Rudresh Mahanthappa: Bird Calls

Read "Bird Calls" reviewed by Dave Wayne


On Bird Calls, alto saxophonist and composer Rudresh Mahanthappa takes on the music of Charlie Parker in a personal and profound way, accompanied by his whip-smart, uber-hip and youthful backing band. Let's face it, folks; this is the sort of thing a jazz fan's daydreams are made of. The result doesn't disappoint; Bird Calls is a ...

Read "Out Loud" reviewed by John Sharpe

Hilary Gardner: The Great City

Read "The Great City" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Nel traboccante panorama delle nuove jazz singers, Hilary Gardner ha saputo emergere già con questo debutto, che spicca per la sentita adesione al jazz anni quaranta/cinquanta senza timore d'apparire demodé. La Gardner è una suadente interprete di ballads che disegna con profonda musicalità, purezza espressiva ed elegante chiarore timbrico secondo i modelli di Julie London, Peggy ...

Hypercolor: Hypercolor

Read "Hypercolor" reviewed by Dave Wayne


The past few months have seen a stream of truly--and in some cases mind-bogglingly--wonderful guitar-centric power trio albums. Yet, the eponymous debut of the Brooklyn-based avant-jazz-rock band Hypercolor stands out, but not for the reasons you'd think. Sure, the trio consists of musical brainiacs James Ilgenfritz and Lukas Ligeti; genre omnivores whose own work and collaborations ...

Fred Hersch Trio: Floating

Read "Floating" reviewed by Maurizio Zerbo


Fred Hersch è ormai divenuto uno dei principali protagonisti del piano jazz contemporaneo. Per questo motivo ogni suo progetto ingenera molte aspettative da parte di pubblico e critica. Floating non sembra essere all'altezza delle magistrali prove discografiche di cui il Nostro si era reso protagonista in passato. A scanso di equivoci, il suo pianismo si sprigiona ...

Musette Explosion: Introducing Musette Explosion

Read "Introducing Musette Explosion" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


Will Holshouser, Matt Munisteri e Marcus Rojas scrivono una nuova pagina nella lunga relazione che lega il jazz alla musette e, innanzi tutto, hanno il merito di non riproporre le varie tipologie dello stile manouche (a partire dalla matrice storica di Django Reinhardt e Stéphane Grappelli) scegliendo semmai di seguire un percorso analogo a quello di ...

David Virelles: Mbókò

Read "Mbókò" reviewed by Luca Canini


Certo che ne ha di talento David Virelles. A quintali, a vagonate. Da affittare, vendere e persino subappaltare. Nell'ottobre del 2012, quando la Pi Recordings mise il timbro su Continuum, secondo disco del pianista di origini cubane, non furono in molti ad accorgersi che era nata una stella. Oggi, a due anni abbondanti ...
