Read "Max Roach:  We Insist! Freedom Now Suite / Charles Mingus: Presents Charles Mingus / Thelonious Monk: The Classic Quartet" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Trentacinque sono gli album realizzati dalla etichetta indipendente Candid, nella sua brevissima ma feconda attività discografica. Lo attesta il suo glorioso catalogo, che spazia superbamente tra il blues (Otis Spann, Lightnin’ Hopkins) all’avanguardia di Cecil Taylor e non ultimo l’hardbop di altissima qualità. Dischi magnifici, da considerare come preziosi capitoli ad incastro di un'unica storia artistica, ...

Read "Orrin Keepnews' Riverside Joins The Remaster Party" reviewed by Chris May

by Chris May

Everyone's doing it--producing 24 bit remasters of landmark albums from the 1950s and 1960s and repackaging them with newly written background essays, archive photos and, where they exist, alternate takes--most notably Blue Note and Prestige, with remasters by the albums' original studio engineer Rudy Van Gelder. And now, not before time, the era's third great independent ...

Tra il buio e la luce

Read "Tra il buio e la luce" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Un recente viaggio a Salvador de Bahia è stato illuminante più di mille trattati di filosofia per comprendere come tutto succede fra il bianco e il nero. Fra il bianco del giorno e il nero della notte. Tra il buio della ragione e la luce della passione, o viceversa. E allora ascoltiamo queste musiche che lottano ...

Read "Play Tchaikoskhy / Play Bach / Christmas" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Gli elementi c'erano tutti: due icone del jazz moderno (il pianista Kenny Barron e il contrabbassista Ron Carter), affiancati da due giovani ma affermati protagonisti della scena contemporanea (il vibrafonista Stefon Harris e il batterista Lewis Nash); l'esempio autorevole di una storica, analoga formazione (il Modern Jazz Quartet); la musica straordinaria da cui prendere spunto (Tchaikoskhy ...

Some of the albums have been done to death already, while on rarer occasions we get something that has until now evaded rediscovery ...
