The Jeff Hamilton Trio: Symbiosis
by Jerry D'Souza
Jeff Hamilton's presence as a drummer is pervasive both with his trio and as part of the Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra which he co-leads with bassist John Clayton. Hamilton's reach as a drummer goes well beyond these two outfits, his history as a musician complementing Oscar Peterson, Warren Vache, and Phil Upchurch among others. Style and approach ...
Manuel Mengis Gruppe 6: Dulcet Crush
by Mark Corroto
Experiencing the music of trumpeter Manuel Mengis, a standard list of musicians and musical styles heard in his music comes to mind. This is a disservice, because his methodology is quite original. Still the temptation to explain his third disc for hatOLOGY following The Pond (2008) and Into the Barn (2005) in terms of others sounds, ...
Jacam Manricks: Labyrinth
by Eyal Hareuveni
It is quite rare to find an up-and-coming composer/musician such as Australian-born, New York-based reedman Jacam Manricks. A PhD-level composer at the Manhattan School of Music, who has already developed strong personal compositional skills on his sophomore release as a leader, his unique and elaborate compositions reveal a deep knowledge of the jazz bop legacy and ...

Miles Davis: The Complete Columbia Album Collection (Box con 70 CD e 1 DVD)

Quindi prima di tutto un ...
Wadada Leo Smith: Spiritual Dimensions
by Dan McClenaghan
Trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith blows in two different directions on this two-CD set, Spiritual Dimensions. The recording is comprised of two live sets, one by Wadada Leo Smith's ongoing Golden Quintet, the second by his new Wadada Leo Smith's Organic. The Golden Quartet, recently expanded to quintet, changes players with time. The line-up that ...
Dave Liebman / Michael Stephans: Nomads
by John Kelman
If ever there was a title to best fit Dave Liebman, it would be Nomads. Stylistically, the reedman's life has represented an endless traverse of infinite musical landscapes, ranging from freely improvised music with Australia-based pianist Mike Nock on Duologue (Birdland, 2007), and modern, open-ended mainstream with longtime musical partner, pianist Richie Beirach--heard most recently on ...
Celebrating Miles Davis in Sight and Sound
PARIS | Examining music in a museum space is no simple task; exhibitions about musicians tend to downplay the music itself. But “We Want Miles," an ambitious show about the life and music of the jazz great Miles Davis, at Cit de la Musique through Jan. 17, is a remarkable exception. In this exhibition, the music ...
100nka and Herb Robertson: Superdesert
by Jerry D'Souza
How much shit can one take? Well that depends. If it is being served by the quirky Polish trio 100nka--featuring guitarist Tomek Leś, bassist Adam Stodolski and percussionist Przemek Borowiecki--there may not be quite enough. Their music is rather undefinable, jumping and sneaking as it does into odd nooks and crannies. Much of it comes from ...

Vladislav Delay, Eyebrow and Food Union Chapel London, UK November 12, 2009 This triple bill was a very 21st century affair. It could have been subtitled “Humans and Machines," so prevalent was the use of electronics throughout the evening of improvised music. Vladislav Delay was at the center of ...
