Leo Genovese, Demian Cabaud, Marcos Cavaleiro: Estrellero

Read "Estrellero" reviewed by John Ephland


Leo Genovese's piano can sound like an orchestra. It does as much amidst his voluminous solo work on bassist Demian Cabaud's “Arbol Negro," his thick chords, the density of his playing full and ripe.

Ornette Coleman: New York Is Now & Love Call Revisited

Read "New York Is Now & Love Call Revisited" reviewed by Stefano Merighi


Verso la fine degli anni Sessanta, il jazz deve combattere una battaglia impari contro il mondo del nuovo rock, sviluppatosi dopo l'anno del flower power e dell'influsso dei nuovi gruppi inglesi negli USA.

3x3: Jazz Trios Playful and Pensive

Read "3x3:  Jazz Trios Playful and Pensive" reviewed by John Chacona

It seems like every month brings trio dates of such imagination and accomplishment as to render superlatives beside the point.
