Julia Hülsmann Quartet w/ Theo Bleckmann: A Clear Midnight - Weill and America

Read "Julia Hülsmann Quartet w/ Theo Bleckmann: A Clear Midnight - Weill and America" reviewed by John Kelman


Given enough time, things in life often come around full circle. Julia Hülsmann's three recordings for Munich's ACT label were all vocal affairs, where the German pianist's core trio--with bassist Marc Muellbauer and drummer Heinrich Köbberling--were joined by singers ranging from Norway's Rebekka Bakken to Germany's Roger Cicero. Since moving to another Munich label, the more ...

Avanti o indietro?

Read "Avanti o indietro?" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


La più o meno contigua uscita di reperti d'epoca di Jarrett, Osborne e Soft Machine ci induce a una disamina a largo raggio su cos'era e verso dove si muoveva il jazz, pur inteso in senso lato, nell'epoca in cui tanti ragazzi provenienti dal rock più o meno progressivo vi confluivano a frotte. Cercando anche di ...

Giovanni Guidi: This Is the Day

Read "This Is the Day" reviewed by Libero Farnè


Dopo City of Broken Dreams, edito sempre dalla ECM all'inizio del 2013, ecco il secondo disco del trio di Giovanni Guidi. All'ascolto di This Is the Day, registrato nell'aprile 2014 da Stefano Amerio, uno dei tecnici oggi prediletti da Manfred Eicher e non solo, si ha la precisa sensazione di trovarsi di fronte ad un'operazione tipicamente ...

Read "Secondo capitolo per il trio di Giovanni Guidi" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


A distanza di un anno da City of Broken Dreams, l'ECM pubblica in questi giorni il nuovo capitolo del trio di Giovanni Guidi con Thomas Morgan e João Lobo, This Is the Day. Un lavoro particolarmente raffinato e maturo, con nuove splendide composizioni e una ricca empatia. Il pianista umbro ce ne parla in quest'intervista.

Eberhard Weber: Encore

Read "Eberhard Weber: Encore" reviewed by John Kelman


In a time when too many things that seem unfair create victims rather than heroes, the world needs more people like Eberhard Weber. Struck down with a major stroke in 2007, the renowned German bassist found himself without the strength required in his left hand to be able to play the custom-built, electric five-string double bass ...

David Virelles: Mbókò

Read "Mbókò" reviewed by Luca Canini


Certo che ne ha di talento David Virelles. A quintali, a vagonate. Da affittare, vendere e persino subappaltare. Nell'ottobre del 2012, quando la Pi Recordings mise il timbro su Continuum, secondo disco del pianista di origini cubane, non furono in molti ad accorgersi che era nata una stella. Oggi, a due anni abbondanti ...

Vijay Iyer Trio: Break Stuff

Read "Vijay Iyer Trio: Break Stuff" reviewed by John Kelman


When it comes to jazz/improvised music, there are those who, like pianist Keith Jarrett, prefer to approach it with a blank slate, clearing their minds of everything in order to find a way to pull form from the ether. Then there are those who spend considerable time formulating their approach, and coming up with a philosophy, ...

With the passing of Kenneth Vincent John Wheeler--Kenny Wheeler to his legion of friends and fans--the world lost yet another significant figure in the history of jazz from the mid-'60s through to the second decade of the new millennium, the artist that Norma Winstone (more often than not his singer of choice) called “the Duke Ellington ...
