Samo Salamon: 2Alto

Read "2Alto" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero

by Vincenzo Roggero
July 17, 2014

Settantacinque minuti di musica e non sentirli. Merito del chitarrista di origine slovena Samo Salamon e del suo bassless quartet, formazione atipica, una sorta di espansione dei differenti trii che Salamon ha allestito con musicisti del calibro di Tim Berne, Tom Rainey, Paul McCandless, Achille Succi. L'assenza del contrabbasso, se da un lato è uno spot ...

Ralph Towner / Wolfgang Muthspiel / Slava Grigoryan: Travel Guide

Read "Travel Guide" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman
October 15, 2013

Following an early series of ensemble releases for ECM (the label he's called home as a leader since 1973), Ralph Towner ushered in the new millennium by focusing on solo explorations with Anthem (2001) and Time Line (2006). Not that there's anything wrong with that, but after classic records like Solstice (1975) and Batik (1978), there ...

Pierluigi Balducci: Blue from Heaven

Read "Blue from Heaven" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman
May 16, 2013

Traveling the world from South Africa to Svalbard, a harsh truth is revealed: despite challenges facing recorded music--and, paradoxically, the sheer volume being released--an increasing number of musicians deserving broader recognition are unable to transcend their native countries. Hiring internationally renowned players might seem a good tactic, but the result too often reflects exactly what it ...

Oregon: Family Tree

by AAJ Italy Staff
April 2, 2013

All'uscita dell'ennesimo disco degli Oregon (quello precedente era stato In Stride quello che stupisce di più è non tanto la longevità del gruppo (in attività da più di 40 anni con i tre quarti della formazione attuale) quanto la freschezza e la vitalità che la loro musica ancora esprime. Ad ascoltarla ben difficilmente si riuscirebbe ad ...

Burghausen Jazz Festival Burghausen, Germany March 12-17, 2013 Located almost exactly halfway along the border of the province of Bavaria (located in Germany's southeast) and Austria, the town of Burghausen might seem an odd place for a jazz festival, especially one now celebrating its 44th year.

Pierluigi Balducci: Blue from Heaven

by AAJ Italy Staff
February 25, 2013

Le ance liquide, sinuose, oniriche di Paul McCandless segnano da subito questo nuovo lavoro del bassista pugliese. Che stavolta si attornia di musicisti di primissima grandezza per illustrare la sua musica (in realtà il CD include anche un tema di Brad Mehldau, “Unrequited," e uno di Charlie Haden, “Our Spanish Love Song"), che proprio nei caratteri ...
