Big Ears Festival 2017
by Mark Sullivan
Big Ears Festival Knoxville, TN March 23-26, 2017 Knoxville's Big Ears Festival expanded to a full four days this year, giving it more time to go its expected merry, eclectic way. In a break with usual practice, there was no official Composer in Residence. That distinction could have gone to Gavin Bryars ...
Alex Cline's Flower Garland Orchestra: Oceans of Vows
by John Kelman
Despite being a key participant in the “Left Coast" scene of more avant-leaning music from the American west coast--in particular, part of the Cryptogramophone imprint that, while less active than in its “glory days" during the first years of the new millennium--Alex Cline releases so infrequently as a leader that any new music from the percussionist/composer ...

Billy Mintz: Ugly Beautiful
by Dan McClenaghan

by AAJ Staff
Se nel 2016 il Guardian si è chiesto se il jazz stava entrando in una nuova età aurea ci sarà una ragione. In una confluenza di artisti affermati e nuove promesse, la vitalità dimostrata dalla musica che amiamo è rassicurante, e il mercato discografico lo conferma.

Il Meglio del 2016 Secondo Ludovico Granvassu
by Ludovico Granvassu
Che anno! La musica di alta qualità continua ad arrivare inarrestabile. La preparazione di questa lista è stata quasi dolorosa per la scelta crudele di limitare il numero dei CD a 12 e quello dei concerti a 10. Ma tant'è.
