Another Timbre’s Berlin Series goes from strength to strength
by John Eyles
Another Timbre's Berlin Series began slowly and gathered momentum gradually. The first issue in the series appeared in spring 2013 and set a pattern for the series by being split between two of the city's fine duos--Michael Thieke/Olivier Toulemonde and Lucio Capece/Jamie Drouin. Despite that volume garnering considerable praise, the second one did not appear until ...
A Different Drummer: Two Sides of Janis Görlich
by Jakob Baekgaard
Things are happening in the jazz underground in Berlin. One of the labels to look out for is Shoebill Music. The label was founded in 2006 by Johannes Haage, Philipp Gropper, Christian Lillinger, Roland Schulz, and Sebastian Sternberg, but today it is run solely by Johannes Haage. In recent years, the label has taken a turn ...
Gilberto Gil: Gilbertos Samba / Sergio Mendes: Magic
by Maurizio Zerbo
Gilberto Gil Gilbertos Samba Valutazione: * * * * Sony Music (2014) Nell'incontro con partner sensibili di generazioni differenti, l'ex ministro brasiliano della cultura sfodera una classe cristallina non sempre valorizzata nelle incisioni discografiche. In primo piano, la rilettura con voce e chitarra di alcuni standard della bossa nova. Superbo ...
The Poetry of Places: Paula Shocron and Bjørn Solli
by Jakob Baekgaard
There is something about places. A particular place can create a special mood. When it comes to music, a place can create a unique frame that adds inspiration and ambience. Just think of the music recorded at the Village Vanguard. The name itself is enough to send shivers down the spine. However, unique ...
Dave's Picks Volume 11: 11/17/72 and Wake Up to Find Out: 3/29/90
by Doug Collette
The story of the Grateful Dead may be the most fascinating in the history of rock and roll, the chapter dealing with the archiving of their live recordings perhaps the most absorbing of all, if only because it continues to be written with the ongoing release of various projects from various stages of the iconic band's ...
David Bowie: Excerpts from 1.Outside and Earthling
by Nenad Georgievski
The '80s were very good to singer David Bowie, and maybe too good for his own good. After producing Let's Dance(EMI, 1983), his best selling one, which was followed by a very successful world tour, he went on to reproduce his successes in a very grand and hefty way, mostly by reproducing the same pop formula ...
Smoke Sessions
by Maurizio Zerbo
Questo gruppo di incisioni “live" è accomunato dall'adesione agli stilemi del modern mainstream. Emerge nei tre pianisti una sincera riflessione sul linguaggio moderno delle varie tradizioni jazzistiche, che vanno dall'eredità coltraniana al post-bop. Grazie anche alla calda atmosfera del jazz club Smoke, in cui sono stati registrati dal vivo, si impone una indiscutibile intensità emotiva che ...
Trombone x 4 (x 4)
by Alberto Bazzurro
Che ci sia un trombone a guidare la cosiddetta front line di un gruppo jazz, ammettiamolo, non è merce poi così usuale. Ci fa quindi piacere, amando particolarmente il suono rotondo, pieno, evocativo dello strumento, legare uno con l'altro quattro album che praticano tale formula, incisi e pubblicati nel giro di pochi mesi, tra la fine ...
Palmitessa o Pantagruel?
by Alberto Bazzurro
Alessandro Palmitessa è un gagliardo e vulcanico uomo-musica nato ad Atina nel '69 ma ormai trasferito in pianta stabile (dal 1997) in Germania, a Colonia. La sua voracità artistico-organizzativa emerge adeguatamente dai due lavori di cui riferiamo qui di seguito. Alessandro Palmitessa Im Schoß der Erde EGP Records (2013) Valutazione: ...

It wasn't until his US Army tour of duty in the late 1950s that he studied piano. He subsequently gave up the trombone due to an automobile accident while on tour with ...
