Paul Motian
Born:
Although he studied drums in the Navy School of Music in Washington, there has never been anything militaristic about Paul Motian's prolific work as a jazz drummer. In the mid-1950s, he played with a host of jazz stars including Stan Getz, George Russell and Thelonious Monk, but his major association was with pianist Bill Evans, both in Evans's trio and as a member of other groups, such as the quartet led by clarinettist Tony Scott. With Bill Evans, he developed a way of playing that mirrored the pianist's phrasing and approach, often abandoning aspects of the drummer's traditional time-keeping role

Meeting Mr. Bonandrini. L'epopea di Black Saint e Soul Note
by Neri Pollastri
Giovanni Bonandrini è uno dei grandi artefici del jazz “dietro le quinte," nel nostro paese e non solo. Produttore discografico, ha dato vita e lustro dalla seconda metà degli anni Settanta fino ai Duemila all'etichetta indipendente Black Saint, rilevata da Giacomo Pellicciotti nel 1977, e l'ha affiancata alla Soul Note, dedicata al jazz più tradizionale, laddove ...
Marco Pasinetti: SIPHONOFORO
by Marco Iacoboni
Prima della musica bisogna parlare del significato nominale di questo album e collettivo omonimo, Siphonoforo. Il Siphonoforo è un invertebrato marino o meglio una colonia di zooidi specializzati ognuno ad una funzione vitale. Tradotto in musica è un quartetto senza un basso ordinario a darne la struttura, ma è sorretto dall'ascolto reciproco ...
Steve Swallow: Music Is Elemental
by Dean Nardi
For esteemed composer and bassist Steve Swallow, writing music is a long, sometimes arduous process that typically begins with only a cup of coffee in the morning before putting in hours, days, weeks--five months in fact, to complete the music for Winter Songs (ECM Records, 2026). For him, that is lightning fast. His idea of composition ...

Randy Ingram: Sound Within
by Dan McClenaghan
Everybody digs Bill Evans. Beginning in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Evans revolutionized the piano trio format, bringing a near equality of input of the three instruments into the mix. However, the piano itself was still the main voice. Bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian were his running mates. Sunday At The Village Vanguard ...
Slow Tiger: Slow Tiger
by Max Kutner
Listening to the music of Slow Tiger is akin to an encounter with an enormous, saturated rainbow. Their self-titled debut recording offers a kaleidoscopic palette of sonic color and otherworldly energy that remains endlessly fresh and nuanced. It is handily one of the best releases this year and yet another gem to come from the burgeoning Endectomorph label ...
James Wengrow: Emissary
by Max Kutner
On Emissary, his debut as a bandleader, guitarist and composer James Wengrow unleashes a collection of angular micro-symphonies that inhabit an abstract space while remaining meticulously detailed. Joined by a pair of brilliantly adept and aesthetically flexible musicians in bassist Mathias Højgaard Jensen and drummer James Paul Nadien, Crypsis trio can thoroughly explore, develop and present Wengrow's labyrinthine ideas ...
Sun Chung of Red Hook Records: Listening at the Threshold
by Tyran Grillo
Sun Chung's Red Hook Records has, in just five years, become one of the most quietly consequential imprints in contemporary creative music. Its significance lies not in volume, market saturation, or stylistic branding, but in something rarer: a producer's ear turned into an aesthetic world. At a time when recorded music is often treated as content, ...
