Dann Zinn: Two Roads
by Chris May
Bliss. Here is a tenor saxophonist to file next to the great New York-based Israeli tenor saxophonist Oded Tzur. The two players are far from interchangeable: each has their distinct sound and each has their distinct style. But both bring intimacy and solace to the soul, and both beam out a vibe of positivity. Tzur and ...

Jerome Sabbagh: Heart
by Chris May
AAJ occasionally publishes reviews which call out the barbarism of digital-only albums (Heart is not one of these, please hang on in there). Item: the review of Brazilian saxophonist and flautist Vinicius Mendes' Macunaismo Tardio Vol. 1&2 (Notes On A Journey, 2024).

Reflecting The Past, Embracing The Future

Current musicians often look back at that legacy, sometimes they use it, sometimes they build upon it and add a current perspective. In this way jazz is allowed to grow and develop whilst remaining true to ...

Linda Sikhakhane: Iladi
by Chris May
It is beyond coincidence that the two most uplifting albums released by male saxophonists so far in 2024 were made by players who use their music, in part, to celebrate female wisdom. The albums are Linda Sikhakhane's Iladi and Oded Tzur's My Prophet (ECM). New York-based Tzur's My Prophet, like its immediate predecessor, ...
Nitai Hershkovits: Call on the Old Wise
by Mario Calvitti
Il catalogo ECM è ricco di album di solo piano, a partire dagli inizi della label, quando i lavori di Paul Bley, Chick Corea e Keith Jarrett hanno fortemente contribuito a rilanciare il genere, spostandosi dalla rilettura di standard e composizioni originali, fino allora prevalente, all'improvvisazione spontanea con poca o nessuna preparazione preliminare. Questa formula sarà ...

Simultaneously an open call to prayer and a frisky dance of the debutantes, “Epilogue" and “Child You" beckon and pirouette the muse, the spirit, the higher gods of our calling to come and celebrate My Prophet. Crazy good from the solemn “Epilogue" to the rattling closer, “Last Bike Ride In Paris," My Prophet is ...
