Matt Slocum: Portraits

Read "Portraits" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Otto composizioni originali sotto il segno del classico trio pianoforte-basso-batteria allargato ad uno o più sax. È l'impalcatura del buon esordio discografico di Matt Slocum, che non passerà inosservato nell'attuale panorama jazzistico. Vi si riscontra un apprezzabile gioco di dinamiche all'interno delle varie composizioni, che traggono altresì forza nella concezione ritmica aperta e circolare del leader, ...

Matt Slocum: Portraits

Read "Portraits" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


Matt Slocum's multicolored traps--at times forceful or delicate, creatively painting varied tempos with the essence of swing--define the drummer's debut, Portraits. Hailing from St. Paul, Minnesota, Slocum's introduction carries forward the torch of patriarchs Max Roach and Elvin Jones amongst others, but he also carves out his own rhythmic patterns with young contemporaries such as Eric ...

Matt Slocum: Portraits

Read "Portraits" reviewed by Terrell Kent Holmes


Drummer Matt Slocum makes a memorable debut with Portraits, an eloquent and sophisticated collection of mostly original compositions, interpreted smartly by the leader, pianist Gerald Clayton and bassist Massimo Biolcati.

Bob Rodriguez: Portraits

Read "Portraits" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


L'eredità musicale di Bill Evans impronta la cifra espressiva di questo disco, inciso nel '94 da Rodriguez in piena solitudine. Un pianista bravo ma non originalissimo, il cui camaleontismo non riesce a far decollare il decorativismo che informa il CD. Suoi colori, stilemi, vezzi, manierismi rimandano al marchio di fabbrica della pratica evansiana anche in alcune ...

Bob Rodriguez: Portraits

Read "Portraits" reviewed by Elliott Simon


There are times when there's the urge to put on some solo piano music, turn down the lights and experience the intimacy that no other instrument can so perfectly create. And while the pensive Portraits that Bob Rodriguez paints on this solo effort are done up in somber tones there is an immeasurable beauty to these ...

Bob Rodriguez: Portraits

Read "Portraits" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Recorded in 1994 and released in 2009, New York area pianist Bob Rodriguez doesn't delve into an existential framework splattered with hidden meanings. Simply stated, the album title intimates the artist's personalized musical portraitures equally divided between standards and originals. The pianist communicates great depth amid soul-stirring choruses and animated right hand leads. Rodriguez ...
