Batik: Headland
by Ian Patterson
Batik may be a relatively new group but there's a natural chemistry in this debut recording that is the result of long years playing together in a variety of contexts. The genesis of the group dates back to Joost Lijbaart and Wolfert Brederode's duo collaborations, which began in 2005 and the pair are also part of ...
Ab Baars Trio: Slate Blue
by Mark Corroto
There used to be something about the Dutch jazz scene that made it stand out from American jazz, British jazz, and well, other European happenings. The “New Dutch Swing," to borrow the title from Kevin Whitehead's 1998 book, comprised an irreverent brand of music making, with little regard to tradition. Dutch players leaned heavily on Dada ...
Yuri Honing Acoustic Quartet: Desire
by Ian Patterson
It's been three years since the Yuri Honing Quartet's True (Challenge Records, 2012), a sumptuous all-acoustic affair that was in stark contrast to the powerful, duel electric guitar-driven Wired Paradise. That particular group hasn't recorded since White Tiger (Jazz in Motion Records, 2010), though the retrospective compilation North Sea Jazz Legendary Concerts (Bob City, 2013) captured ...
Ab Baars Trio: Slate Blue
by Neri Pollastri
Nelle sue recentissime risposte al “Questionario di Proust", Ab Baars affermava che il tratto per lui caratteristico della propria musica sia l'essere “allegramente ostinata." L'ascolto di questo Slate Blue, ultimo lavoro del suo trio con Wilbert De Joode e Martin Van Duynhoven dà una buona esemplificazione di tale definizione: nella sua ostinata complessità, infatti, la musica ...
Ab Baars Trio & NY Guests: Invisible Blow
by Vic Albani
Questa volta la mettiamo giù come un compitino e la scelta, in casi come questo, credetelo, è ovviamente ironica. Per celebrare i venti anni di attività dello splendido trio di Ab Baars, sassofonista olandese più volte passato anche da queste colonne, il leader decise di festeggiare con un sostanzioso tour di concerti che ...
Polder: Polder
by Bruce Lindsay
Polder is a Dutch quintet, led by bassist and composer Guus Bakker. Bakker has been a professional musician since the mid-90s, with an extensive resumé as a sideman, so it's perhaps surprising that Polder is his debut as a bandleader and writer. His unhurried pace is rewarded by a varied and engaging collection of tunes.

Adrienne West, Alessio Menconi: With Love to Ella and Joe
by Angelo Leonardi
Iniziata nel 1973 con la registrazione di Take Love Easy, la relazione musicale tra Ella Fitzgerald e Joe Pass incontrò un immediato successo e andò avanti fino al 1986, documentata complessivamente da quattro album. Questo disco della cantante statunitense Adrienne West con Alessio Menconi vuole essere un omaggio a quella storica collaborazione e ne ripropone i ...
John Engels: Looking Back, Moving Forward
by Joan Gannij
Drummer John Engels has the energy of two forty-year olds, which is pretty impressive, since he will soon be turning 80. He will celebrate this auspicious occasion with the Vogel Vrij (Free as a Bird) tour, a series of concerts at diverse venues throughout the Netherlands (with saxophonists Benny Golson and Benjamin Herman) which began in ...
