One By One: The Musical Arithmetic Of Mort Weiss
by Samuel Chell
If it isn't a first, it's certainly not a common occurrence for a musician to take his axe out of storage after a forty-year lay-off without a missing a beat. And if Hammond B3 trios featuring tenor saxophonists with Selmer Mark 6s are a well-established instrumentation, the same can hardly be said about the combination of ...
Two Degrees of Separation: Mitchel Forman, Stu Goldberg and Gary Husband
by Walter Kolosky
There are three outstanding piano albums now in release that need your immediate attention. Each is the product of a fertile imagination, unique approach and virtuosic skill. Mitchel Forman, Stu Goldberg and Gary Husband are among the strongest voices on piano in the last 25 years. Each has taken a different and exciting journey to the ...
Chitarristi jazz in Italia: alcuni esempi
by AAJ Italy Staff
La chitarra è sicuramente uno degli strumenti più versatili che esistano, e sono pressoché infinite le possibilità espressive che offre ai musicisti che la sappiano utilizzare. Molti però non ne sfruttano le enormi potenzialità, preferendo limitarsi a precorrere strade già battute. Scelta di per sé non censurabile, purché sostenuta da reali esigenze espressive e da un ...
Novita' dal catalogo Caligola
by AAJ Italy Staff
Da oltre un decennio la veneziana Caligola è una delle etichette più attente valorizzare il jazz italiano, dedicandosi sia agli artisti emergenti che ai protagonisti.

Ristampe Telarc
by AAJ Italy Staff
Eccelso livello tecnico delle incisioni e nomi di gran richiamo. Sono queste le caratteristiche principali del catalogo Telarc (distribuito dalla IRD), volto alla riproposizione degli stili jazzistici più codificati. A questa estetica di fondo vanno ricondotti i sei CD presi qui in esame, che nell’insieme non brillano certo per originalità. Li pervade in compenso un entertainement ...

Jackie McLean: It's Time; Consequence
by Francis Lo Kee
Jackie McLean, one of jazz' most painful losses this past year, had an unmistakable sound: a slightly-sharp-of-center intonation, percussive phrasing and a boundless, thoughtful energy to lift you up out of any depressive state. These are two CDs of a period when he was at the height of his powers, previously issued on the Mosaic box ...
Paco Charlin: Bass Frequency
by Ken Kase
There was a time when the structure and economics of the record business enabled jazz musicians to record a lot more frequently than they do today, allowing listeners to chart their artistic development (or lack of it) over relatively short passages of time. By contrast, the globalised imperatives of today's music industry typically force musicians into ...
