Dr. Lonnie Smith: Jungle Soul
by AAJ Italy Staff
Non c’è nessuna ragione che lo abbia spinto ad indossare un turbante né ad assumere l’appellattivo di Doctor Lonnie Smith. Almeno, così lui dice. Nessuno lo sa, nemmeno lui. Di sicuro sa far suonare molto bene l’organo Hammond B3 a tal punto da guadagnarsi nella sua lunga e fortunata carriera il premio come miglior organista nel ...
The Matt Savage Trio: Quantum Leap
by Michael P. Gladstone
The life story of fourteen-year-old Matt Savage is surely a television movie in the making. While millions of Americans already know about this young musician because of his exposure in national magazines and media interviews (e.g. People magazine, The Today Show, 20/20, etc.) there are still more people who would be fascinated by Savage's journey.
Ted Nash and Still Evolved: In the Loop
by Brian P. Lonergan
Ted Nash and his Still Evolved quintet's thoroughly appealing In the Loop opens with a strong whiff of the early to mid-'60s Blue Note era, as if the wind which filled the sails of Maiden Voyage stirred again to nudge Nash's embarkation. The opening original “Kensington High, with its misty atmosphere of cymbals and snare rolls ...
Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra with Arturo O'Farrill: Una Noche Inolvidable
by Jack Bowers
It's never easy to replace a legend, especially when the legend happens also to be one's father. But Arturo O'Farrill, who doesn't want for courage or self-reliance, has seized the reins once held by his illustrious parent, the late Chico O'Farrill, and ridden the thoroughbred Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra into the winner's circle in the first-ever live ...
Ted Nash & Still Evolved: In the Loop
by Jim Santella
Ted Nash's modern mainstream quintet creates impressions that let your mind run free. Like his band's eponymous Palmetto debut from 2003, In the Loop features the leader's compositions in a creative, emotional affair. Much of the program resembles the work that Nash does with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, mixing tradition and invention ...
Ben Allison: Cowboy Justice
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il contrabbassista e compositore Ben Allison rientra in quella pattuglia di nuovi jazzmen che amano confrontarsi con moduli espressivi plurali, insofferenti di griglie imposte, tanto più di connotazioni ideologiche. Non che questo voglia dire disimpegno sociale, tutt’altro. Anzi, Allison insieme ad altri ottimi musicisti coordina da anni i lavori del Jazz Composers Collective, egregio esempio cooperativo ...
Frank Kimbrough: Play
by Matthew Miller
More than the presence of Paul Motian on this, Frank Kimbrough's seventh album as a leader, harkens to the legacy of Bill Evans. The pianists share an unparalleled grace of touch and musicality that subtly penetrate the ear, dancing with the innate, ineffable rhythmic sense that makes repeated listening a pleasure. And like Evans, Kimbrough creates ...
Ted Nash: In The Loop
by Troy Collins
For In The Loop, tenor saxophonist Ted Nash reconvened his mainstream quintet, last heard on Still Evolved (Palmetto, 2003). Trafficking in fresh interpretations of straight-ahead jazz, Nash's quintet may not be as conceptually unorthodox as his global jazz ensemble, Odeon, but his freewheeling aesthetic flourishes regardless of the setting. Nash is no stranger to ...
Dr. Lonnie Smith: Jungle Soul
by Troy Collins
Hammond B-3 master Dr. Lonnie Smith returns with a soulful, funky session of straight-ahead grooves and smoldering moods on Jungle Soul. After a series of focused tributes to individual musicians (John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and Beck, respectively), this release finds the good doctor drawing from classic and original source material for an enjoyable theme ride through ...
Dr. Lonnie Smith: Jungle Soul
by Jim Santella
Reaching down deep inside and interpreting ten pieces with moving feeling, Dr. Lonnie Smith leads his trio through a program filled with soulful emotion on Jungle Soul. Jungle Soul lets the good doctor turn it loose. He's subtle, and yet he's got a groove going on. Organ, guitar drums and percussion lead the way ...
