Alessandro Galati Trio: Seals
by Neri Pollastri
Dopo aver esordito giusto vent'anni fa con un piano trio che lo vedeva affiancato nientemeno che da Palle Danielsson e Peter Erskine e aver lavorato continuativamente in trio con altri due “mostri sacri" come Arild Andersen e Paolo Vinaccia, il pianista fiorentino Alessandro Galati ha stavolta messo assieme un trio del quale è pienamente leader, con ...

by R.J. DeLuke
Marshall Gilkes is a trombonist of monster chops and great taste whenever he puts the brass to his lips in any performance.

Mike Collins: And Suddenly, Evening
by Bruce Lindsay
Based in the Georgian splendour of the west of England town of Bath, pianist Mike Collins writes and plays music characterized by a melodic sensibility that seems to match his home town's air of respectability.

Dann Zinn: Shangri La
by Dan Bilawsky
Maybe we've had it all wrong about Shangri-La. Instead of viewing it as a fictional utopian locale, as laid out by author James Hilton in his famed Lost Horizon (Macmillan, 1933), it can be alternately viewed as a wide-open musical state of being waiting to be explored. That's what saxophonist Dann Zinn seems to go for ...
