Julia Úlehla And Dàlava: Understories
by Neri Pollastri
Album molto particolare, questo della cantante, compositrice e artista multidisciplinare Julia Úlehla, oggi residente a Vancouver, studi in molti paesi del mondo (Italia inclusa), ma origini morave che qui mette a frutto in modo davvero singolare. Il programma prevede infatti in prevalenza rielaborazioni di canzoni popolari del paese della Moravia slovacca di cui era ...
Fieldwork: Thereupon
by Dan McClenaghan
Early in his recording career, pianist Vijay Iyer formed his most compelling group, Fieldwork. The initial album release, Your Life Flashes (Pi Recordings, 2002) broke new ground and put down the roots from which everything Iyer has created in 20-plus years has grown and flourished. Iyer's recording career began in 1995 with Memorophilia (Asian ...

Quartetto di grande pregio quello assemblato dal batterista e compositore Dan Weiss, con alcuni dei musicisti più in vista della scena newyorchese quali il trombettista Peter Evans, la vibrafonista Patricia Brennan e il chitarrista Miles Okazaki, già frequentati per anni in diversi contesti. Le otto composizioni, tutte a firma del leader, sono state scritte con questa ...
Best Jazz Albums of 2025: All-Star Break Edition
by AAJ Staff
As we hit the halfway mark of 2025, All About Jazz has adopted Major League Baseball's All-Star break approach but swapping homers for albums. Our team of 55 writers convened to name their top three albums of the year so far, with Mary Halvorson's About Ghosts (Nonesuch) emerging as the clear favorite and an early contender ...
Dan Weiss Quartet: Unclassified Affections
by Troy Dostert
When he is not keeping company as a sideman with some of the most innovative musicians of 21st century creative jazz--a list which includes folks like pianist Matt Mitchell, saxophonist Jon Irabagon, guitarist Miles Okazaki and bassist Trevor Dunn--drummer Dan Weiss has steadily been building his own impressive set of recordings as a leader. Recently, he ...
Steve Lehman Trio and Mark Turner: The Music of Anthony Braxton
by Troy Dostert
Anthony Braxton has long had a reputation as being one of the most abstruse and forbidding musicians of the jazz avant-garde. Whether it is his impossibly esoteric notation systems, or the bizarre instrumentation he sometimes features on his recordings--his Composition No. 19 (For 100 Tubas) being just one example--one must tread carefully when engaging this unique ...
Libero Farnè's Best Jazz Albums Of 2024
by Libero Farnè
The list I have compiled does not follow any order of preference. The albums are organized alphabetically by artist. In my opinion, every album on this list is of great interest. I decided to include a few U.S. albums, though I had to leave out many other deserving ones, as well as three Italian albums that ...
I Dischi del 2024 secondo Ludovico Granvassu
by Ludovico Granvassu
Spesso molti articoli sulle “migliori uscite dell'anno" iniziano con una premessa quasi apologetica ("questi non sono necessariamente 'i migliori album dell'anno,' ma 'i miei preferiti';" “è tutto soggettivo;" “domani avrei scelto titoli diversi;" “ho potuto selezionare solo dieci album," ecc.)? Queste dichiarazioni sembrano riflettere il disagio del redattore, costretto a riassumere un vasto ecosistema artistico selezionando ...
Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2024
by Ludovico Granvassu
Have you noticed how many “best of the year" listicles start with an apologetic preamble ("these are not necessarily 'the best albums of the year' but 'my favorites';" “it's all subjective;" “tomorrow I might have chosen different titles;" “I could only select ten albums" etc.)? Those disclaimers channel the writer's discomfort of having to summarize a ...
