Ergo: As subtle as tomorrow

Read "As subtle as tomorrow" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

The premise for this album is based on a succinct Emily Dickenson poem, As Subtle as Tomorrow with the verse allocated to the individual track titles. Subtle is an adjective that parallels the trio's chief mode of operations. The band's muse is nestled somewhere within an existential progressive jazz format, layered with ambient-electronic treatments and hearty ...

Gabriel Vicéns: Days

Read "Days" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Non ancora trentenne il chitarrista portoricano Gabriel Vicéns dimostra di sapersi muovere disinvoltamente nel mare magnum del modern mainstrem, con piglio autorevole nella conduzione musicale, con studiata scaltrezza nel variare mood e atmosfere, con intelligenza nell'assicurarsi i servigi di due vecchie volpi come il sassofonista David Sanchez e il trombettista Alex Sipiagin anche co-produttore del disco, ...

David Fiuczynski: Flam! Blam!

Read "Flam! Blam!" reviewed by Maurizio Comandini

by Maurizio Comandini

Il chitarrista americano David Fiuczynski si lascia condurre per mano dall'ispirazione che nasce dal canto degli uccelli per questo suo album intrigante e misterioso. Ci vengono subito in mente due esperienze straordinarie come quella dell'Eric Dolphy degli anni sessanta che confidava agli amici di essere stato particolarmente colpito dello stesso fenomeno e di essere impegnato nella ...

Rachelle Garniez: Who's Counting

Read "Who's Counting" reviewed by Luca Muchetti

by Luca Muchetti

Malinconica e ironica, appassionata e legata a un songwriting che riporta dalla sua New York alle strade di Parigi, spesso evocate da una fisarmonica che non fa rimpiangere la scelta, talvolta estrema, di arrangiamenti ridotti all'osso. Rachelle Garniez torna con un album fra i migliori mai pubblicati della cantante statunitense. Un disco che ...

Tom Rainey Trio: Hotel Grief

Read "Hotel Grief" reviewed by Stefano Merighi

by Stefano Merighi

Se c'è Tom Rainey dietro i tamburi, state certi che la musica palpita, veleggia, s'impenna. Che sia un piano-trio jazz (Kenny Werner, Fred Hersch, Kris Davis) o un gruppo a composizione stratificata e complessa (Tim Berne), oppure un gioco di libera improvvisazione (i Lark, Tony Malaby), il drumming di Rainey è garanzia di sorpresa, tensione drammatica, ...

Read "The Edge of Visibility" reviewed by Jim Olin

by Jim Olin

How the mind liberally generates artistic transcendence is a phenomenal concept, and creating music is a customary form to express the ethereal otherworldliness of what is beyond the mundane. Guitarist Cameron Mizell's fearless spirit travels to a different cosmos with his album The Edge of Visibility. Mizell undauntedly rambles the peripheries of his imagination.

Avram Fefer's Big Picture Holiday: Shimmer And Melt

Read "Shimmer And Melt" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Let's rescue the musical descriptor 'fusion,' a pejorative word used in jazz circles to connote a work of lesser weight and significance. We don't use that word when the jazz fusion is carried out by Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter, and in this case saxophonist Avram Fefer. His assemblage called Big Picture Holiday merges not just jazz ...
