Michael Musillami/Rich Syracuse: Of The Night

Read "Of The Night" reviewed by Budd Kopman


For some reason, Wayne Shorter is in the air, as evidenced by pianist Denny Zeitlin's wonderful Early Wayne and now guitarist Michael Musillami's duo album with bassist Rich Syracuse, Of The Night. As stated in the earlier review, Shorter tunes, for the most part, are almost immediately recognizable as such without being able to ...

Michael Musillami, Rich Syracuse: Of The Night

Read "Of The Night" reviewed by Maurizio Comandini


Il chitarrista americano Michael Musillami, attivo da oltre 25 anni sulla scena del jazz d'avanguardia, è una figura piuttosto defilata che spesso privilegia situazioni raccolte e visionarie da condividere con partner scelti con cura e attenzione per poi accendere con loro una conversazione a due o tre voci. Normalmente nei suoi album troviamo composizioni originali. Questa ...

Michael Musillami/Rich Syracuse: Of The Night

Read "Of The Night" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


It would be hard to name an artist who has written more jazz standards than saxophonist Wayne Shorter, someone who has been penning memorable tunes since his days with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in the very early sixties. After his stint with Blakey, he contributed his singular song crafting acumen to Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet ...

Andy Jaffe Nonet + 4: Arc

Read "Arc" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Gran bell'ensemble, quello messo assieme dal veterano Andy Jaffe per questo suo ambizioso progetto. Ne fanno parte nomi altisonanti, più un quartetto d'archi (di Taiwan) che si unisce qua e là (per esempio già nell'iniziale “Arc") al nonetto più squisitamente jazzistico. Il materiale posto sul piatto è ottimamente oliato e confezionato, a trazione ...

Andy Jaffe Nonet +4: Arc

Read "Arc" reviewed by Mark Corroto


It is difficult to get past the opening, and title track, to Andy Jaffe's Nonet recording Arc. The reason being, it is a flawless piece of music as it is written, arranged and performed. There is just something about this little waltz that is cinematic, in both the sense that it feels like the soundtrack to ...

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.

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 ...
