Ron Stabinsky: Free for One
by AAJ Staff
Nome decisamente poco familiare dalle nostre parti quello del pianista di Philadelphia Ron Stabinsky. Componente da un po' di tempo degli irriverenti Mostly Other People Do the Killing (con i quali lo abbiamo ascoltato dal vivo a Saalfelden nel 2015, una prestazione davvero pazzesca), il musicista ha al suo attivo anche collaborazioni con Peter ...
Self Imposed Exile: Live from Steinway Hall
by Alberto Bazzurro
Due suite di poco meno di un quarto d'ora ciascuna, per un totale di 26:42, compongono questo singolare album in cui fra i performer compare anche colui (Shaun Sutkus) che, oltre a curare la registrazione, interagisce in diretta (il disco deriva da un live newyorchese del dicembre 2014) con i due musicisti veri e propri.
Cameron Mizell: Negative Spaces
by Jerome Wilson
Cameron Mizell is not a well-known guitarist but he is a talented one. Working with just keyboards and drums on this CD he goes on an expansive excursion through the realms of jazz, progressive rock, funk and country. Just the first four tracks, which actually run together without a break, he goes through New ...
Ralph Alessi: Quiver
by Stefano Merighi
Il quartetto di Ralph Alessi mantiene due coordinate espressive ben distinte. Dal vivo, il repertorio ben compatto, per lo più introspettivo, si accende con una passione inaspettata, che realizza dunque una concezione dialettica della musica. Il magistero tecnico dei solisti si afferma a partire da sobri materiali di partenza e si evolve con irresistibili conversazioni e ...
Harvey Valdes: PointCounterPoint
by Glenn Astarita
It makes sense that experimental guitar hero and studio whiz David Torn would be involved to whatever extent on guitarist Harvey Valdes (Butch Morris, Sean Sonderegger's Magically Inclined) debut solo album. Torn mastered this studio session and the parallel here is that both guitarists tend to rip boundaries to shreds. Here, Valdes and violinist Sana Nagano ...
Shu Odamura: Cloud Illusions
by Mark Sullivan
Guitarist/composer Shu Odamura was born in Kyoto, Japan; graduated from the Berklee College of Music; and now lives in New York. He plays this all original set on nylon string guitar (despite the photo with electric guitar in the album liners) in a trio with bassist Yoshiki Yamada and drummer Yutaka Uchida. “Rain" opens the set ...
Meet Don Shire
by Tessa Souter and Andrea Wolper
Don Shire's club-hopping habit started in Pittsburgh, but his introduction to the capital of jazz was a 1971 Freddie Hubbard gig at New York jazz institution, the Village Vanguard. And he's still going strong 45 years later. One concert particularly stands out. “When it was over, the people just looked at each other. The feeling was, ...
Fred Hersch Trio: Sunday Night at the Vanguard
by Angelo Leonardi
"Questo è di gran lunga l'album migliore che ho realizzato in trio--dice Fred Hersch -e rappresenta al meglio il nostro modo di suonare." Ogni musicista tende a pensare allo stesso modo e la frase ci lascia perplessi perchè non è facile superare album strepitosi come Floating (Palmetto, 2014) realizzato in studio e Alive at ...
Vinnie Zummo: The Coyote
by Mark Sullivan
Guitarist Vinnie Zummo is best known for his long association with singer/songwriter Joe Jackson. He appeared on every Jackson album from Body and Soul (A&M, 1984) through Blaze of Glory (A&M, 1989), returning for The Duke (Razor & Tie Recordings, 2012). The Coyote is mostly original compositions (several of them new arrangements of tunes from earlier ...
