One Man’s Jazz Show 1200th Show Special
by Maurice Hogue
This episode of One Man's Jazz marks the 1200th since its very first show at CKUW FM in Winnipeg. It moved over to taintradio.org in early 2012. One of the mantras of the show has always been that the show was about the music and the musicians who make it. I had no illusions of becoming--let ...

Russ Lossing: Metamorphism
by Neri Pollastri
Registrato nel luglio del 2017, questo lavoro a firma dell'allora cinquantasettenne Russ Lossing, pianista della scena newyorchese originario dell'Ohio, vede all'opera un quartetto classico nella formazione, ma in equilibrio tra mainstream e contemporaneità negli stilemi. Il leader, infatti, ha alle spalle trentacinque anni di collaborazioni con artisti di primissimo piano, da Kenny Wheeler a ...
Joe Lovano: Finding New Adventures
by R.J. DeLuke
The loss of gig and the accompanying income stream, caused by the insidious and evil coronavirus, has hurt musicians across all genres. It has separated them from friends and band mates, from projects and from going to special places—physically and artistically. Coping with it is the order of the day. It has created some dark moments ...
Masabumi Kikuchi: Hanamichi The Final Studio Recording
by Pierre Giroux
Masabumi Kikuchi is not the kind of jazz pianist who just strikes the keys to produce a sound. He has a Zen-like approach to the instrument by making it an extension of himself, and thus both constructs and hears the music produced as a different form factor. There are and were other contemporary pianists such as ...
Gergo Borlai: Talkin' Drummers and Drumming
by Jim Worsley
Most kids have heroes. Whether they be athletes, astronauts, artists, astrophysicists, (and that's just the “A's") or any of the many asundered possibilities. Gergo Borlai needn't go passed the “D's" to find his calling. Drumming came early, incredibly early, and he has never looked back. Determination and commitment can be a powerful force. Before long the ...
Joe Lovano: Garden of Expression
by Karl Ackermann
Joe Lovano's entire recording career has been in the company of jazz greats since his debut with the Paul Motian Quintet in 1985. Lovano's hard bop days seem like a distant memory since his association with ECM began. Garden of Expression is the saxophonist's second project with his Trio Tapestry of pianist Marilyn Crispell, and drummer ...
Pandelis Karayorgis Double Trio: CliffPools
by Neri Pollastri
Ateniese di nascita, ma ormai residente a Boston dal 1985, il pianista Pandelis Karayorgis riunisce in questo album i due piano trio—rispettivamente Cliff e Pools—con i quali aveva registrato per la Driff Records altrettanti lavori negli anni precedenti, dando vita a una formazione atipica: un quintetto con due contrabbassi e due batterie, formalmente un doppio trio ...
Riccardo Morpurgo Mandala Trio: Kaleidoscopic
by Neri Pollastri
Creare una forma attraverso la complessità di figure che si producono nell'improvvisazione: questo l'obiettivo del pianista triestino Riccardo Morpurgo per Kaleidoscopic, album registrato alla guida del suo Mandala Trio, formazione dal nome non meno simbolico, composta da due affiatati compagni delle sue terre, il contrabbassista Alessandro Turchet e il batterista Luca Colussi. Morpurgo, autore ...
