Greg Cohen: Golden State
by Ian Patterson
Though best known for his twenty-plus years in saxophonist John Zorn's Masada, bassist Greg Cohen's career has been marked by the diversity of his collaborations, from the carnivalesque Tom Waits and folkster Donovan, to rocker Lou Reed and saxophonist Ornette Coleman. So, in guitarist Bill Frisell--himself no stranger to experimentation--Cohen has found a most simpatico partner. ...
Mary LaRose: Reincarnation
by Alberto Bazzurro
Lavoro ben singolare, questo della cantante newyorkese Mary LaRose, che seleziona un carnet di brani decisamente emblematici di un modo di fare jazz (e relativo tessuto temporale), ci mette su dei testi, e li interpreta col prevalente supporto di un quartetto d'archi. Gli autori sono Charles Mingus e Ornette Coleman, col trait d'union ...

Jonas Kullhammar Old and New Ways
by Eyal Hareuveni
Swedish great saxophonist Jonas Kullhammar always knew to position his musical activities in a rich historical, musical and artistic context, often with a sharp sense of humor. His tenor playing owes much to such great American post-bop sax players as John Coltrane (and his quartet covered recently Coltrane seminal A Love Supreme), but also to iconic ...

Don Was: The Music Is Paramount
by R.J. DeLuke
The president of the iconic Blue Note Records, the man who is stewarding the label as it marches into it's 75th anniversary year celebration, comes from the wrong side of the tracks, in a sense. He's not a gut in a suit. He came up through the trenches as a working musician. He liked jazz and ...
