Michael Bisio: Accortet
by John Sharpe
A history of the accordion in jazz would be a slight volume. The accordion sits midway between horn and keyboard, and perhaps it's a surprise given its versatility that it doesn't have a higher profile. Klezmer influenced companies apart, the rollcall at the exploratory end of the spectrum would include Anthony Braxton (of course), The Claudia ...
Julian Lage: Arclight
by Mario Calvitti
Il nuovo album del chitarrista Julian Lage, che segue a breve distanza di tempo il precedente World's Fair, ci dà un'ulteriore dimostrazione del suo immenso talento. A soli 28 anni, e con già 20 anni di attività professionale alle spalle, Lage ha accumulato un bagaglio tecnico strumentale di assoluta eccellenza, che ha modo di esibire anche ...
Rebecka Larsdotter: Whirlwind
by Jakob Baekgaard
Finding a balance between original material and the great tradition of jazz classics and standards can be difficult as a singer. Sometimes, you end up with albums that merely replicate what has already been said, and other times you encounter music that cuts all ties to tradition and ends up being strangely anonymous. This is not ...

Luis Perdomo: Montage
by Mark Corroto
The highest praise you can give to a recording by a solo performer is that the music was made just for your ears. Pianist Luis Perdomo's Montage gives just that impression. It's easy to imagine these fifteen tracks were played in your living room, or automobile, for that matter. After releasing seven discs as ...
Security Project: Live 1
by John Kelman
While so many singer-songwriters of the past 50 years have been covered time and again-even fostering tribute bands that recreate the live experience as close to perfection as possible-one of the most important, groundbreaking and forward-thinking songwriters of the past five decades has, for the most part, been overlooked. Peter Gabriel may have spent the first ...
Heard It In A Love Song: Ted Gioia & James Gavin
by C. Michael Bailey
Recently, I had to admit to myself that: (1) I will not live forever, and because of Number 1, (2) Not listen to all the music there is, and (3) not read all of the books on my list. Well, I am trying to bring up the rear on this latter point reviewing books by two ...
Ehud Asherie: Shuffle Along
by Maurizio Zerbo
Il progetto intrapreso da Ehud Asherie per questo album è ambizioso; re-interpretare il songbook di “Shuffle Along," primo musical di Broadway di matrice afroamericana. Le musiche composte nel 1921 da Eubie Blake brillano di una nuova luce, in tutte le declinazioni filologiche (ragtime, stride) e moderne. Colpisce il sobrio souplesse del pianista israeliano nel rinverdire con ...
On Kaa Davis: X-Ray Search Light Project: Djuke Music
by Dave Wayne
Though he's logged considerable time in Sun Ra's Arkestra, Kenny Wolleson's Himalayas Collective, and groups led by Donald Ayler, Charles 'Bobo' Shaw, and Luther Thomas, On Kaa Davis is not just another avant-garde jazz dude. As a teenager, the Cleveland, Ohio native journeyed to Vienna, Austria, where he studied classical guitar at the Hochschule for Music ...
Matt Wilson’s Big Happy Family: Beginning of A Memory
by Mark Sullivan
For this mostly retrospective session drummer/composer Matt Wilson convened all of the members--past and present--of his longest established groups: the Matt Wilson Quartet, Arts & Crafts, and Christmas Tree-O. So it's not only a larger ensemble than usual, but also a melding of the different stylistic focuses represented by those projects. There are 13 players altogether, ...
