Matt Renzi: The Cave
by Michael P. Gladstone
I've always approached a piano-less trio like this sax/bass/drums combo with at least some trepidation. In the world of free jazz, it is, more or less, a rather standard pairing of instruments that allows for greater freedom without the chorded support from piano (or guitar). Within mainstream jazz, the work of Sonny Rollins (notably during his ...

Matt Renzi: The Cave
by Jim Santella
Matt Renzi's warm tenor saxophone voice gives his newest album a smoky texture that allows one to settle back and dream of distant lands and faraway places. His inspiration came from living in Japan, Italy, India, and New York over a four-year span. They're visions that last a lifetime, and Renzi has figured out how to ...
Matt Renzi: The Cave
by John Kelman

Renzi/Weinstein/Kamaguchi: Dream Life
by Mark Corroto
There is something about the language spoken by the trio of Renzi, Weinstein, and Kamaguchi. It is jazz, yes. But the band speaks seemingly from both inside the tradition and also from an outsider’s perspective. And the trio hand-picks its subject matter with just such purpose in mind. On their first recording, the 1999 Lines And ...
Matt Renzi, Jimmy Weinstein & Masa Kamaguchi: Dream Life
by Jim Santella
Their latest collaboration came amid tours of Spain and Portugal. Traveling can do wonders for one’s creativity; however, this trio wasn’t in need of a boost. They’d already proven that through earlier recordings. Based in New York, Jimmy Weinstein, Masa Kamaguchi and Matt Renzi represent the growth pattern of modern mainstream jazz. They swing in a ...
