Ralph Towner / John Abercrombie: Five Years Later
by John Kelman
The long overdue release of Ralph Towner and John Abercrombie's Five Years Later, originally released in 1982, may well be the most eagerly anticipated of the Re:Solutions series that brings into print--on CD (four titles for the first time, Five Years Later previously only available for a limited time in Japan), vinyl and high resolution digital ...
Marty Ehrlich Large Ensemble: A Trumpet in the Morning
by Maurizio Zerbo
Ricercatore instancabile, Marty Ehrlich torna dopo 13 anni con un progetto per big band, firmando uno dei dischi più belli del 2013. Rara avis, il lavoro di arrangiamento si distingue per una idea di jazz magnificamente svincolato da regole e formulette. Prevale una pratica musicale estremamente volatile, che anche all'interno di un solo episodio cambia continuamente ...
Gretchen Parlato: Live in NYC
by Angelo Leonardi
Tra le molte voci femminili emerse nel nuovo millennio quella di Gretchen Parlato primeggia per classe interpretativa, padronanza ritmica, sensibilità e originalità timbrica. Nel panorama delle nuove interpreti bianche non crediamo abbia rivali, tanto quanto Cécile McLorin Salvant è oggi nell'ambito afro-americano. In questo doppio album (un CD audio e un DVD), ...
Ben Allison: The Stars Look Very Different Today
by Vic Albani
Ibrido e crossover da sempre, il contrabbassista statunitense Ben Allison è uno di quei musicisti che--altrettanto da sempre--è caratterizzato dall'iper-classica etichetta “o lo ami o lo odi."

Misha Tsiganov: The Artistry Of The Standard
by Dan Bilawsky
Standards represent so many things. They can be a fallback for those short on ideas or a springboard for those willing to invest a bit of themselves into the music. They're a representative historical sampling of what jazz has been and done, reminding all of those on the bandstand of who and what came before, but ...
Trio Shalva: Breeza
by Dan Bilawsky
Trio Shalva's debut recording--Riding Alone (Self Produced, 2011)--captured a band at the dawn of its being. Yes, the group had formed in 2009, two calendar years before that album was released, but the music for that record was recorded in 2010, presenting a band that was basically just starting on its way. Now comes Breeza, the ...

by Ian Patterson
A million-selling artist in Indonesia with pop-rock band Gigi, guitarist Dewa Budjana's solo projects informed by progressive rock, Indonesian folk and jazz fusion reveal a greater spirit of adventure. Budjana's second release of 2013 on the MoonJune label following Dawai in Paradise is similarly melodic, though differs significantly. Firstly, the word-fusion-meets-prog rock of Dawai in Paradise ...
