Kurt Rosenwinkel
by Bill Milkowski
It's a pleasant Saturday afternoon at Brooklyn Recording in the charming, gentrified neighborhood of Carroll Gardens, the third day of sessions with guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Eric Harland. They've been at it all day, flowing from take to take with wide-open abandon. It's a green light session--there are no mistakes, they just ...
John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble: Eternal Interlude
by Mark F. Turner
Like fragments of crystal, John Hollenbeck's large ensemble casts angular lines, unusual shapes and refracts music (rather than light) differently than typical jazz big bands. The prolific drummer/composer's progressive slant has been at the core of The Claudia Quintet's For (Cuneiform, 2007) and Semi-Formal (Cuneiform, 2006); music marked by enigmatic ideas of swing, modern chamber music ...
Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2009
by Jakob Baekgaard
Copenhagen Jazz Festival Various Venues Copenhagen, Denmark July 3-12, 2009 In a survey conducted recently by the renowned Monocle Magazine (volume 03, issue 25), Copenhagen was selected as the second best city in the world due to its safety, atmosphere, welfare, infrastructure and--one could be tempted to add--its ...
Mikkel Ploug Group: Harmoniehof
by Mark F. Turner
Danish guitarist Mikkel Ploug, a rising player in the vein of such contemporaries as Kurt Rosenwinkel and Torben Waldorff, articulates his own vocabulary--one that contains folk, rock, and modern jazz sensibilities. Harmoniehof, the follow-up to Ploug's eponymous 2006 debut on Fresh Sound New Talent featuring saxophonist Mark Turner, further illuminates his tightly knit band.
Nicolas Thys: Virgo
by Woodrow Wilkins
Layers, blends and individuality can make for a diverse music set. Bassist Nicolas Thys brings that with all-original songs on Virgo. Thys is a native of Brussels, Belgium. His first instruments were piano and flute, but at the age of 13, he switched to electric bass. Over the years, he's earned several European ...
Baptiste Trotignon: Share
by Raul d'Gama Rose
At first blush, one thought and just one thought rattles around in the mind: “Can Bill Evans never rest in peace?" But then the music of “Samsara," the second track on the lovely Share wafts into the inner ear. With flugelhornist Tom Harrell and Mark Turner wailing on tenor saxophone, Share's main protagonist, Baptiste ...
Fly: Sky & Country
by AAJ Italy Staff
Già nell'album d'esordio (Fly - Savoy Jazz) uno dei tratti peculiari di questa sorta di supertrio era la cura meticolosa, l'attenzione quasi maniacale rivolta al suono. In questo Sky & Country, la produzione di Manfred Eicher ha spostato ancor di più le coordinate in quella direzione. Da una parte ciò ha permesso di esaltare ulteriormente lo ...
Samo Salamon & Aljosa Jeric Quartet: Mamasaal feat. Mark Turner
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
That bandleaders Samo Salamon and Aljosa Jeric are Slovenian doesn't appear to be of much musical relevance; jazz settings of East European folk songs are not the order of the day here. But it might have some metaphorical relevance; just as their tiny homeland has shot to the top of all social, economic and political rankings ...
Fly: Sky & Country
by Jerry D'Souza
Mark Turner, Jeff Ballard and Larry Grenadier first played together in 2000 as the Jeff Ballard Trio. Since then they have performed in different groups. The long association has helped establish immediacy between them, a reading of the minds that translates into absorbing music. All three have contributed compositions to Sky & Country, the ...
Fly: Sky & Country
by Jeff Stockton
15 years ago Mark Turner was among a trio of young tenors who were poised to have a lasting impact on jazz. However, having not had Joshua Redman's pedigree or James Carter's flair for self-promotion, Turner's major-label output came and went without generating the attention a musician of his caliber deserved. Today he is a member ...
