Michael Musillami Trio: Old Tea
by Nic Jones
Guitarist Michael Musillami composed the music for this program in the wake of his son Evan's death. The fact that it's measured and profoundly beautiful is testament to what music can do, and the fact that it's so superbly realized comes down to the fact that this trio is supremely empathetic. Five recordings to date are ...

Dopo Wynton Marsalis, ecco un'altra ambiziosa suite dedicata ad una kermesse jazz. Si tratta del Lichtfield Jazz Festival, cui ora rende omaggio Peter Madsen per far rivivere umori, luoghi, persone di un appuntamento estivo seguitissimo negli Stati Uniti.

The Fonda - Stevens Group: Memphis
by AAJ Italy Staff
Artisticamente insieme da più di un ventennio, il bassista Joe Fonda e il pianista Michael Stevens danno alle stampe Memphis, un album che richiede una buona dose d'attenzione, viste le diverse soluzioni compositive intraprese e le relative complicazioni estetiche. Dalla penna dei due prendono vita i dieci originali proposti, cinque a testa, che si evolvono in ...
The Fonda/Stevens Group: Memphis
by John Sharpe
Eighteen years and eleven albums is not bad going for a band roaming that precarious borderline between the mainstream and the avant-garde.
