Day 2 Of 8th Annual Red Hook Jazz Festival Re-scheduled To September 20, 1-6pm
“The Red Hook Jazz Festival exists contentedly on the margins, like its namesake neighborhood and much of the music on its bill... The mood in the audience was neighborly, with a higher ratio of small children to youngish adults than I’ve seen at any musical event not expressly pitched as a kids’ show.” —Nate Chinen, New ...

That gives his stuff a cinematic feel—from ...
David Ake: Lake Effect
by Dan Bilawsky
Pianist David Ake strikes a pensive pose on the back cover of Lake Effect, foreshadowing a good amount of the music that follows. With his previous album, Ake reveled in the opportunity to keep listener's guessing from song to song and moment to moment. It was a musical gambit that paid off handsomely, making Bridges (Posi-Tone, ...
Matt Pavolka: The Horns Band
by Dave Wayne
I played Matt Pavolka's The Horns Band for a friend who immediately noticed that the very impressive list of acknowledgements contained more nods to literary and intellectual heavyweights such as Jose Saramago, Cormac McCarthy and Soren Kierkegaard than to musicians (the band members and Guillermo Klein). Perhaps Pavolka's intent was to show that he's interested in ...
John O'Gallagher: The Honeycomb
by Mark Corroto
What if jazz was rock-and-roll? Not the corporate-halftime show-American Idol rock, but the dangerous music your parents (maybe grandparents) were afraid of. Remember, there was a time when jazz was threatening. Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie startled listeners with their revolutionary 'bebop,' before Ornette Coleman and Albert Ayler caused fist fights and mini-riots. Jazz has since ...

Brian Charette: Good Tipper
by Dan Bilawsky
Nine of the eleven tracks on organist Brian Charette's Square One (Posi-Tone, 2014) were originals, but that doesn't mean he's uninterested in tackling the music of others. In fact, judging by this album, it would seem that he really digs digging into covers. Everybody from film score icon John Barry to tunesmith Jimmy Webb to saxophonist ...
Gianni Gagliardi: Nomadic Nature
by Luigi Sforza
Sin dalle prime note di contrabbasso, che mantiene un pedale e introducono “Paris," l'appassionato di Ornette Coleman esulta. Scorrono altre tracce -"L'ironie d'une Jolie Prisse De Téte," dove alberga una definizione sonora di tipo iberico, moderna e spavaldamente veloce, “Macanudo Man," una specie di funk sospeso tra la possibilità di farsi fusion e l'impossibilità di appiatirsi ...
Gianni Gagliardi: Nomadic Nature
by Dan Bilawsky
Barcelona-born, Brooklyn-based tenor saxophonist Gianni Gagliardi has long been a wanderer. He left his homeland in his teens, relocating to the Netherlands to further his jazz knowledge at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Later moves found him soaking up information at SUNY Purchase in New York, Le Conservatoire National Superior de Paris, Boston's Berklee School of Music, ...
Brian Charette: Square One
by Mark F. Turner
It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but that can be a double edged sword with respect to self-expression and individuality. Reverence to past influences such as the pioneering organists Larry Young and Jimmy Smith is commonly heard in many contemporary jazz organ players including New York based Brian Charette who breathes ...
