Mario Pavone: Street Songs
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 ...
Michael Musillami: Pride
by Alberto Bazzurro
Metà in studio (novembre 2013) e metà dal vivo (2007), questo doppio CD offre uno spaccato alquanto eloquente delle potenzialità del chitarrista Michael Musillami (tutte sue le composizioni) e del suo ormai rodatissimo trio (numerose le incisioni già realizzate), che ospita ora il pianoforte di Kris Davis (e in due brani anche il sax tenore di ...

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 ...
Ted Rosenthal Trio: Rhapsody In Gershwin
by Dan Bilawsky
The glories of George Gershwin have been well-documented in jazz settings. In fact, many would argue that Gershwin's music has been done to death. So does the world really need another tribute to this iconic tunesmith? In theory, it does not. Supply and demand, and the very nature of saturation, would say that a more-than-sufficient dose ...
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 ...
