Cortex: Live!

Read "Live!" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


Bastano le prime battute di “Opening" per andare con il pensiero allo storico quartetto di Ornette Coleman e Don Cherry, che tanto scompiglio portò nel mondo del jazz agli inizi degli anni sessanta. Questi quattro giovanotti norvegesi non possono sconvolgere più di tanto un ring musicale che da anni è abituato ad ogni tipo di incontro ...

Hafez Modirzadeh: In Convergence Liberation

Read "In Convergence Liberation" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Inciso nel 2011 riunendo pagine tutte a firma del multistrumentista di origine iraniana (ma nato a Durham, Carolina del Nord, nel 1962) Hafez Modirzadeh, questo lavoro è per più di un verso emblematico di come si possa far felicemente convivere ambizioni compositive post-accademiche, seduzioni di memoria etnica e pruriti jazzistici di stampo contemporaneo.Vi trovano ...

Where Is Home: Janel & Anthony and Palo Colorado Dream: Anthony Pirog

Read "Where Is Home: Janel & Anthony and Palo Colorado Dream: Anthony Pirog" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Modern era guitar heroes such as Nels Cline, Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell are expressive stylists, possessing distinct ways of conveying a narrative amid branded and well-defined stylizations. No need to compare, but from a fundamental standpoint, these gents and other elite craftsmen bear the goods that often transcend the norm or anticipated methods of spinning ...

Masqualero: Masqualero

Read "Masqualero: Masqualero" reviewed by John Kelman


MasqualeroMasqualeroOdin1983 Despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, there are still those who think that Norwegian musicians can't play “real jazz" (whatever that is), and that what they do play is something consistently (and erroneously) categorized as “Nordic Cool." Submitted for your approval is today's Rediscovery: the self-titled debut from Masqualero, ...

Lee Morgan Indeed! – Blue Note 1538

Read "Lee Morgan Indeed! – Blue Note 1538" reviewed by Marc Davis


The first time Lee Morgan entered a recording studio, he was just 18 years old and he was leading his own band. More impressive, that band included soon-to-be-legendary pianist Horace Silver and drummer Philly Joe Jones. This is the CD of that 1956 recording session. While the players were great, the music is merely ...

Archie Shepp: Archie Shepp And The New York Contemporary Five

Read "Archie Shepp And The New York Contemporary Five" reviewed by Chris Mosey


The New Thing is now old hat; all those squawking saxophones, blipping trumpets and discordant piano explorations a thing of the past. With its arrival in the early 1960s, jazz reached the end of its historical road. The New Thing wasn't The Shape Of Jazz To Come, as an Ornette Coleman album title ...

New Vocabulary: New Vocabulary

Read "New Vocabulary" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Saxophonist Ornette Coleman has such an original voice that his horn would be recognizable if he sat in with a Japanese noise band. Like late-Miles Davis appearances, the pleasure is hearing his distinctive blues-drenched sound, the plaintive cry of his alto saxophone. He last surfaced, on a recording that is, with Sonny Rollins' Road Shows, Vol. ...
