Peter Madsen: Elvis Never Left the Building
by Karl Ackermann
The route through Graceland to a jazz concept album is a treacherous one. Popular music icons of varying styles--such as the Beatles and Joni Mitchell--have been transcribed with varying degrees of success. The more successful interpretations of The Crimson Jazz Trio benefited from their actual ties to King Crimson and outstanding musicianship. Now, pianist Peter Madsen's ...
Michael Musillami Trio: Pride
by Karl Ackermann
With ten albums as a leader in his portfolio, guitarist and composer, Michael Musillami remains disproportionately under the radar in the public domain. Working in formats from duo to octet and inspired by classic artists like John Coltrane and Miles Davis, Musillami has a gifted touch for arranging the traditional and highly improvisational together in accessible ...
Mario Pavone: Street Songs
by Mark Corroto
Listing an accordion in a jazz sextet's lineup evokes either thoughts of avant-garde leanings or maybe kitschy hipsterism. Not so for bassist Mario Pavone. Street Songs includes Adam Matlock's bellows-driven squeezebox, not as a gimcrack ornament, but a link to the immigrant working class neighborhood music of Pavone's post-WW II youth. The musician's history ...

Peter Madsen with Alfred Vogel: Soul of the Underground
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'intento era quello di intrecciare le più fervide ricerche sviluppate dall'avanguardia jazzistica con le suggestioni dell'arte figurativa astratta del '900. Attraverso la formula del duo, Madsen dà vita ad un progetto ambizioso, nell'omaggiare attraverso una pratica musicale volutamente improvvisata alcuni dei pittori che più lo hanno influenzato. Il flusso musicale è giocato sulla capacità di sviluppare ...

Mario Pavone Orange Double Tenor: Arc Suite t/pi t/po
by Nic Jones
This release is something of a milestone for bassist and leader Mario Pavone. Now in his 70th year, he's also in his 45th year in music, which in a lot of cases would understandably mark a slowing down or restatement of established values. But Pavone is nothing if not forward-looking. So while looking back to the ...
