood del 2010, fanno il botto e danno alle stampe una felice collezione di otto brani che faranno felici gli appassionati di un certo jazz d'oltremanica che rifulge di nobili ascendenze canterburiane. Il quintetto, guidato dal contrabbassista-compositore Andy Champion, ...
GoGo Penguin: v2.0
by Bruce Lindsay
So what do we have here? An album by Manchester trio GoGo Penguin. The minimalist front cover gives nothing away, no band name, no album title. The somewhat prosaic title, v2.0 is actually rather more informative--for this is the band's second album, performed by its second lineup. Pianist Chris Illingworth and drummer Rob Turner both appeared ...
Polar Bear: In Each And Every One
by Bruce Lindsay
Polar Bear is back. Not just with a bang, but with a whole array of other sounds, including the occasional whimper. In Each And Every One brings together 11 tunes from the pen of drummer Sebastian Rochford--from the gently bucolic to the downright macabre. There's also an early front runner for the Best Song Title Of ...
Barb Jungr: Hard Rain (The Songs of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen)
by John Eyles
Ever since Barb Jungr released her first album of Bob Dylan songs, Every Grain of Sand (Linn, 2002), she has been consistently praised as a Dylan interpreter par excellence. Each of her subsequent albums has included at least one Dylan song--she even included a couple each on her tribute albums to Elvis Presley and Nina Simone. ...
Colin Edwin - Lorenzo Feliciati: Twinscapes
by Glenn Astarita
Bassists Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) and Lorenzo Feliciati (Naked Truth, Beserk!) and several prominent guest artists venture towards the constellations via these bass-driven jaunts, shaded with streaming electronics, firm backbeats, and wraithlike soundscapes. Shortly after the first listen, I detected a kinship to bassist/producer Bill Laswell's early, bass- heavy ambient electronica outings and soon noticed that ...
N.E.W.: Motion
by John Eyles
Together for over a decade, and having released two previous albums on the Bo' Weavil label, N.E.W.--the trio of drummer Steve Noble, bassist John Edwards and Alex Ward on electric guitar--need no introduction. They have nothing left to prove. Live and on disc they have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with--tight, energetic ...
