Mario Pavone: Street Songs

Read "Street Songs" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Listing an accordion in a jazz sextet's lineup evokes either thoughts of avant-garde leanings or maybe kitschy hipsterism. Not so for bassist Mario Pavone. Street Songs includes Adam Matlock's bellows-driven squeezebox, not as a gimcrack ornament, but a link to the immigrant working class neighborhood music of Pavone's post-WW II youth. The musician's history ...

Riverside: Riverside

Read "Riverside" reviewed by Troy Collins

by Troy Collins

The collaborative quartet Riverside was initially founded by Montreal-based tenor saxophonist Chet Doxas to explore the legacy of groundbreaking American composer and multi-reedist Jimmy Giuffre. Long admired by fellow jazz musicians for his innovative use of counterpoint, microtonality and rhythmic freedom, Giuffre has rarely received the sort of popular acclaim his body of work deserves.

Onaje Allan Gumbs: Bloodlife: Solo Piano Improvisations Based on the Melodies of Ronald Shannon Jackson

Read "Bloodlife: Solo Piano Improvisations Based on the Melodies of Ronald Shannon Jackson" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Best known for his mainstream work with Woody Shaw on classic albums like The Moontrane (Muse, 1975) and Stepping Stones (Columbia, 1978), it may come as a surprise to learn that pianist Onaje Allan Gumbs was not just a friend and mentor to Ronald Shannon Jackson, but that he also played on the drummer's Decode Yourself ...

Dave Douglas: Riverside

Read "Riverside" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala

by Giuseppe Segala

Forse per una certa attitudine alla discrezione, Dave Douglas non ha mai reso esplicite nei titoli dei propri album le profonde attenzioni da lui tributate ai grandi della musica di cui si è occupato. Eppure nella sua discografia ci sono alcune tra le più pregnanti e intelligenti focalizzazioni sul mondo artistico di altri musicisti, con un ...

Alon Nechushtan: Ritual Fire

Read "Ritual Fire" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

by Neri Pollastri

Nato in Israele nel 1974 e dal 2003 negli USA, il pianista Alon Nechushtan vanta tra i propri mentori anche Paul Bley e Bob Brookmeyer, i quali evidentemente gli hanno trasmesso quelle tracce del magistero di Jimmy Giuffre che caratterizzano questo eccellente lavoro d'improvvisazione--idealmente ispirato alla creatività pittorica istantanea di Jackson Pollock--e che vengono a più ...

Claudio Cojaniz - Franco Feruglio: Blue Africa

Read "Blue Africa" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

by Neri Pollastri

Il pianista Claudio Cojaniz rinnova la sua pratica del duo con il contrabbasso--frequentata con successo oltre vent'anni orsono assieme a Giovanni Maier nel mitico album Due--e lo fa con un suo antico compagno di strada, Franco Feruglio, che nel frattempo ha accumulato esperienze nei più diversi territori della musica--dalla classica contemporanea a Ludovico Einaudi, dalla musica ...

Pandelis Karayorgis Trio: Cocoon

Read "Cocoon" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero

Può un classico piano-trio--nel quale viene rispettata la canonica suddivisione dei ruoli (il contrabbasso fa il contrabbasso, la batteria suona come una batteria), dove trova posto l'usuale successione di assoli e l'altrettanto usuale alternanza tra brani lenti e brani veloci, dove le composizioni sono basate quasi interamente sul blues, il più classico dei generi musicali americani--sembrare ...
