Monterey Jazz Festival 2016
by Josef Woodard
Monterey Jazz Festival Monterey, CA September 16-18, 2016 In its 59th annual edition, the Monterey Jazz Festival once again delivered on its promise to bring a stylistic plethora and pageantry--with nods to more abstract or daring fare--to the Monterey County Fairgrounds. Among the marquee bragging rights: an impressive new commissioned ...
Lewis Porter on John Coltrane
by Victor L. Schermer
The following interview with Lewis Porter, author of John Coltrane: His life and Music, was conducted by telephone on April 15, 2000. I am indebted to Dr. Porter for taking the time from his exceptionally busy schedule as musician, writer, teacher, and father to share his views with us. All About Jazz: It's ...
Andy Sheppard Quartet: Surrounded By Sea
by Luigi Sforza
Si immaginino una pulsazione ritmica regolare, brani chiusi e strutturati in sezioni, armonie tensive e distensive che si alternano in base alle articolazioni delle frasi melodiche, improvvisazioni che seguono patterns e cliché consolidati del linguaggio e si avrebbe un format per certi versi omologante, avulso da ogni tentativo di ricerca creativa di uno stile originale.
Joe McPhee: Flowers
by Mark Corroto
For the longest time it was a commonly held belief that solo saxophone performances, especially freely improvised solo saxophone performances, were an acquired taste. Meaning they are things that one has come to like only through experience, but mostly it is a polite way to say you find the music distasteful. Certainly, much of improvised music ...

Jon Lundbom’s Big Five Chord: Make The Changes
by Karl Ackermann
Earlier in the year, guitarist Jon Lundbom, and his Big Five Chord quintet, began the unusual business approach of releasing a stratified set of four EPs, eventually culminating in a complete box set on Hot Cup Records. The approximately one half-hour of content on each disc was a lavish proposal from the start, giving each EP ...
I 10 CD nel CD-Player di .... Paolo Angeli
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Chili Vanilla -Chili Vanilla (Dayladore Collective -2012). Freschezza dalla Norvegia: essenzialmente un trio che fa canzoni storte con un organico composto da tuba, batteria e voce. Mi colpisce l'essenzialità delle composizioni e la trasversalità. 02. United Vibrations -The Myth of the Golden Ratio (Ubiquiti Record -2016). Un capolavoro che sembra ...
Fred Hersch Trio: Sunday Night at the Vanguard
by Angelo Leonardi
"Questo è di gran lunga l'album migliore che ho realizzato in trio--dice Fred Hersch -e rappresenta al meglio il nostro modo di suonare." Ogni musicista tende a pensare allo stesso modo e la frase ci lascia perplessi perchè non è facile superare album strepitosi come Floating (Palmetto, 2014) realizzato in studio e Alive at ...
Tito Mangialajo Rantzer e il Questionario di Proust
by AAJ Staff
All About Jazz Italia: Il tratto principale della mia musica. Tito Mangialajo Rantzer: Che sia sincera e con lo sguardo verso l'ignoto e il rischio. Ma anche che sia in qualche modo legata alla tradizione, al suono di quella musica che chiamiamo jazz, della quale sono terribilmente innamorato. AAJI: La qualità che ...
