Jazz on the Moon
by Ludovico Granvassu
On 20 July 1969, while Herbie Mann was over the figurative moon, because his Memphis Underground was the best selling jazz album in the country, the man was landing on the actual moon (apologies for the gender insensitivity here but otherwise the pun won't work...). What a day! 50 years later we celebrate the ...
Moldejazz 2019
by Martin Longley
Moldejazz Molde, Norway July 15-20, 2019 In the last few years, the Moldejazz festival's artists-in-residence have kept their appearances down to a manageable human count, with two or three concert manifestations apiece from Pat Metheny, Vijay Iyer and Maria Schneider. For the 2019 edition, that position was awarded to Norwegian ...

David Sanchez: Carib
by Friedrich Kunzmann
Puerto Rican Saxophonist David Sanchez belongs to the most prolific jazz musicians of the past twenty to thirty years. Not that the quality of his output suffers from the frequency of publications.

Judy Niemack: New York Stories
by Angelo Leonardi
Non è tra le cantanti più celebri del jazz moderno, ma è certamente tra le più brave.

E lo fa in maniera splendida, ...
Camila Meza: Ámbar
by Friedrich Kunzmann
After finally stepping into the limelight with 2016's Traces (Sunnyside Records)--the record on which Camila Meza impressively solidified her very own character and place as a musician and composer--the Chilean singer / guitarist returns with an entirely different cast of musicians that has grown to orchestral proportions, and a new batch of intriguing tunes that consist ...
Simon Lasky Group: About The Moment
by Geno Thackara
Which moment could this title be referring to? There's no shortage of beautifully striking ones scattered throughout the Simon Lasky Group's second outing: dynamic lifts and swells, chord changes that step through sophisticated sequences as smoothly as descending stairs, little heads or melody lines that pack a special hit because they're placed at just the right ...

Take Five with Trio Lisipi
by AAJ Staff
About Trio Lisipi Sometimes jazz happens to you as something least expected. Exactly as it happened to Liliya Akhmetzyanova, the pianist from the jazz trio Lisipi. She started playing piano at age of six and, as many decent Russian pianists, graduated from a conservatory 20 years later. Then years of happy sight reading and ...
