Marty Ehrlich Large Ensemble: A Trumpet in the Morning
by Maurizio Zerbo
Ricercatore instancabile, Marty Ehrlich torna dopo 13 anni con un progetto per big band, firmando uno dei dischi più belli del 2013. Rara avis, il lavoro di arrangiamento si distingue per una idea di jazz magnificamente svincolato da regole e formulette. Prevale una pratica musicale estremamente volatile, che anche all'interno di un solo episodio cambia continuamente ...
Gretchen Parlato: Live in NYC
by Angelo Leonardi
Tra le molte voci femminili emerse nel nuovo millennio quella di Gretchen Parlato primeggia per classe interpretativa, padronanza ritmica, sensibilità e originalità timbrica. Nel panorama delle nuove interpreti bianche non crediamo abbia rivali, tanto quanto Cécile McLorin Salvant è oggi nell'ambito afro-americano. In questo doppio album (un CD audio e un DVD), ...

by Dan Bilawsky
Standards represent so many things. They can be a fallback for those short on ideas or a springboard for those willing to invest a bit of themselves into the music. They're a representative historical sampling of what jazz has been and done, reminding all of those on the bandstand of who and what came before, but ...
Trio Shalva: Breeza
by Dan Bilawsky
Trio Shalva's debut recording--Riding Alone (Self Produced, 2011)--captured a band at the dawn of its being. Yes, the group had formed in 2009, two calendar years before that album was released, but the music for that record was recorded in 2010, presenting a band that was basically just starting on its way. Now comes Breeza, the ...
