Emilio Solla Tango Jazz Orchestra: Puertos: Music From International Waters
by Dan McClenaghan
Tango music was born in the late nineteenth century in the ports along the shore of the Rio de la Plata which flows to the ocean along the border between Argentina and Uruguay. A sound of the poorer locales, it was a melting-pot music, drawing from European, Native American, Spanish-Cuban, African and Argentinian folk music influences. ...
Made To Break: F4 Fake
by Mark Corroto
If you count their three download-only releases from 2016, F4 Fake by Ken Vandermark's Made To Break is the band's ninth release since forming in 2011. This is significant because like his quintet Vandermark 5, which existed from 1996 until 2010, this quartet and his ensemble Marker are the main drivers for the trailblazing composer. Not ...

Bob Sheppard: The Clark Kent of Jazz
by Jim Worsley
An unassuming bespectacled man in his mid-sixties walks on to the stage. In a band with stellar, famous, and maybe flashier musicians, one could be forgiven if they didn't even notice him right away. But as soon as Bob Sheppard presses a saxophone, clarinet, or flute onto his lips, he is super, man! An incredible musician ...
Giovanni Tommaso: sulle tracce di Miles Davis passando per Kind of Blue
by Paolo Marra
La musica è un modo per ritrovare le proprie origini, le radici perdute. Un giorno Miles Davis si ricorda di quegli “eccezionali gospel" che ascoltava in chiesa da piccolo in Arkansas. Per rivivere quelle sensazioni perdute butta giù un blues di cinque battute con un suono “molto scorrevole." Ma quando entra in studio il 2 marzo ...
Lookout Farm: At Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall: Hamburg 1975
by Chris May
Fasten your seat belt, please. Dave Liebman and Richie Beirach's club date with Lookout Farm barely lets up during an hour of ferocious jazz going on jazz-rock. It's in roughly the same bag as Miles Davis' post-Bitches Brew (CBS, 1970) electric albums, some of which had Liebman in the lineup. The tape lay in the vaults ...
