Scott Tixier: Cosmic Adventure
by James Nadal
If there is a French connection in contemporary jazz, it might arguably be the violin. Though the instruments role was explored by American pioneering ensembles, the French players added an innovative approach to improvisation, incorporating more of the European influence. Heralded as a violin trendsetter for the current generation, French wunderkind Scott Tixier returns four years ...
Yoni Kretzmer: Five
by John Sharpe
NYC-based Israeli saxophonist Yoni Kretzmer has pulled together a dynamite cast for the debut of his quintet. Kretzmer's thoughtfully arranged compositions engender classic small group free jazz by what comes across as a little big band. It's the sort of session you might have found on the Black Saint label in its heyday, but given a ...

Spike Wilner: Koan
by Mark Corroto

Werner's teachings on enlightenment flow through this trio recording, Wilner's sixth as a leader. As a disciple of Harlem stride and ragtime, ...

Un posto del cuore, al centro dell'anima. Uno spazio nel quale sentirsi completi, leggeri, liberi; teneramente imprigionati in quel groviglio di emozioni e suggestioni che sono il ...
