Maier, Morpurgo, Ricci: Mesmer
by Neri Pollastri
Piccola gemma che esce dalle produzioni autarchiche di Giovanni Maier per la propria etichetta Palomar, questo disco è un omaggio a Paul Motian realizato in trio con al pianoforte Riccardo Morpurgo, che con il contrabbassista collabora da anni, e alla batteria Pietro Ricci, ennesima giovane leva del “vivaio" friulan-giuliano. Motian è autore di sei ...
Angelica Sanchez & Marilyn Crispell: How To turn the Moon
by Dan McClenaghan
Fans of piano jazz might have a preference for the trio format—piano/bass/drums. Or they might like their piano straight, no chaser, with solo piano sets. There is no shortage of trio and solo recordings floating around for our listening enjoyment. But two pianos? Rare, though not unheard of. Brad Mehldau and Kevin Hays offered up the ...

My Conversation with Gary Peacock
by AAJ Staff
Having been in the political arena, I know first hand the power of celebrity's undertow. It has a way of casually siphoning the integrity of a candidate. Fame and power in politics, I find, is quite similar in our music, and that it is no fluke that artists “sell-out." But Gary Peacock has not. The bassist ...
Jeff Cosgrove, John Medeski, Jeff Lederer: History Gets Ahead of the Story
by Ian Patterson
The striking absence of a bassist on this organ-trio tribute to William Parker speaks volumes about the singular approach that Jeff Cosgrove, John Medeski and Jeff Lederer have taken to the compositions of a modern jazz great. Parker's music is so diverse, his output so vast, that a cohesive overview would be difficult to distil onto ...
The Pat Metheny Songbook - A New Jazz Canon, Part 1
by Ludovico Granvassu
This week we launch a series of episodes that, from time to time, we'll look at the work of contemporary jazz players as composers, rather than performers, from Tim Berne to Geri Allen, Bill Frisell, Carla Bley, John Zorn, Brad Mehldau and many more. We are starting this series with Pat Metheny, the author ...
Bill Frisell: Valentine
by Angelo Leonardi
Pur confermando in pieno l'identità stilistica del chitarrista, il nuovo disco di Bill Frisell si rivela sottilmente imprevedibile: spiazza forse un po' l'ascoltatore ma lo coinvolge intensamente nella mente e nel cuore. Pubblicato il 14 agosto dalla Blue Note, Valentine è la prima incisione ufficiale del trio con Thomas Morgan e Rudy ...

Bill Stewart Interview
by Mike Brannon
From the 1995-2003 archive: This article first appeared at All About Jazz in May 2002. Upon joining The John Scofield group in the mid '80s it seemed like drummer Bill Stewart just appeared out of nowhere. They of course did a number of tours and studio dates together while word got around about Stewart's ...
Women in Jazz, Pt. 3: The International Women in Jazz Organization
by Karl Ackermann
In part 1 and part 2 of the Women in Jazz series, we looked at the historical marginalization of women in jazz from Lil Hardin Armstrong and Blanch Calloway in the 1920s to Tia Fuller in 2019. Part 2 focused on several prominent pioneering artists including the all-female International Sweethearts of Rhythm, Marian McPartland, and Melba ...
