Erik Friedlander's Oscalypso al Carambolage di Bolzano

Read "Erik Friedlander's Oscalypso al Carambolage di Bolzano" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Erik Friedlander's Oscalypso Piccolo Teatro Carambolage Bolzano 06.02.2017 Eleganza, precisione, arrangiamenti che coniugano intricati contrappunti a trasparenti unisoni, attenzione ai contrasti dinamici e agli impasti timbrici. Senso dell'esplorazione e della sorpresa. Sembrerebbe la descrizione dell'approccio musicale cameristico tipico di quello che è stato collocato sotto la definizione di Cool Jazz. Quella ...

Michael Blake: Red Hook Soul

Read "Red Hook Soul" reviewed by Maurizio Comandini

That said, today there are arguably more cellists in jazz and contemporary improvised music--and some extraordinary ones at that--than ever before.

Il meglio del 2016 Secondo Paolo Peviani

Read "Il meglio del 2016 Secondo Paolo Peviani" reviewed by Paolo Peviani


Dal punto di vista discografico, quella del 2016 è stata un'annata molto ricca. Nessun picco straordinario ma tanti buoni, ottimi dischi, da ascoltare e riascoltare con attenzione. Dal mio piccolo e per forza di cose parziale osservatorio, ho avuto l'impressione che i grandi nomi del jazz -al netto di qualche eccezione -non abbiano prodotto grandi cose. ...

Read "Spin Cycle" reviewed by Mark Corroto


The new ensemble led by Scott Neumann and Tom Christensen is called Spin Cycle. It could, maybe should, have been dubbed The Chameleonic Quartet. Along with the virtuosic sidemen, guitarist Pete McCann and bassist Phil Palombi, the ten tracks spin-off varying styles and musical modes, from blues to ballads, punk to funk. Such catholic ...
