Justin Mullens: The Cornucopiad
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il cornista newyorkese Justin Mullens è qui alla guida di un ottetto che non fa mistero di riferirsi a certi esperimenti anni Cinquanta, che nel frattempo tanto esperimenti non sono più. Ciò non toglie che il CD in oggetto possieda svariati elementi di appeal per il potenziale ascoltatore. Anzitutto per la bellezza degli insiemi, quattro fiati ...
Freddie Redd: With Due Respect
by Chris Mosey
Freddie Redd is one of the last living links to the golden age of modern jazz. He started playing the piano after hearing Charlie Parker in the 1940s and made his mark on the scene in 1959 with his score for Jack Gelber's avant-garde play “The Connection." This told the story of a ...

Making A Jazz Blockbuster
by Jeff Fitzgerald, Genius

John Zorn: Flaga Plays Masada Book Two
by Luca Canini
Da un pezzo ormai ho rinunciato a seguire da vicino i passi di John Zorn. Troppa fatica stare appresso con puntualità e dedizione alla logorrea discografica del signor Tzadik. Maestro dell'elusione e dell'evanescenza che ha trasformato il catalogo della propria etichetta in una dedalica sala degli specchi (In the Hall of Mirrors forse non a caso ...
Brad Mehldau Trio: Blues and Ballads
by Dan McClenaghan
Call Brad Mehldau's Blues and Ballads the pianist's “Every Man Set." There has been, from the beginning of Mehldau's career, a sense of the cerebral in his approach, with its classical music influences and his deep technical virtuosity. Throw the sometimes dense and erudite writing for selected liner notes (mostly earlier in his career) ...

About Roberta Piket Born in Queens, New York, Roberta inherited a passion for music from both her parents. Her father was the Austrian composer Frederick Piket, who made significant contributions to both the musical liturgy of Reform Judaism and the concert hall with works performed by the New York Philharmonic under conductor Dimitri Metropolis. From her ...
William Parker, Lisa Sokolov, Cooper-Moore: Stan's Hat Flapping in the Wind
by Alberto Bazzurro
Album decisamente anomalo, quest'ultimo di William Parker, che vi ricopre il ruolo di puro e semplice autore (parole e musica, peraltro) di songs affidati a una forma quasi atavica, ancestrale, come quella che vede una voce accompagnata solo da un pianoforte. Del sessantaquattrenne bassista newyorchese ritroviamo peraltro diverse stimmate, in questo pur inusuale ...
Pat Metheny: The Unity Sessions
by Mario Calvitti
Il live in studio voluto da Pat Metheny per documentare il livello raggiunto dal gruppo nel corso del lungo tour mondiale che ha toccato 150 città vede ora la luce nella versione solo audio, dopo essere già stato pubblicato qualche mese fa come DVD/Blu Ray Disc. L'innesto del polistrumentista italiano Giulio Carmassi è bastato a trasformare ...
