Michael Moore - Fred Hersch: This We Know
by AAJ Italy Staff
Michael Moore e Fred Hersch si conoscono dal 1975. Si sono incontrati al New England Conservatory of Boston, dove entrambi erano andati per studiare con Jaki Byard. Da allora, hanno suonato numerose volte insieme, anche se questa è la loro prima registrazione in duo. Un incontro tra vecchi amici, insomma, che non hanno bisogno di (auto)celebrarsi ...
Ted Nash: The Mancini Project
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il fine di The Mancini Project, come il titolo suggerisce, era quello di rendere omaggio al genio compositivo di Henry Mancini ed alle sue celeberrime colonne sonore da film, che sono per il sassofonista Ted Nash 'di casa', dal momento che sia suo padre (il trombonista Dick Nash) che suo zio (il sassofonista Ted Nash) hanno ...
Ted Nash: The Mancini Project
by Douglas Payne
While Henry Mancini (1924-1994) borrowed plenty from jazz, he returned in kind by contributing a large body of fine, memorable music worthy of the melodic jazz tradition. Much of Mancini's best film music--particularly those scores from the early 1960s--sprang from the “cool jazz" of the 1950s West Coast Scene and featured some of the era's best ...
Kate McGarry: Less is More... Nothing is Everything
by Blaine Fallis
Coming across Kate McGarry's If Less is More... Nothing is Everything on an iPod in shuffle mode, it's possible that “Man of God," might be followed by “The Priest" and “Just What I Needed;" a couple of spiritual songs followed by a slow acoustic version of the hit song by The Cars. Listeners might at first ...
Will Bernard: Blue Plate Special
by Troy Collins
Blue Plate Special is San Francisco Bay Area guitarist Will Bernard's fifth release as a leader and his second for Palmetto Records, following the star-studded groove-fest, Party Hats (2007). Dispensing with the additional horns and guest instrumentalists of previous releases, this session features Bernard as the leader of a stripped-down quartet. The relatively spare setting allows ...
Frank Kimbrough: Air
by Raul d'Gama Rose
There is a haunting quality to Frank Kimbrough's solo piano record, Air. There is only one other solo piano record that has this overall effect on the listener, and that is Keith Jarrett's The Melody at Night, with You (ECM, 1998). Jarrett's program on that disc is very different--mainly ballads and standards--while Kimbrough's strikes out on ...
Michael Moore & Fred Hersch: This We Know
by Jim Santella
This duo session between two old friends finds both in an expressive mood, leaving the cares of a troubled world behind while they relax with original music and classic themes. Jazz' modern mainstream is on parade here, as pianist Fred Hersch joins clarinetist and alto saxophonist Michael Moore on a program that oozes with flowing, interactive ...
Bobby Previte & The New Bump: Set the Alarm for Monday
by AAJ Italy Staff
Staffilate da soundtrack noir (in grado di richiamare alla mente Lalo Schifrin o Leroy Holmes), l’ineffabile ammiccamento notturno alla Lounge Lizard e un andamento decisamente newyorkese, sono gli estremi di questa ottima nuova uscita dell’instancabile Bobby Previte. In questo caso è alle prese con una serie di proprie eccellenti composizioni, che già dai titoli tradiscono una ...
Frank Kimbrough: Air
by Budd Kopman
Pianist Frank Kimbrough, who is very active in the Maria Schneider Orchestra and his own projects like the Jazz Composers Collective and the Herbie Nichols Project, relates in the notes to his intensely personal and introspective solo album, Air, that one of his first gigs in New York City was a solo gig on Bleecker Street ...
Robert Walter: Cure All
by Doug Collette
The advantage of working below the radar, as Robert Walter generally does, is that you are free of the cult of personality and celebrity that so often dilutes an artist's work. The disadvantage is that your good work, like Cure All, may not get the attention it deserves It's not that Walter is without credentials. A ...
