Kris Davis: Duopoly
by Mark Corroto
Query: when does improvised music appear more arranged than written compositions? The question is not a zen koan, it is the notion put forth by the sixteen duets performed by pianist Kris Davis and her eight collaborating partners. Davis, who can no longer be labeled a “rising star" of jazz and improvised piano, is a fully ...

Andrew Cyrille Quartet: The Declaration of Musical Independence

Nels Cline: Lovers
by Mark Sullivan
No one can accuse guitarist Nels Cline of being predictable. He has recorded with his avant-garde trio the Nels Cline Singers most consistently (with bassist Devin Hoff and drummer Scott Amendola), but also led larger groups, such as the one on New Monastery (Cryptogramophone, 2006). More recently there was his duet with guitarist Julian Lage on ...

by Peter Jurew
The Cookers Birdland New York, NY September 15, 2016 The Cookers are an all-star septet that takes its name from the classic Freddie Hubbard album, The Night Of The Cookers, a 1965 live effort from the master trumpeter who passed in 2008. A somewhat fluid lineup earlier in ...
Jane Ira Bloom: Early Americans
by Ian Patterson
Three years on from the ballad standards of Sixteen Sunsets (Outline, 2013), Jane Ira Bloom--one of the few specialist soprano saxophonists--returns with a lustrous collection of originals. At one extreme, the trio of Bloom, Mark Helias and Bobby Previte fairly bristles with collective energy; at the other, it seduces with caressing, impressionistic lyricism. At whatever tempi, ...
Black Art Jazz Collective: Black Art Jazz Collective - Presented By The Side Door Jazz Club
by Maurizio Zerbo
Il nome del gruppo rispecchia paradigmaticamente gli intenti di questo CD. Tra omaggi a politici e jazzisti, le otto tracce proposte celebrano in chiave modern mainstream la composita cultura afroamericana del Novecento. Orientati sul versante postboppistico, gli assoli brillano per fluidità di fraseggio e tecnica sopraffina, riscattando ampiamente la rigidità del canone. Si impongono esposizioni avvincenti ...

Julian Shore: Which Way Now?
by Vincenzo Roggero
L'inizio è promettente. Archi che aprono gentilmente le danze, sinuosi e senza smancerie, accordi di pianoforte che introducono la melodia, il dialogo tra le parti intimista, ricco di suggestioni, evocativo, con piccole anomalie che esaltano l'armonioso incedere complessivo. Poi Wich Way Now si incanala verso un'esercizio di stile. Tutto perfettamente calibrato, la precisione ...
