Greg Cohen: Golden State
by Ian Patterson
Though best known for his twenty-plus years in saxophonist John Zorn's Masada, bassist Greg Cohen's career has been marked by the diversity of his collaborations, from the carnivalesque Tom Waits and folkster Donovan, to rocker Lou Reed and saxophonist Ornette Coleman. So, in guitarist Bill Frisell--himself no stranger to experimentation--Cohen has found a most simpatico partner. ...
Scott Feiner & Pandeiro Jazz: A View From Below
by Glenn Astarita
New York City-based jazz musician Scott Feiner's fourth recording as a leader draws attention to his unique artistry as a pandeiro player, which is a hand drum he discovered during his first trip to Brazil in 1999. As an educator, he's spread the good word with presentations and workshops across the globe. Interestingly enough, Feiner's percussive ...

Billy Hart Quartet: One is the Other
by John Kelman
There's little doubt about the value of longevity and ongoing musical relationships. It's been nearly a decade since Billy Hart assembled the group that would turn out to be his longest-standing, releasing Quartet (HighNote) in 2006. But it was with 2012's All Our Reasons that the drummer moved to ECM, reaping the benefits of the label's ...
Archie Shepp Attica Blues Orchestra: I Hear the Sound
by Vincenzo Roggero
Nel 1972 Archie Shepp usciva con Attica Blues album accolto con favore dal pubblico ma liquidato senza tanti complimenti dalla critica che rimproverò a Shepp la virata verso una commercializzazione e semplificazione eccessiva della sua proposta musicale, salvo poi negli anni successivi rivalutarlo ampiamente e consideralo un significativo manifesto dei cambiamenti in corso nella black music ...

Matt Wilson Quartet + John Medeski: Gathering Call
by Vincenzo Roggero
La partenza con un brano di Duke Ellington non è solo l'omaggio ad un gigante della musica del Novecento ma un vero e proprio manifesto programmatico del Matt Wilson Quartet. In Gathering Call ritroviamo alcuni tratti distintivi del pensiero musicale di Duke: la leggerezza elevata ad arte, l'abilità nel condensare in brani di pochi minuti mondi ...
Franklin Kiermyer: Joy And Consequence
by Ian Patterson
The tradition. It's common jazz terminology. What does it mean, though, to be “in the tradition"? The term usually confers on the musician a stamp of authenticity and infers working knowledge of the dominant idiom, as typified by the jazz cannon. It also perhaps implies a certain orthodoxy. It's strange to think, however, that a music ...
Taylor Ho Bynum 7-tette: Navigation
by Vincenzo Roggero
L'intento--racconta lo stesso Taylor Ho Bynum nelle note di copertina--è quello di massimizzare la libertà dei musicisti nell'ambito delle sfide poste dalla rigidità e dalla struttura delle composizioni. A tal fine organizza Navigation (The Complete Firehouse 12 Recordings) in questo modo: una seduta dal vivo registrata il sette dicembre 2012 con il sestetto e fissata su ...
