Louis Sclavis Quartet: Silk and Salt Melodies

Read "Silk and Salt Melodies" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

August 14, 2014

March 3, 2014

Segnatevi questo nome perché Amir ElSaffar è destinato a fare grandi cose. Sull'esempio di Charles Tolliver e Woody Shaw omaggiati nella postbopppistica “Athar Kurd," il trombettista statunitense di origini irachene vanta un timbro caldo ed avvolgente.

by Maurizio Zerbo
February 24, 2014

Ricercatore instancabile, Marty Ehrlich torna dopo 13 anni con un progetto per big band, firmando uno dei dischi più belli del 2013. Rara avis, il lavoro di arrangiamento si distingue per una idea di jazz magnificamente svincolato da regole e formulette. Prevale una pratica musicale estremamente volatile, che anche all'interno di un solo episodio cambia continuamente ...

Amy Cervini: Jazz Country

Read "Jazz Country" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky
January 28, 2014

This album title is something of a double entendre. It references the jazz community that surrounds the lady of the hour, but it's really about the nexus that exists between the two American-born forms of music that make up its name.

Marty Ehrlich: A Trumpet In The Morning

by Dan Bilawsky
December 18, 2013

The intrepid Ehrlich, who fell under the sway of St. Louis' Black Artists Group (BAG) in ...
