Julian Lage: Living Lage
by Dan Bilawsky
It's good to be Julian Lage. The former wunderkind is all grown up and living large, playing with some of the best musicians on the planet; that makes perfect sense, considering he's also one of them. The young guitarist has done his homework, paid his dues and earned his stripes, and now he's spreading his wings ...
The New Gary Burton Quartet: Guided Tour
by John Kelman
For some, retirement means winding down and enjoying what life has to offer, after a lifetime spent with the daily grind of making a living. With most musicians, however, while making a living has been a not insignificant challenge, making music can hardly be called a daily grind; it's work, to be sure, but it's also ...
Cecile McLorin Salvant: WomanChild
by Mark F. Turner
"You sound and act as if you've been here before," an elder might say to some precocious youngster who exhibited the traits of a much older person. That's a sentiment that could also be applied to the remarkable 24 year-old jazz singer Cecile McLorin Salvant, who sounds as if she was reincarnated from a different era. ...
Cecile McLorin Salvant: WomanChild
by AAJ Italy Staff
Dall'emergere di Cassandra Wilson sono passati quasi trent'anni ma nell'affollato palcoscenico delle giovani cantanti nessuna le ha insidiato lo scettro.

Christian McBride & Inside Straight: People Music
by J Hunter
Musicians create bands for many things: To gather like-minded artists together, or to achieve some grand artistic vision; Christian McBride created Inside Straight to get a gig. It seems Village Vanguard owner Lorraine Gordon loved McBride but wouldn't book him with his regular, fusion-heavy outfit--or, as Gordon put it, “that rock 'n' roll band." Necessity is ...

Kevin Eubanks: The Messenger
by AAJ Italy Staff
Lo Stream of consciousness è una tecnica letteraria utilizzata all'inizio del Novecento che consiste nel rappresentare la realtà e la mente seguendo un flusso interiore, nel quale immagini intime si sovrappongono e si fondono a modelli ideali. Come per tutte le forme d'arte, anche per la musica, spesso, si ricorre al flusso di coscienza: ci si ...

Aaron Diehl: The Bespoke Man's Narrative
by Mark F. Turner
The reference to some exquisitely dressed man in the title of this release also conveys the stylistic bent of pianist Aaron Diehl's noteworthy debut on Mack Avenue.
