Álvaro Torres: Iris
by Angelo Leonardi
Tempus fugit. Quest'album fotografa il debutto professionale a New York del pianista madrileno Álvaro Torres, in trio col batterista Barry Altschul e il contrabbassista John Hébert. La registrazione è del luglio 2023 ma già il mese successivo Torres presentava a Barcellona il quartetto europeo con Tony Malaby al sax tenore, Masa Kamaguchi al contrabbasso e Kresten ...
Cécile McLorin Salvant's Ogresse At Carnegie Hall
by Adam Beaudoin
Cécile McLorin Salvant Carnegie Hall Ogresse New York, NY May 21, 2025 The relationship between jazz and classical music has a long, complicated history. Musicians themselves tend to care more about the music than concepts of genre, and you only need to listen to the echoes of French Impressionism ...
Paolo Angeli: Su "Lema" E Molto Altro
by Libero Farnè
Non avevo intervistato Paolo Angeli dal febbraio 2007, quando il musicista sardo aveva già abbandonato la scena bolognese dove aveva maturato esperienze importanti e formative, di sicuro propedeutiche al raggiungimento della sua pienezza artistica. Da allora Angeli ha affrontato tante situazioni e collaborazioni musicali diverse, vedendo crescere la sua fama internazionale, grazie anche alla ...
Larry Stabbins & Mark Sanders: Cup & Ring
by John Sharpe
Inspired by the 5000 year old Neolithic rock carvings pictured on the sleeve, Cup & Ring opens and closes with brooding, ritualistic pieces in which Larry Stabbins' breathy flute drifts like mist over Mark Sanders' deliberate, processional percussion. These atmospheric bookends, along with similarly spare interludes throughout, frame a set grounded more deeply in the language ...
Ornette Coleman's and Horace Silver's "Lonely Woman" — A Disambiguation
by Artur Moral
Reality is filled with confusion and misunderstandings; some are suggestive or creative, while others are disappointing or, worse, malicious. The jazz world is no stranger to the first type: specific compositions are often confused or misidentified as if they were the same. Usually, this happens because of similar melodies or titles that are sometimes identical. This ...
Freedom Art Quartet: First Dance
by Carl Medsker
Raucous, brash and freewheeling, First Dance by The Freedom Art Quartet is rooted in the past yet fresh and contemporary. The album should sound familiar to those who have ventured outside the mainstream and spent time with Ornette Coleman and the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. Those forces are strong in the band, but labeling them retro ...
Joe Henry's Code of the Road
by Leo Sidran
For Joe Henry, truth in songwriting doesn't come from confession or fact. It comes from presence, from listening, from surrender, from giving shape to the ineffable. As he puts it: “Total presence--that is the code of my road." Henry's road has taken him across both the literal and metaphorical map of American music. Born ...
Joe Santa Maria: Oblique Rhyme
by Jack Kenny
The perennial challenge of balancing individual expression with collective harmony is masterfully addressed by Joe Santa Maria (saxophones), David Tranchina (bass), Gary Fukushima (piano), and Colin Woodford (drums). Their collaboration weaves contemporary jazz with blues and avant-garde elements, crafting an eclectic sound that showcases the quartet's versatility and chemistry. Fukushima's style is strikingly individualistic, ...
Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos: Boreal
by Dan Bilawsky
Portugal's Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos and Spanish saxophonist Perico Sambeat are no strangers. The two first collaborated on a concert back in 2007. Then they joined forces in 2021 to explore Ornette Coleman's work. Now, continuing to develop their relationship, they bring Iberian ideals and modernity to the fore on Boreal. Sambeat is ...
