Taking stock, a year half over
by Mark Corroto
This month, at the halfway point in the year of music, we are taking stock, and there have been so many great discs released. Here is my list (in no particular order) of the best albums so far. I predict many of these will make final top ten 2013 lists. Sorry, I couldn't keep my list ...
Peter Evans: Zebulon
by AAJ Italy Staff
Peter Evans ha rappresentato senz'ombra di dubbio, per coloro che lo conoscevano poco o punto, la più sfavillante sorpresa dell'ultimo Bergamo Jazz, dove ha portato giustappunto il trio protagonista di questo CD, inciso un anno prima del concerto bergamasco (il 25 e 26 marzo 2012) nel locale newyorchese che lo intitola. Il disco, poco meno di ...
Lisa Ullen / Nina de Heney / Okkyung Lee / Mariam Wallentin
by Eyal Hareuveni
The duo of acclaimed Swedish improvisers pianist Lisa Ullén and double bassist Nina de Heney, winner of the Swedish radio prize Jazzkatten for 2012 as the musician of the year, has been active now for more than four years and was documented on the remarkable double album Carve (LJ Records, 2009). Ullén and de Heney managed ...
Jean-Luc Cappozzo & Geraldine Keller: Air Prints
by Eyal Hareuveni
The collaborative art of French trumpeter Jean-Luc Cappozzo and vocal artist and flutist Géraldine Keller is a sophisticated play with air. Air breathes, gusts, atmospheric waves or windswept labyrinths and the spaces between these air bursts. Cappozzo and Keller subject the ether to their spontaneous whim, often surrender themselves to the surprising fancy of the ether. ...
Jazz: A Blessed Obsession
by Mark Corroto
Jazz listeners travel some strange and beautiful paths. It might have all begun with collectors trying to find a legendary Edison cylinder that New Orleans trumpeter Buddy Bolden--some believe to be the very first jazz musician--may (or may not) have recorded in 1904. Fast forward to modern times, a quick scan of eBay and the exorbitant ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Slippery Rock
by AAJ Italy Staff
Mettere in fila un paio di idee e fissarle su nastro, magari riuscendo a dire qualcosa di significativo, è alla portata di molti. Restare in carreggiata per dieci anni e cinque dischi - sei compreso il doppio Live in Coimbra -, viaggiando a mille all'ora e con il motore sempre al massimo dei giri, è cosa ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Slippery Rock
by Eyal Hareuveni
Mostly Other Peopele Do the Killing is back! And with it the rightly slandered genre of smooth jazz. This quintet's fifth studio album was penned by MOPDtK bassist Moppa Elliot after a lengthy immersion in the smooth jazz recordings of the late 1970s and '80s. Elliott extracted certain idiomatic phrases, harmonies and embellishments from this superficial ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Slippery Rock
by John Sharpe
Like the previous four studio albums by self-styled bebop terrorist band Mostly Other People Do the Killing, Slippery Rock begins with a drum solo over a vamp before kicking into the first tune. That's not the only thing that remains constant. Leader/bassist Moppa Elliott's songwriting talents haven't deserted him either; his charts, named after small Pennsylvania ...
Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Setting the Record Straight
by Troy Collins
Mostly Other People Do the Killing is frequently typecast as one of today's most humorously irreverent young jazz groups, based in no small part on their provocative name, which was inspired by a quote attributed to inventor Leon Theremin--a survivor of the Soviet gulag who exonerated Stalin because “mostly other people did the killing." Bassist and ...
