Stefano Bollani, retrato múltiple de un grande ubicuo

by Joan A. Cararach
November 2, 2011

“Bollani è un grande, ma... ha il dono dell'ubiquità? E' dappertutto!"Así, en un comentario escrito en Facebook, expresaba su perplejidad una persona ante la constante presencia de Stefano Bollani (Milán, 1972) en los medios de comunicación italianos, tanto por su actividad en concierto (el pianista es, según muchos promotores italianos, seguro de venta de ...

August 4, 2011

A Filetta è il gruppo vocale che più di ogni altro, da trent'anni, porta avanti la prosecuzione e lo sviluppo del canto a cappella tradizionale della Corsica.

Boris Savoldelli: Biocosmopolitan

Read "Biocosmopolitan" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

May 28, 2011

The polyphonic vocal expertise of Italian artist Boris Savoldelli alters implications for the proverbial one-man band format. Although he receives assistance from revered session bassist/solo artist Jimmy Haslip, and some additional help from trumpeter Paolo Fresu--both appearing on selected tracks--it is Savoldelli who propagates the mesmeric performances. The vocalist uses electronics and voice overlays, ...

Paolo Fresu: Songlines / Night & Blue

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

by Greg Simmons
March 14, 2011

Paolo Fresu's Songlines/Night & Blue is a beautiful performance by a musician who does not feel compelled to prove himself with pyrotechnics. Instead, on this two-disc set, the Italian trumpeter prefers speaking his piece with lush melodies and a rich full horn sound, supported by an exceptional quartet. Being an Italian album, it seems ...

Boris Savoldelli: Biocosmopolitan

March 11, 2011

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

by AAJ Italy Staff
February 25, 2011

L'idea che sta alla base di questo doppio CD è molto prossima alla genialità: scovare quattordici artisti (o gruppi) disposti a cedere un loro brano per il primo dei due dischetti, e una ricetta (declinandola in prima persona) per il secondo. Sul piano musicale, magari, la forbice - stilistica, ma forse soprattutto di valori - è ...

February 15, 2011

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 ...
