Paolo Fresu: Songlines / Night & Blue

Read "Songlines / Night & Blue" reviewed by Greg Simmons

Being an Italian album, it seems ...

Boris Savoldelli: Biocosmopolitan

Read "Biocosmopolitan" reviewed by Mark Redlefsen


What a contrast Boris Savoldelli's Biocosmopolitan is to the vocalist's predecessor, Protoplasmic (MoonJune Records, 2009), which featured guitarist Elliot Sharp as his chief collaborator. While Protoplasmic was a brave dive into the experimental, Biocosmopolitan is a bright, infectious and singable work. The right balance of passion, delivery, and technology come together for 16 enjoyable tracks with ...

AA.VV.: Jazz al dente

Read "Jazz al dente" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Sul piano musicale, magari, la forbice - stilistica, ma forse soprattutto di valori - è ...

Paolo Fresu / A Filetta Corsican Voices / Daniele di Bonaventura: Mistico Mediterraneo

Read "Mistico Mediterraneo" reviewed by John Kelman


At a time when cross-pollination has become the new musical evolution, ECM Records remains at the vanguard. Whether blending music of Tunisian origins with European impressionistic concerns and hints of New World groove on oudist Anouar Brahem's The Astounding Eyes of Rita (2009), or marrying Persian percussion with Baroque instrumentation and Fourth World improvisation on keyboardist ...

Paolo Fresu 5tet: Songlines-Night & Blue

Read "Songlines-Night & Blue" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Un CD di sole composizioni originali che coinvolge nella scrittura tutti e cinque i membri dello storico quintetto, ed uno di standard, non tutti notissimi, che contengono le parole Night e Blue. E'questa l'idea che il trombettista di Berchidda ha messo in atto per dare alla luce una nuova etichetta con l'obiettivo dichiarato di promuovere “certezze ...
