Frank Malfitano, founder and executive director of M&T Syracuse Jazz Fest, said Gaga and Bennett's agent is seeking a date in Upstate New York in ...

Jonathan Kreisberg: Wave Upon Wave

Read "Wave Upon Wave" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Wave upon wave of praise has followed the release of each one of guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg's leader dates--small group affairs that are typically built with equal parts energy and taste; Wave Upon Wave, balancing fire with heart, stealth movement with direct engagement, and power with grace, is likely to garner some more. The ...

Jerome Sabbagh: The Turn

Read "The Turn" reviewed by Luigi Sforza

by Luigi Sforza

Non di rado il processo di elaborazione creativa parte dalla riformulazione di materiale preesistente, il quale assemblato in forma nuova può dar vita ad opere che assumono connotati affatto originali. Ciò che il tenor sassofonista francese di stanza a New York dal 1995 Jerome Sabbagh ha fatto nel suo ultimo disco -The Turn-è stato potenziare ...

Paul Motian: ECM Recordings

Read "ECM Recordings" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

Come mi è capitato di sottolineare in un ritratto monografico dedicato al batterista poco dopo la sua scomparsa [nel numero 164/gennaio 2012 della rivista BlowUp], non è certo casuale che la figura di Paul Motian abbia trovato una sua piena rilevanza negli anni Settanta e Ottanta, quando il jazz ha iniziato a riflettere in modo sistematico ...

Memories in Motian

Read "Memories in Motian" reviewed by Zeno De Rossi

by Zeno De Rossi

Poco dopo aver appreso la triste notizia della morte di Paul Motian, avvenuta il 22 novembre 2011, ho sentito la forte esigenza di ri-tuffarmi in profondità nella sua musica. In seguito, dopo aver letto un toccante scritto di Ellery Eskelin (pubblicato sul suo sito e riportato qui di seguito), pensai che sarebbe stato ...

Billy Harper: A Life of Persistence and Improvisation

Read "Billy Harper: A Life of Persistence and Improvisation" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke

by R.J. DeLuke

On stage, Billy Harper puts his lips to the tenor saxophone, stands relatively erect and sings through his horn; a strong, angular, muscular sound. There little physical gesticulation, belying the effort it takes to express feelings and emotions through the instrument. But Harper's creative statements demand attention. Over the last few years, a lot ...

Maria Ahn: Je t'aime Bowie

Read "Je t'aime Bowie" reviewed by Mario Calvitti

by Mario Calvitti

Da quando il Kronos Quartet e altre formazioni simili hanno abbattuto gli steccati tra musica accademica e musica popolare interpretando in chiave contemporanea i classici del rock, le contaminazioni tra i generi non si sono risparmiate. E se in passato erano i musicisti rock a cercare di nobilitarsi strizzando l'occhio al mondo classico con ibridizzazioni tanto ...

Sylvie Courvoisier Trio: Double Windsor

Read "Double Windsor" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

I dieci minuti dell'iniziale title-track valgono da soli il prezzo del biglietto. Non che il resto dello spettacolo sia di secondo piano, ma è in quell'inizio folgorante che riusciamo a cogliere al meglio l'originale vis poetica di Sylvie Courvoisier, pianista di origini svizzere da anni trapiantata a New York. C'è un ostinato sui ...

Cecil McBee: Masterful, And Always Equipped

Read "Cecil McBee: Masterful, And Always Equipped" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke

by R.J. DeLuke

Cecil McBee is one of the finest bass players on the scene, a status he's held among musicians for many years, even if the public is slower to pick up on the achievements of this 79-year-old musician extraordinaire. A natural, he was quick to connect with musicians in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. But ...
