Rachel Eckroth: The Garden
by Mike Jurkovic
One of the Phoenix's brightest lights, pianist-composer-vocalist Rachel Eckroth, who has ably added depth to the music of such polar opposites as Chris Botti, Rufus Wainwright, and St. Vincent, leaves no stone unturned in The Garden, her darkly convincing, Rainy Day Records debut. It is immediately apparent that Eckroth hears things unlike the rest ...
Benito Gonzalez: Sing To The World
by Jim Worsley
Unbridled rhythmic fury fueled by a rich harmonic underbelly is the essence of Sing To The World. Pianist Benito Gonzalez has once again assembled a vibrant cast that flourishes on ten original creations. Inventive and energetic, the ensemble gels in the moment and establishes interplay with rich and intelligent conversation. The depth and articulation comes as ...
Arseny Ryklov: Forgotten Melody
by Peter J. Hoetjes
Released on the St. Petersburg-based Rainy Days label, Arseny Ryklov's Forgotten Melody is categorized, by the pianist himself, as “contemporary jazz." While undoubtedly true, this is an interesting classification, given his background. “There are two styles that made the biggest impact on me," Ryklov states, “ECM and classical music, particularly impressionists and Russian composers."

Evgeny Sivtsov: Zoo
by Alberto Bazzurro
Ci sono reminiscenze di molto pianismo jazz, quello dell'albero maestro, ma anche qualche inflessione classicheggiante (moderata, invero), probabile frutto delle sue origini, nell'approccio che il giovane pianista russo Evgeny Sivtsov evidenzia in questo suo lavoro, inciso nel novembre 2017 ai Tedesco Studios, New Jersey, ma missato e masterizzato in quel di Mosca. C'è ...
Sasha Mashin: Happy Synapse
by Mike Jurkovic
Whoa! Russian born drummer Sasha Mashin kicks off his high-flying second disc with the crackling, manically modal, high-powered, retro-Impulse! speed-buzz of “The Hidden Voice," written by fevered alto-saxophonist Rosario giuliani, and Happy Synapse barely lets up from there. It is a sweet sound, a really, really sweet sound. Mashin intros “The Hidden Voice" like ...

JZ Replacement: Disrespectful
by Chris May
Visceralism and virtuosity, the two qualities which define this momentous debut album by JZ Replacement, make an unbeatable combination. They are also a necessary one. Without a degree of virtuosity, eloquence is constrained by lack of vocabulary. Without a degree of visceralism, technical facility is at worst mechanistic, at best purely cerebral. Bring the two qualities ...
