Dance Dance Dance
by Dan McClenaghan
Dolphin Dance The dolphins frolicked just south of the end of the pier, leaping in playful arcs that took them completely out of the water. They bumped fins and swooped in and out of the pod. A select few angled their slick bodies into vertical positions, coming half out of the water to eyeball, up on ...
Enrico Rava: Fearless Five
by Giuseppe Segala
Dote dei grandi veterani è quella di portare con sé una bella fetta di storia e di renderne partecipi gli altri con generoso senno. È il caso di Enrico Rava, che con Fearless Five centra ancora l'obiettivo di alimentare il talento della mirabile squadra che certamente, è risaputo, non manca di estro, preparazione e fantasia, ma ...
Keith Jarrett: The Old Country: More from the Deer Head Inn
by Mario Calvitti
Già da alcuni anni l'attività pianistica di Keith Jarrett si è forzatamente interrotta per motivi legati alle condizioni di salute dell'artista, colpito da ictus, ma la sua musica continua a venire pubblicata con novità discografiche provenienti dagli archivi ECM, alternando le esecuzioni jazzistiche a quelle classiche con cadenza più o meno annuale. Questo nuovo album rappresenta ...

Keith Jarrett: The Old Country: More from the Deer Head Inn
by Jack Kenny
Keith Jarrett remarked as he listened to a tape of the session: “I think that you can hear on this tape, what jazz is all about." What did he mean? Was he reacting to criticisms of his long-form improvisations? Was it because he was in a small venue that prioritized jazz? Of course, you ...

Álvaro Torres Trio: Iris
by Dan Bilawsky
At the age of 19, the Madrid-born, globe-hopping pianist Álvaro Torres fantasized about a life in New York, surrounded by influences and inspiration(s). And at the age of 29, he's living that dream. Studies at the Manhattan School of Music offered an initial pathway into all that the Big Apple has to offer, and life beyond ...
Alex Jenkins Trio: Black Bird
by Dan McClenaghan
An initial spin of Sacramento-based drummer Alex Jenkins' Black Bird--recorded by the Alex Jenkins Trio (AJT)--brings saxophonist Sonny Rollins' A Night At The Village Vanguard (Blue Note, 1958) to mind. Rollins rolled in the trio mode for these 1957 Vanguard shows with just his saxophone, bass and drums. Going on stage in 1957 without a chording ...
Giovanni Guidi: A New Day
by Mark Corroto
There is some positive momentum surrounding Italian pianist Giovanni Guidi, especially with the trio he established with American bassist Thomas Morgan and Portuguese drummer João Lobo. Guidi's trio produced two excellent releases for ECM, City Of Broken Dreams (2013) and This Is The Day (2015). Their brand of music--let's call it the Bill Evans trio with ...
Giorgio Pacorig & Stefano Giust: Così com’è
by Mark Corroto
The sporting equivalent of Giorgio Pacorig and Stefano Giust's Così Com'è ("that's how it is") might be tennis. Their game is a friendly back-and-forth rendezvous instead of a competition that can only be accomplished by two musicians who have worked (a better word would be played) together for more than two decades. Pacorig's piano and Giust's ...
