The Inventions Trio (Marvin Stamm, Bill Mays, Alisa Horn): Life's a Movie
by Maurizio Zerbo
In un avvincente incontro tra jazz e mondo classico si sviluppa questo splendido progetto in cui riluce il palpitante violoncello di Alisa Horn. Gli equilibri interni sono dettati da Bill Mays, ma è il camerismo della Horn a brillare in un percorso di grande nitore formale. Il suo toccante eloquio nella rilettura dell'evansiano “Turn Out the ...

Bill Mays Inventions Trio: Life's a Movie
by Jack Bowers
For pianist Bill Mays' Inventions Trio, the third time is indeed a charm, as it would be difficult to find music more charming than that performed by Mays, trumpeter Marvin Stamm and cellist Alisa Horn on Life's a Movie, the trio's third album together (and first for Chiaroscuro Records). This is “chamber jazz" of the highest ...
The Weave: The Weave
by Bruce Lindsay
From the perspective of an east of England jazz writer, it can seem like Manchester has the north east's jazz scene to itself, with Liverpool, its near neighbour, putting up little in the way of competition. It's not that Liverpool is un-musical--it is after all the home city of Gerry And The Pacemakers--but its impact on ...
Bill Mays: Inventions, Conventions and Dimensions
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
This title is more than a rhyme: it's an attempt to capture some of the legendary versatility of pianist Bill Mays. “Inventions" refers to his unprecedented, working jazz trio of piano, trumpet, and cello. “Conventions" is a nod to his invaluable contribution to the annual meeting of the International Society of Bassists (in 2013, he played ...
Pointing Fingers... And Naming Names

These are, mind you, personal choices, and ...
In Tune or Not in Tune... That Is the Question
by Jack Bowers
Suppose a month goes by, you have a column to publish, but nothing has happened that's worth writing about. What do you do then? Read on, as the question is about to be answered. A while back there was a discussion at a Stan Kenton web site (Kentonia) about musicians or groups of ...
Stars on the Horizon
by Jack Bowers
Even before Groovin' Hard, the Los Angeles Jazz Institute's latest foray into the world of contemporary jazz, kicked off its four-day run (October 11-14) at the Marriott LAX Hotel, a letter arrived from LAJI director Ken Poston announcing details of next May's extravaganza, also at the Marriott. The theme is Big Band Spectacular, and the bands ...
New York Youth Symphony Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Concert Series
For its 50th anniversary, The New York Youth Symphony — actually, widely admired orchestra, jazz, chamber, conducting and composing programs — will celebrate with a series of concerts featuring acclaimed alumni and friends including trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, trumpeter Brian Lynch and saxophonist Phil Woods sitting in with the NYYS jazz ensemble at Dizzy’s Club and The ...
Marvin Stamm on Uncle Albert
Jazz fans are quicker than most to slap around other forms of music. Some fans are convinced that rock destroyed jazz (not so) while others insist that jazz sold out for commercial reasons (not so, either). New music comes with each generation, and that's how it played out in the mid-1950s and into the '60s. [Photo ...
