Mark Dresser: Modicana
by John Sharpe
As virtuoso bassist Mark Dresser has been performing and recording solo since 1983, you can guarantee that he knows what he's doing. And Modicana fully meets expectations, presenting an accomplished and engaging album which belies the potential austerity of the unaccompanied recital. The limited edition LP collects two pieces recorded live at the 2016 Umea Jazz ...
Mark Dresser: Modicana
by Alberto Bazzurro
Titoli decisamente singolari, stravaganti come a volte sa essere il personaggio, formato LP (primi tre brani sul lato A, restanti quattro sul retro), perfetto equilibrio fra archettato (in cui il Nostro è maestro) e pizzicato (non senza l'irrompere pur discreto di rumorismi più o meno episodici, che vanno comunque infittendosi verso la fine) e una qualità ...
Tiziano Tononi & Daniele Cavallanti Nexus: Experience Nexus!
by Giuseppe Segala
Nexus, la connessione musicale intrapresa da Tiziano Tononi e Daniele Cavallanti trentasette anni fa, prosegue con tenacia e si rinnova attraverso il reclutamento di nuove forze eccellenti.

The ten titles listed below represent a fertile cross-section of some of the most compelling modern jazz heard in 2017. William Parker Quartets
Vilnius Mama Jazz Festival 2017
by John Sharpe
Vilnius Mama Jazz Festival Vilnius, Lithuania November 15-19, 2017 Introduction Although a going concern since 2002, Vilnius Mama Jazz Festival doesn't possess the high profile internationally that its longevity might suggest. Set amid the baroque beauty of the Lithuanian capital, in an assortment of venues, the festival has brought together ...
Mark Dresser Seven: Sedimental You
by John Sharpe
So much has been written about Mark Dresser's brilliance as a bassist that his skill as a composer can be in danger of being forgotten.
