Peter Madsen: Satin Doll – A Tribute to Billy Strayhorn

Read "Satin Doll – A Tribute to Billy Strayhorn" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


A dispetto di una carriera ricca di incisioni e collaborazioni, iniziata nel 1987 con Stan Getz, il pianista Peter Madsen è un tipico esempio di musician's musician, molto apprezzato dai colleghi ma poco noto al grande pubblico. Quest'incisione europea (Liechtenstein, novembre 2015) è nata per commemorare i cento anni della nascita di Billy Strayhorn, ...

Mats Gustafsson/ Alfred Vogel: Blow + Beat

Read "Blow + Beat" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Swedish saxophone powerhouse Mats Gustafsson was playing with his trio--The Thing--at the 2016 Beazau Beatz Festival when he hooked up with the excellent, but under-recognized, Austrian drummer Alfred Vogel, who hosts the outing. The resulting Blow + Beat is an extraordinarily challenging musical experiment from two fearless advocates of free thought. The saxophone/drum duo is an ...

Peter Madsen: Satin Doll – A Tribute to Billy Strayhorn

Read "Satin Doll – A Tribute to Billy Strayhorn" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey


The true beauty and utility of the Great American Songbook is the durability of the music in response to interpretation, often jarring and drastic. French pianist Martial Solal made a master's class of demonstrating the music's vitality on his uniformly excellent Live at the Village Vanguard: I Can't Give You Anything But Love (CAM Jazz, 2009). ...

Thomas Chapin: Never Let Me Go

Read "Never Let Me Go" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


L'ascolto di questo cofanetto fa rinascere aspra l'amarezza per la scomparsa prematura, nel 1998 a soli quarant'anni, di Thomas Chapin. Una raccolta che contrasta l'oblio e aggiunge qualche motivo di stupore e riflessione all'esperienza di chi ha apprezzato la fulminea, ricchissima eppure troppo breve vicenda artistica di quel grande musicista, straripante di vitalità e umanità.

Mario Pavone: Blue Dialect

Read "Blue Dialect" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Gone are the days where a jazz trio maintains a three month residency, playing nightly in a club. Nor are there world traveling units that refine their skills nightly on the road, working and reworking material. There will be no more piano trios led by the likes of Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans. But have no ...

Peter Madsen: Elvis Never Left the Building

Read "Elvis Never Left the Building" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi


"Quand'ero adolescente volevo essere Elvis!" confessa Peter Madsen nelle note del disco. La passione è andata avanti fino all'incontro con il jazz e sembrava finita per evidenti ragioni d'inconciliabilità. Con questo disco il pianista accetta una sfida davvero ardua, reinterpretando i classici di quel repertorio dalla sua prospettiva di artista inventivo e stilisticamente ricercato. Il risultato ...

Mario Pavone: Street Songs

Read "Street Songs" reviewed by Neri Pollastri


Mario Pavone ha un posto centrale nella musica creativa statunitense, avendo suonato con alcuni dei più importanti innovatori degli ultimi cinquant'anni--come Anthony Braxton, Wadada Leo Smith e Marty Ehrlich--e avendo avuto sodalizi stabili prima con Paul Bley, poi con Bill Dixon e infine con il compianto Thomas Chapin. Dopo la morte di quest'ultimo, con il quale ...
