Mike Clark, Billy Harper, Donald Bailey: Blueprints of Jazz
by Woodrow Wilkins
Three discs, three creative artists, one concept--Blueprints of Jazz presents some of jazz music's eminently worthy but less widely known innovators. Tenor saxophonist Billy Harper and drummers Mike Clark and Donald Bailey have been fixtures on the jazz scene from 1950s through the 1970s, and they still produce fresh sounds. Mike Clark ...
Riscoprendo Sahib Shihab e altre gemme nelle ristampe Rearward
by AAJ Italy Staff
Quella di Sahib Shihab è certamente tra le figure più interessanti e sottovalutate della storia di jazz: nato a Savannah, Georgia nel 1925, Edmond Gregory [questo il nome del jazzman prima della conversione all'Islam] è stato musicista di grande versatilità, dapprima a fianco di Fletcher Henderson, poi, dopo la rivoluzione bop, collaborando con Thelonius Monk, Art ...
Van Morrison: Remasters Redux
by Doug Collette
Inasmuch as the six titles range from the sublime to the pedestrian, the latest batch of Van Morrison remasters constitutes a microcosm of The Belfast Cowboy's entire discography. Because Morrison is such an uncommonly gifted artist, it's possible to excuse the oversights in the overall archiving process, including lack of details in the remastering preparation and ...

by Eyal Hareuveni
These two releases by the exceptional Irish guitarist Mark O'Leary feature him at his best. On two undated sessions, O'Leary paired himself with singular yet highly collaborative musicians. The meetings which followed recalibrated O'Leary's playing away from its usual avant-fusion inclination and towards a new form of freer expressive articulation. Mark O'Leary/Dylan Van Der ...

Quincy Jones / Onzy Matthews / Woody Herman: Big Bands Done the Mosaic Way
by C. Andrew Hovan
Even though the winds of change headed by be-bop and hard bop had begun to change the musical landscape during the 1950s and 1960s, the big bands were still riding a good wave of popularity. For this survey of the genre, as seen through the eyes of three individualists, we discover a whole lot of music ...
London Improvisers Orchestra and Angeli / Parker / Rothenberg: Hard times, fine music
by John Eyles
Even before the crisis of capitalism, 2008 was not the most auspicious year for improvised music in London or in Britain generally. Early in the year, the closing of the Red Rose club in Seven Sisters Road robbed improv of one of its strongholds, a decent-sized venue that charged reasonable entrance fees. The fallout of the ...
Enrico Pieranunzi: As Never Before & Yellow and Blue Suites
by Stuart Broomer
Among pianists working in the harmonic tradition of the late Bill Evans, Enrico Pieranunzi has achieved a rare individuality, bringing unrivaled senses of line and sheer sonority to the style. Along with the advanced harmonic language, the Italian pianist belongs to a native bel canto tradition that extends to classical pianists as brilliant as Arturo Benedetti ...
