Galway Jazz Festival 2016
by Ian Patterson
Galway Jazz Festival Various Venues Galway, Ireland October 7-9, 2016 The best jazz festivals are not necessarily the biggest. They're not always the ones with the marquee names. The best festivals, without a doubt, are the ones you remember, years later, for having had a hell of a good time. ...
Peter Brendler: Message In Motion
by David A. Orthmann
Message In Motion is a recording that can be gainfully approached from a number of angles. You can choose to play it in a single sitting from start to finish, taking in an array of moods evoked by bassist Peter Brendler's seven compositions and a band worthy of his exemplary skills as a writer. (The record ...
Jarrett Cherner Trio: Expanding Heart
by Dan Bilawsky
Forget about “the art of the trio." It's undoubtedly a topic worth discussing when you look at this album, and one that automatically comes up when you look at any piano-centric threesome, but it's a phrase that's been overused. Instead, let's talk about the heart of the trio--how it beats, what it feeds, where it leads, ...
The Ganelin Trio: Creative Tensions
by Duncan Heining
Imagine a time, not so very long ago, when a foreign Jazz/Improvising Trio created such a stir in Britain that they made the TV news! Imagine the national newspapers queuing round the block for interviews. And imagine London's Bloomsbury Theatre filled with musicians, journalists and arts administrators--not to mention the odd, very odd, raincoated spook.

Giunta al quinto album Nacka Forum si conferma come una delle realtà più ...
Two Sides of Stunt: Jacob Anderskov and Jacob Christoffersen
by Jakob Baekgaard
Stunt Records is the most prominent jazz label in Denmark, and for a long time they have released high quality jazz, but other genres have also caught the attention of label heads, Søren Friis and Peter Littauer. However, there is a decidedly mainstream appeal to many of their releases and the voices of the so-called avant-garde ...
Earprint: Earprint
by Jerome Wilson
Earprint follows the pattern laid down by several newer jazz groups in the last few years. They do short, pithy songs in the four to six minute range, sue choppy rhythms which draw a lot from rock and hip hop and construct intricate, slightly tongue-in- cheek melodies. This concept allows them to explore a large swath ...
John Coltrane: Coltrane And Crescent—Shadows And Light
by Mark Werlin
Visual art is a play of shadow and light, and contrast makes the forms visible. In the best jazz music, there is a kind of inner light that emanates from the musicians, the light of creative impulse, the light of spontaneous artistic expression. Some jazz musicians--too many--cast their own shadows of addiction and self-destructiveness. But often--too ...
