Gretchen Parlato: In A Dream
by C. Michael Bailey
Vocalist Gretchen Parlato is part Bobby McFerrin, part Theo Bleckmann, and David Binney. All men, yes. Parlato's voice is light as an apparition, ethereal and implied. She is fond of vocal gymnastics as is McFerrin. She shares a sense of humor in art with Bleckmann and a musical adventurousness with Binney. In A Dream is the ...
John Ellis & Double Wide: Puppet Mischief
by Doug Collette
Saxophonist John Ellis is slowly but surely distinguishing himself as a notably singular figure in contemporary jazz. Establishing a firm foundation for himself as a tenured accompanist to 7-string guitarist Charlie Hunter, the North Carolina native and current resident of Brooklyn embarked on his solo career in authoritative style with One Foot in the Swamp (Hyena, ...
Jacques Schwarz-Bart: Abyss
by AAJ Italy Staff
Jacques ha un rapporto singolare col tempo e con lo spazio. Il sax tenore lo ha imbracciato solo a 24 anni, prima di ottenere un titolo alla Berklee School of Music, dopo altri quattro anni.

John Ellis & Double-Wide: Puppet Mischief
by Chris May
Brooklyn-based saxophonist John Ellis is a player who, whenever he puts his horn in his mouth, makes it seem like retro-modern is the only show in town. His style is part classic soul and funk, part modern jam band groove and part freewheeling improvisation. He has a particular affinity with New Orleans roots music and also ...
Anne Drummond: Like Water
by Dan Bilawsky
Listening to vibraphonist Stefon Harris's outstanding African Tarantella (Blue Note, 2006), flautist Anne Drummond's work can often fly under the radar. Her importance on these recordings, however, can't be overstated: she often provides the textural glue that makes the group gel, and the only reason her fine flute work might not be more obvious is because ...
Gretchen Parlato: In a Dream
