Sarah Bernstein: Still/Free

Read "Still/Free" reviewed by Stefano Merighi

by Stefano Merighi

Nuovo talento in equilibrio tra jazz e poesia, musica per archi e improvvisazione, Sarah Bernstein introduce questo Still/Free con un lungo brano di squisito minimalismo ipnotico, poche note tematiche che lasciano il segno di una sensibilità particolare, interessata certo più alla musica di gruppo piuttosto che ad una vetrina per violino solista. Anzi, lo strumento sotto ...

Kali. Z. Fasteau: Intuit

Read "Intuit" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

From her twenty plus recordings she refuses to be fixed with a descriptor. She also performs on the nai, kaval and shakuhachi flutes, is a vocalist, ...

Matt Slocum Presents "Trio Pacific, Vol. 1" Featuring Dayna Stephens, Steve Cardenas, and Matt Slocum

Matt Slocum Presents "Trio Pacific, Vol. 1" Featuring Dayna Stephens, Steve Cardenas, and Matt Slocum

Available October 7, 2016 on Chandra Records U.S. Tour Dates: October 18 through November 9 “Slocum served the music with a focus on dynamic micro-detail, which in turn allowed his musicians to say even more. It’s a cerebral concept, one that comes to fruition on Black Elk’s Dream… Like Wayne Shorter’s classic Blue Note ...

Poetry & Jazz: Heroes Are Gangleaders / Clark Coolidge-Thurston Moore-Anne Waldman

Read "Poetry & Jazz: Heroes Are Gangleaders / Clark Coolidge-Thurston Moore-Anne Waldman" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

La relazione tra jazz e poesia ha avuto il suo apice negli anni cinquanta, quando gli scrittori beat legarono i loro testi all'estetica be-bop, s'è rinnovata nel decennio successivo e da allora non ha smesso di manifestarsi, anche se in forme sotterranee. Questi due album sono l'ultimo esempio di ciò che accade negli Sati ...

Marc Ribot: Live In Tokyo

Read "Live In Tokyo" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Art be damned, let's dance. If you are of a certain age, let's say the baby boomer generation, then the vintage sounds of Philadelphia soul are imprinted on your brain. The 1970's began with The O'Jays “Back Stabbers," which you might have heard on Dick Clark's American Bandstand, a show that originated in Philly, or perhaps ...

Daniel Meron: Sky Begins

Read "Sky Begins" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

Though pianist / composer Daniel Meron gets top billing on Sky Begins, it's vocalist Maia Karo who steals the show here. Yes, Sky Begins is a vocal jazz album. But it's a quite striking one. Meron's tunes are by no means typical jazz tunes, and Karo isn't a typical jazz singer. Though the album is all-acoustic ...

Mike Holober: Balancing Act

Read "Balancing Act" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Non è facile coniugare raffinatezza formale e tensione emotiva, meticolose orchestrazioni e libertà individuale, sottigliezze cameristiche e momenti jazzisticamente impetuosi. A capo del suo ottetto, Mike Holober offre un appassionante esempio di tutto ciò, realizzando il suo lavoro più maturo e ricercato, a distanza di sei anni dal precedente con la Gotham Jazz Orchestra ...

Beledo: Dreamland Mechanism

Read "Dreamland Mechanism" reviewed by Roger Farbey

by Roger Farbey

Hailing from Montevideo, Uruguay but now resident in New York City, prodigiously talented multi-instrumentalist Beledo signed to MoonJune Records in 2013. The result of this signing is a stunningly good album sporting some of jazz fusion's most talented exponents including the redoubtable British drummer Gary Husband and in-demand NYC bassist Lincoln Goines. Beledo won his spurs ...
