While it's true that, in the rock world, there are relatively few female guitarists, especially those leaning towards the heavier and more progressive side of the equation, that doesn't mean that those intrepid enough to enter what has traditionally been a man's world should be assessed on anything but their own merits. Good guitarists are good ...
Aruan Ortiz Trio: Hidden Voices
by Dan McClenaghan
The jazz piano trio comes in a wide spectrum of approaches, from the traditional--Red Garland, Tommy Flanagan--to the way out there avant-garde, like Cecil Taylor. When the subject of “Cuban pianists" comes up, some of the first names that come to mind are probably those who work in a traditional vein: Chucho Valdes, perhaps, or maybe ...
Beat Kaestli: Beat Kaestli: Live in Europe
by C. Michael Bailey
In my humble estimation, there are two ballad singers (living) without peer: Rebecca Parris and Beat Kaestli. The latter has had a string of recent recordings that are as innovative as they are entertaining, including: Happy, Sad And Satisfied (B&B Productions, 2005), Invitation (Chesky Records, 2010), and Collage (B&B Productions, 2014). Kaestli sneaks ...

by Mike Perciaccante
O.A.R. The Paramount Huntington, NY December 27, 2015 An O.A.R. concert is an event. In the '60s, it would have been referred to as a “happening." The jamband from Rockville, MD has a following that rivals that of Gov't Mule and could, as time marches forward, become similar to the legion ...

Karl Berger, Kirk Knuffke: Moon
by Vincenzo Roggero
Un mostro sacro della musica improvvisata, educatore, compositore, arrangiatore, direttore d'orchestra oltre che eccellente vibrafonista e pianista incontra il più sensibile alla tradizione tra gli emergenti trombettisti (pochi, molto pochi) che stanno esplorando nuovi sentieri nell'evoluzione dello strumento e nasce Moon. Parliamo naturalmente del veterano Karl Berger e del talentuoso Kirk Knuffke musicisti che, in due ...

Blue Whisper is her 12th recording as a leader, but her first ...
Ochion Jewell Quartet: Volk
by Alberto Bazzurro
Volk, in tedesco popolo, come tutti sappiamo. Il fatto è che i popoli rappresentati in questo album sono diversi (e nessuno ha a che fare con la Germania): Appalachi per il leader del quartetto, il sassofonista Ochion Jewell, marocchino per il pianista Amino Belyamani, iraniano per il bassista Sam Minaie, pakistano per il batterista Qasim Naqvi, ...
