Gary Peacock Trio: Now This

Read "Now This" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo

by Maurizio Zerbo

La pubblicazione di questo CD avviene in concomitanza con l'ottantesimo compleanno del contrabbassista statunitense. Non è quindi il caso di fare le pulci ad un CD che celebra la carriera artistica di un grande protagonista del jazz moderno. Le undici tracce rappresentano il lato lunare ed intimistico del leader, a scapito dei gloriosi trascorsi avanguardistici. In ...

Heads of State: Search For Peace

Read "Search For Peace" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan

by C. Andrew Hovan

Much like another group of distinguished jazz veterans, namely The Cookers, the premise here was a simple one. Get together a crew of like-minded musicians with a track record of shared experiences and see where the music takes things. The genesis for Heads of State was a three-day homage to McCoy Tyner last fall at Smoke ...

Steve Davis: Say When

Read "Say When" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan

by C. Andrew Hovan

The winds of change have actively sought to change the jazz vernacular of the 21st century. Fueled in large part by the media, it seems that the darlings of the current set have opted for a broader definition of the music. Key elements such as melody and a prominent swing feel are often looked upon as ...

Jean-Michel Pilc: What Is This Thing Called?

Read "What Is This Thing Called?" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo

by Maurizio Zerbo

Pochi altri pianisti jazz riescono come Jean-Michel Pilc ad unire vibrante espressività, magistero tecnico e volatile progettualità. Lo dimostra questo CD imperniato sulla variazione/destrutturazione del celebre standard “What Is This Called Love." Il tema di Cole Porter diventa così il pretesto per una rigogliosa cavalcata in solitudine, tra le mille pieghe del pianoforte jazz e non. ...

London, Meander, Pramuk & Ross: The Royal Bopsters Project

Read "The Royal Bopsters Project" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

In the beginning, and by “beginning" I mean the February 26, 1926 commitment to shellac of Boyd Atkins' “Heebie Jeebies" by one Louis Armstrong. Legend has it that Armstrong dropped his lyric sheet while recording the song and no words to sing, began to improvise his vocals, creating scat singing. This was one of the first ...

Yelena Eckemoff Quartet: Everblue

Read "Everblue" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

In a quick follow-up to her masterful two CD set Lions, Russian-born and now North Carolina-based pianist Yelena Eckemoff offers up Everblue, the most “ECM Records-sounding" set not on that deservedly esteemed label. It is, rather, released on her own L&H Productions. The names of the sidemen on the date explain in part the ...
