Daniel Fortin: Brinks
by Dave Wayne
Toronto-based bassist Daniel Fortin is best known for his work in MYRIAD3, a dynamic, forward-looking piano trio whose work superficially resembles that of The Bad Plus and the Esbjörn Svensson Trio in that they're young guys in a piano trio who don't play jazz the way most piano trios play jazz. Fortin's solo debut, Brinks is ...
Nate Wooley: Battle Pieces
by Mark Corroto
Someday trumpeter Nate Wooley is going to sell-out, abandon his principles, and make a smooth jazz record. He will give in to the pull of commercial success and create a disc of elevator music which can be played, but taken no heed of. I jest, because everything he creates necessitates the ear and mind's ...

by Giuseppe Segala
The Claudia Quintet Club Series Sudwerk Club Bolzano 18.03.2015 Il Sudwerk Club di Bolzano funziona come supporto alla programmazione dell'Alto Adige Jazz Festival, in una sorta di tessuto connettivo che distribuisce i concerti lungo tutto l'arco dell'anno (dall'autunno alla primavera), per arrivare senza una dolorosa pausa invernale al cartellone ...

Mattias Ståhl Trio: Jag Skulle Bara Gå Ut
by Mark Corroto
The rebirth of the vibraphone as a tool for creative music making has been a long time coming. Like the clarinet, it had to lose its nerdishness to gain acceptance. Artists like Jason Adasiewicz, Matt Moran and the Swedish-born Matthais Ståhl are making the vibes as relevant today as the mid-sixties and 1970s work of Khan ...

by Libero Farnè
Teatro Donizetti--Teatro Sociale--Auditorium--Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea Bergamo 16-23.03.2014 La trentaseiesima edizione di Bergamo Jazz, che ha coinciso con il piovoso irrompere della primavera, presentava un cartellone sulla carta molto interessante, uno dei più stimolanti degli ultimi decenni, congegnando il giusto mix fra nomi di grosso richiamo e nomi ...
John Hollenbeck: profilo di artista
by Angelo Leonardi
Lo scorso mese di agosto il 61° critics poll di Down Beat ha votato John Hollenbeck al primo posto tra gli arrangiatori emergenti, riproponendo valutazioni già espresse in passato (Rising Star Arranger nel 2012 e Rising Star Big Band nel 2011). È il doveroso riconoscimento a uno degli artisti più originali del jazz statunitense ma non ...
Nate Wooley: Seven Storey Mountain III And IV
by Mark Corroto
Parts III and IV of a seven part cycle, trumpeter Nate Wooley's long form electro-acoustic work Seven Storey Mountain gains additional players and momentum with these two live performances. The music was originally commissioned for the Festival of New Trumpet Music, which has seen a shuffle in its performers, but the concept of muscle rapture endures ...
The Claudia Quintet: September
by Glenn Astarita
September is a month that signals the return of football, the advent of fall, and when the youngsters say goodbye to summer and venture back to school. But for bandleader and drummer John Hollenbeck, it's when he seeks isolation and concentrates on artist residencies. September is The Claudia Quintet's seventh-release as the celebrated ensemble reaffirms its ...
John Hollenbeck's September Songs
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
John Hollenbeck's productivity would be astonishing in its own right, but the uniformly high quality of this high output places the drummer among the top tier of jazz (and not only jazz) musicians. Hollenbeck's recordings, compositions and performances defy certain expectations. He can be as seriously intellectual as a stereotypically stuffy classical musician, but his music ...
