Chiara Izzi: Motifs

Read "Motifs" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

SPOKE: (r)anthems

Read "(r)anthems" reviewed by Ernest Barteldes

by Ernest Barteldes

On (r)anthems, the New York-based ensemble takes various pop classics and favorite World Music tunes and reinvents them into their own flavor, either going into a New Orleans-tinged feel or just improvising around the melody. An example is Stevie Wonder's “Tell Me Something Good," which is re-purposed here into a marching band-like vibe. The Beatles' “Blackbird" ...

Bologna Jazz Festival 2014

Read "Bologna Jazz Festival 2014" reviewed by Libero Farnè

by Libero Farnè

Bologna e Ferrara 28.10-22.11-2014. Il Bologna Jazz Festival non è certo un festival che perlustra il fermento dell'attualità, che espone le proposte più “forti" e innovative della ricerca americana ed europea, ma non si può nemmeno definire un appuntamento di mainstream nel senso stretto della parola. Salvo rare eccezioni, l'ottava edizione del ...

SPOKE: (r)anthems

Read "(r)anthems" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

According to the members of SPOKE, this album--the band's third to date--"is both musical rant and anthem." So what does that mean? Well, it means that there's an intentional balancing act between the raw and refined, the focused and the untamed, and the grand and rowdy. Nothing ever goes off the rails and nothing is ever ...

Read "Time's Tales" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Accanto all'esperienza con Brad Mehldau e Larry Grenadier e l'altra--meno appariscente e quasi cameristica--del Fly (che lo vede con quest'ultimo e Mark Turner) Jeff Ballard affianca dal 2006 un altro trio, di cui è leader, e che ora debutta su disco con questo variopinto ed estroverso Time's Tales. “Sono a metà della mia ...
