Read "El Conde Negro" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Le splendide doti di Pete Rodriguez evidenziate due anni fa nel debutto Caminando con Papi le ritroviamo in questo nuovo lavoro, registrato ancora in quintetto, dove ritroviamo il pianista Luis Perdomo e il percussionista Robert Quintero ma si aggiungono Rudy Royston alla batteria e Ricky Rodriguez al contrabbasso, rendendo jazzisticamente avvincente la dimensione ritmica. Il risultato ...

INNERrOUTe: Fourmation

Read "Fourmation" reviewed by John Ephland

by John Ephland

Starting with keyboardist Joe Vincent Tranchina's steady, alarming tone, Fourmation suggests an emergency of some kind. “Consensual Motion" gradually includes the other three members entering the fray, a fray that's loose and free-form, and eventually calming, not to mention a little bit funky. Michael D'Agostino's drum fills combine with Bill McCrossen's probing basslines to form a ...

Yoni Kretzmer 2 Bass Quartet: Book II

Read "Book II" reviewed by John Sharpe

Walt Weiskopf: The Way You Say It

Read "The Way You Say It" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto
