Read "Who's Counting" reviewed by Luca Muchetti

by Luca Muchetti

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.

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 ...

Jeff Lederer's Brooklyn Blowhards: Brooklyn Blowhards

Read "Brooklyn Blowhards" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Imagine seeing a despondent Albert Ayler walking around Brooklyn on a cold November day in 1970, with his tenor saxophone under his arm. Some say he threw himself into the East River, a suicide by drowning. His loss, our loss, was one a true original voices in jazz. Now picture Ayler with a copy ...
