John Escreet: Seismic Shift
by Mark Corroto
John Escreet's recording Seismic Shift, the pianist's first trio recording, might be the case for the return of warning labels on packaging. Not that there are explicit lyrics or violent images, it is just that the 52 minutes of music contained here are quite tempestuous and unrelenting. By design. Escreet is known for his ...
Jazzfestival Saalfelden 2022
by Stefano Merighi
Jazzfestival Saalfelden 2022 Saalfelden, Austria 18-21.8.2022 Spesso i lettori si abituano a leggere in diversi report sulla scena jazzistica accenni alla “scena scandinava," come se questa fosse un monolite che si aggira nel più ampio panorama afro-euro-americano.

by Geno Thackara
Florian Hoefner Trio Desert Bloom Alma Records 2022 If the title of First Spring appropriately represented the Florian Hoefner Trio's first emergence, Desert Bloom is the picture of a colorful summer to follow--warmer, more vibrant, and at the same time more settled.

Tyshawn Sorey Trio: Mesmerism
by Mark Corroto
To say that Mesmerism by the Tyshawn Sorey Trio is a departure from the drummer's regular programming is an understatement. Rather than perform his own compositions, he has assembled this trio to perform some jazz classics and standards. Sorey only held a brief rehearsal before recording this studio session. Typically, he prefers intricate arrangements and repeated ...
Jason Palmer's Hat-Trick At Giant Step Arts
by Pat Youngspiel
Were this a different century, trumpet virtuoso Jason Palmer might have a bigger name--maybe even grace magazine covers beyond the few jazz-focused publications of our times. The North Carolina-born post-bop marvel dresses smart, not in the Superdry-sweater, beanie hat, recyclable coffee mug New York-style one might encounter in the next neighborhood café, but in the last ...
Tigran Hamasyan: Stand Art

He has been recording original works and traditional Armenian songs since 2005. Now, on his eleventh album, he finally gets around to playing American standards. Hamasyan ...

by C. Michael Bailey
Kristina Koller Get Out Of Town Self Produced 2022 Youthful, vibrant, and musically precocious, vocalist / composer Kristina Koller answers her two previous recordings: the gracefully insurgent Perception (Self Produced, 2018) and frankly anarchic Stronger (Self Produced, 2019) with the intensely focused Get Out Of Town, devoted to a dramatic ...
